Dear sir, 
 
 Kindly guide me how we can build a pre engineering beam as composite beam in stad pro?

A composite beam in STAAD is always made up of a steel beam with a concrete slab or deck on top. What you are looking for is possibly built up tapered beams constructed by welding plates. You may use the Tapered I option ( Properties - Whole Structure > Define > Tapered I ) for that.
