Update CANADA/NRC seismic load calculation

Currently the latest NBC in the STAAD seimsic load generator is 2010. The changes for 2015 NBC are essentially none, and 2020 NBC is coming into force soon as well. This should be a pretty easy fix

Add ability to show "Colour by Utilization Ratio" for 3D view in post processing workflow

It would be good to have a 3D view in post processing with colours of the beam as defined with a UR value. It is possible to have this with beam view now, but would be good if we have it for 3D view like SACS have. (as shown below for example).

Inclusion of SS EN 1998-1 Seismic Action & Accidental Torsion

Cold form section outside the standard library not designed in STAADpro as per IS801

STAADpro is not able to design cold form section outside the standard library or any user defined cold form section as per IS801. This is severe limitation as many users are using sections of their choice which are not in the library. This is espe...

Design of double channel section in STAAD needs improvement

At present design of double channel in STAAD as per IS800 LSD is having certain work flow. It assumes higher MI as a major axis even if it can be about minor axis Y which is not correct. STAAD should consider section orientation as provided by use...
