I need help in creating slab. What is the best way to create it in analytical modelling (Staad Pro Connect Edition V.22). Should i use plate or mesh and what are their difference? 
 Thanks,

Yes, Parametric Modeling could also be used. It is the most advanced meshing method in the analytical modeler and it is the only method to be used when user wants to perform the shear wall design in the Advanced Concrete Design workflow (RCDC).
