WIND CORNER PRESSURE AND ROOF IN WIND LOAD GENERATOR

Hello i would like to drop my suggestion for consideration, as we know up to now Wind Load generator, can only generate wind on panels. But during design we may have to apply corner wind pressure especially in connection design and also to apply w...

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 Physical Modeller

I assume this has been mentioned before (might even be working on it), but being able to specify the steel design parameters in the Modeler would be a game changer. A separate design module would be good too, but I don't think it's necessary.

Mass Reference Load in a Model as a Default

It should be the default way and I think its a great idea to include Mass Reference Load in X,Y and Z global direction as a default as it works for ELF, RSA and TH, Static and Dynamic Analysis.I would also Suggest Let User define what they would l...

automatic generation of wind load

The automatic generation of wind load should be made available to Indian code also apart from American code. It will save lot of time in analysis and manual calculation.

Assigning DJ1 / DJ2 to a model to define start/end of members must improve

To be forced to go assign both a node # and every member between 2 nodes for a few beams is not a big deal but when it's a giant model, it takes days to assign these values for deflection checks. Something must be done to make this more user frien...

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...

One Cursor to select all objects

It is highly inefficient to require the user to switch cursors for each selection in STAAD. STAAD shall identify the context of operation automatically, and select the object required. Users should be able to select nodes, beams, plates, loads, te...
