    Add live load reduction factor as design parameter

    There is currently no efficient way to consider the live load reduction factor in STAAD.Pro. It would be fantastic to add a parameter to the design section (e.g., under CSA S16-19 or AISC 360-16) to consider a live load reduction on an element by ...

    For concrete design, DESIGN LOAD case should show to critical load case, regardless if minimum rebar is enough

    When I model a concrete column in Staad.Pro, and perform the design, if the minimum rebar, lets say 1% is good enough for all load cases, the design load reported in the screen is the first load case. I understand because that rebar is OK for all ...

    Stress Ratio Results for Multiple Load Cases

    Show code check results for more than just the worst case. Should be able to see what the next worst, and next worse after that and so on. It's been over 10 years since I used it but I believe SACS does this. If so, could take a look at it.

    OpenSTAAD function to extract plate corner stresses.

    Anyone who perform post-processing/detailed analysis on plated structures will benefit from this. The function could take a plate ID and loadcase as input, and give plate corner stresses for all corners as output.
