STAAD.Pro

To change the default colors in detailed diagram. As seen in following screenshot the default colors are very weird. Failed members are color green in several green tones that are hard to differentiate. A spectrum will be very simple to understand...

Now current Mexican LRFD code included in STAAD.Pro is from 1987. The current version 2017 or newer is needed.

Currently after run analysis we can see the status of design in postprocessing. If fail design appear, now we have to edit and rerun all model and check if edition is good or not. When only 5~10% of members fails, and in large models, this is very time...

Dear Sir, Under the support head spring tension/compression only, all the support acts in the global directions. But, when the spring system is assigned, for the X & Z it is different from the Y direction. Please correct the notation or the display...

make RCDC design all type footing(single,combine,mat......)combine (RCDC,RCDC FE and staad advance foundation)

Currently, STAAD.Pro only has options for generating Response spectra loads as per Eurocode. Users have requested to implement Eurocode for Static seismic cases as well.

I am recommending that the same software engineers that is responsible for producing the detail drawings for RCDC should be responsible for producing the drawings for Staad Advance Foundation Design. The Detailing drawing designs in Staad Advanced Foundation...

There should be a feature in RCDC whereby you can group selected footing for combine footing design and detailing. Or, after RCDC is finish footing designs and the distance between adjacent footings are below a specified minimum, then RCDC should design...

Introducing the link element option to define the translational and rotation spring and its stiffness property in between two element interface in Staad (member to member , plate to member , plate to plate).. For example, Glass Facade (plate element...

Having the option to initiate Steady State Analysis through the GUI will help avoid command syntax errors and enhance user experience

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.

Both of Surjit and Sabrina are Great at Explaining New Features and avoiding redundant or unnecessary tasks!

Since Physical Model is a preferred way, Users should not be forced to edit the .STD input file and must be included as a Standard feature and Users should not be forced to tweak input file.

Moving load requires a Beam Member in model, If Model did not have any, it should be able to add a dummy member on the fly based on Moving load definition.

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 like...

Every time I change the view I have to reset the reaction annotation settings. Make it so that it always uses the last setting. Don't reset it back to show all DOF when you change the view.

It would be better to have Translational repeat for inclined planes too in addition to X/ Y/Z with reference plane or nodes. It is good for adding members or frames from inclined plane to same inclination plane

RCDC does an excellent job performing seismic ductile wall design according to Eurocode, yet the following areas needs improvement or clarification: 1. According to EN 1998:2004 section 5.4.2.4(4 and 5), seismic walls shall be designed for moment envelope...

As the title says, add section property and material to the Members spreadsheet in the physical modeler. This might not be "consistent" with how things are done in the spreadsheet ribbon, but so often when modelling the user wants to group the members...

Dear All, I highly recommend to include calculation of vertical seismic load using NBCC 2010/2015 . I see it as a big gap in Staad Pro not to include calculation of vertical seismic loadiing using NBCC 2010/2015 Thanks a lot

Dear All, I highly recommend to include calculation of seismic load using NBCC 2015. I see it as a big gap in Staad Pro not to include Seismic loading using NBCC 2015 Thanks a lot

SJI joists are available in the analytical modeler, but not the physical modeler.
