STAAD.Pro currently does not have the capability to handle a progressive collapse type analysis

Thank you so much for this, the push over analysis is a very good one for collapse simulation, however, this only deals with lateral loading, can we have something similar for gravity loads?

Thank you

Hi,

In STAAD.Pro, there is a Pushover Analysis option to perform static nonlinear incremental analysis. See more in Help manual chapter G.17.4 Pushover Analysis.
Also, you may have a look at these threads for additional information and analysis options available:
