STAAD.Pro

Once a Report has been created with its respective input and output items, it would be excellent if there were the possibility of a Staad Report configuration can be saved to a file and reused in the results of other structures

Wind loading generator would be very attractive and fast to use, if it would generate uniform loading on column members instead of point loads for column nodes. I watched a session where in my understanding, wind load generator applies uniform loading...

Dear Staff Greetings Please I suggest to add MASONRY structures analysis & design in the next version of STAAD . Thanks

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

The Plate Center Stress table has Global Moments as one of the tabs. However there is no Summary tab corresponding to Global Moments that can enable the user to find out the maximum quickly.

STAAD does not consider the additional width of the fireproofed members; producing underestimated wind generated loads for open structures like piperacks. Please include this feature as this would make several of my colleagues happy.

Currently saved report setups are only available to the model it was saved in. The user should have the ability to load a report template that he created that can be used for any job.

It would be nice to be able to apply wind loads on plate elements. Especially given that there is a wind load definition specifically for tanks, but no way to model that tank other than plate elements. The alternatives are a cumbersome to implement, such...

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.

Often when clicking on a different tab, say going from "Geometry" to "Properties" for example, STAAD will change the view in the graphics window. Please, please, please do not change the view when switching between tabs.

I would like to suggest that popup box should automatically disappear right after clicking/selecting the intended command available. This would clear the view and automatically shows the selected/corresponding cursor. Right now I have observed that...

I think it is a good idea to allow users to name their Tapered sections as with the prismatic sections or sections created by user table. Because many times user creates many tapered sections in his model, andt when it comes to modifying one of these...

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

Adding the unit for FYLD parameter would be helpful. Just like the material information. Sometimes It is confusing which unit should be used.(of course it is same as material strength(stress))

Dear, It would be very useful to see section utilization ratios due to stresses only. For now it is available an overview of utility which includes stability checks . Regards,

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.

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,...

STAAD graphical display and user interface seems way behind compared to other similar software in the market. The controls for GUI are obsolete, inflexible and difficult to navigate.

I often create models with multiple support conditions. Because of STAAD's requirements on support degrees of freedom I have to model lift cases first. This means that I cannot model seismic cases first as required if I want to use STAAD's seismic load...

Hi! On STAADPRO Connect Edition, the graphical display of support icon does not update in corresponding current load condition. It only shows the latest support definition whatever load case is being selected. Although forces and design results are...

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.

Please I suggest to add MASONRY structures analysis & design in the next version of STAAD . Thanks

As you can see the above attched screen shot, that windows in post-processing are fixed. There's no way to see what the full name combination is "in that window" Would you please upgrade this?

Automatic creation of shear wall should be made available like etabs. Creating shear wall should have straight forward approach like etabs. in staad the approach is little tediuos

There is a real need for users who are working with plate elements. The current interface only allows the user to see the contours for plate center stress for a selected load case or combination. However for design engineer it is important to assess...
