Extend PRINT CG for plates and solids

It will be very helpful for the estimation if PRINT CG command works for groups of plate and beams and solid also. This will give directly the weight and volume of certain part of model, which is most of the the basic parameter of optimization. Ri...

Add NZS 1170.5 code to Seismic Codes in STAAD

STAAD does not have NZS 1170.5 in its Seismic Codes. Users in ANZ uses custom spectrum and factored it up to match the base shear. Adding this code will help the users in ANZ work directly with the NZ code and thus speed up their productivity. Use...

Multiple mass models/ seismic analyses for design

Many codes, particularly IS 1893 part-2 and IS 3370 part-2, the RCC elevated/underground water retaining structure should be analyse and design in "TANK ENPTY" and "TANK FULL" both of the conditions, but staad pro seismic definition whether it is ...

Steel Design Parameters in Modeler

I assume this has been mentioned before (might even be working on it) but being able to specify the steel design parameters in the Physical Modeler would be a game changer. A separate design module would be good too (sorta how RCDC works), but I d...

Time History in multiple load case for blast loads

For Blast loads in some cases we have to apply blast load in all the direction i.e x and z in different load cases. presently the time history load is possible only in one load case. Time history should be allowed to be added in mutiple load cases

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 ...

Insert node in members having built-up I-Section property.

Hi, When inserting a node into a beam having a tapered I-section property, the software automatically generates the properties for the new section and places it at the end of the property section. This poses significant challenges during the optim...

There sholud be a Way to Create a Physical Model from a working Analytical Model!

I know there is a way to use Copy/Paste Nodes, Members, Properties, Materials, etc.Not Talking about the hard way of doing things- which involves trial and error and a lot of clean up. Since the new recommended Workflow is promoting a Physical Mod...

MEMBER FORCES - GLOBAL Coordinate System

STAAD cannot report Beam Results in the Global Coordinate Systems in the UI Results Table. However, it is capable of printing Member Forces using the Global Coordinate System to the Analysis Report. This hinders downstream processes that require t...
