Having the option to initiate Steady State Analysis through the GUI will help avoid command syntax errors and enhance user experience
STAAD should have options to define the Steady state analysis through GUI like other analysis. This makes life easy for STAAD user.
How are you using the Steady State analysis? Do you use this method in the same model as a static and/or dynamic time history or response spectrum, or is that as a dedicated model? Perhaps we can think of having a system that says which type of model that is being handled from the start and build a solution for steady state separatly?
I would prefer all that can be done with a command line editor be also available thru GUI tool and not use command line editor at all.But at the same time I would like to preserve Command line editor for those who are very proficient at using it and not use any GUI tool.
