Full analysis of structure (calculation) shown in Staad "Bentley Copilot"

As bentley Copilot is enhanced to better version, the following suggestions are very important and need to incorporate.

It is exciting news that "Bentley Copilot" feature is now available in staad pro, Bentley Copilot provide answers only as available in "Help documentation", but it is suggested that, this search feature should be expanded in upcoming version of staad pro as following,
(1)_ By Incorporating various authentic engineering websites, University courses, standard engineering books & videos, structural engineering concepts, calculations, various industrial structural design projects (as whole) etc into bently copilot, to enable it to get any answers for any type structures in staad, rather than only available in "Help documentation" or case specific.

(2): Traditional version of staad provides only design report or design calculation, but It is highly suggested that Bentley Copilot should also be capable of proving thorough analysis calculation (as calculated in engineering books) along with design calculation for any structures that are analysed and designed into staad.
For example if the piperack structure is modeled, analysed and designed into staad, If user asked a question in Bentley Copilot search bar as, "Please provide full analysis calculation of this pipe rack from start to end, for all load combinations", OR
"Please show the degree of static and kinematic indeterminacy of this structure",
OR
"Please show the load path for all loads for this piperack structure", the bently copilot should be enable to provide the same thing asked by user.

Incorporating above suggestions will prove more beneficial for professionals and engineers to verify structures and to make career growth. Hopefully, these suggestions will surely implement in upcoming version of bentley Copilot.
