Request Omitted Data from IBC/ASCE7 Seismic Load Generator

There is no method, report, or output command available to display the "k" coefficient used by the program for vertical distribution of seismic base shear per ASCE 7-16, Eq 12.8-2. Since this value can vary with the period it needs to be reported ...

OpenSTAAD Function to Redefine Member/Plate Incidence

There will be many occasions where a user wants to redefine the incidence of one or more members or plates. It would be helpful if there is an OpenSTAAD function to carry out this task as this saves a lot of effort and time. I understand that ther...

Reuse the water tank module to form a retaining wall module in SPPM

Are there any plans to use the Water Tank module in Structure Wizard in the Physical Modeler to create a retaining wall module? It seems like this could be developed easily from the water tank module.

Allow seismic load in any order

I often create models with multiple support conditions. Because of STAAD's requirements on support degrees of freedom I have to model lift cases first. This means that I cannot model seismic cases first as required if I want to use STAAD's seismic...

OpenSTAAD function to remove the unused isotropic materials

Staad by default adds some materials to the model (please refer to the snapshot attached). Majority of these will not be used during automation (as the materials will be created separately based on the need) and hence the materials section remains...

Option to input load values in STAAD as a function F(x) where x varies ( e.g x= depth)

In recent times, I have been designing a large number of buried underground structures. (I figured many Engineers may have similar experiences on this too). For buried structures, a few of the applied loads are a function of a single variable i.e....
