To both @Tstruct and @user277418, the point I was trying to make was not about comparing against any provider, but about the importance of having a system that retains the data in a consistent way without changing the fundamentals as engineers frequently have to return to historical data...
As product manager of STAAD.Pro, I clearly have a particular view about what it is that STAAD.Pro offers that has made it the solution adopted by so many engineers globally. The reality is that it is almost a different reason for each organisation and every engineer. What I can say without...
The issue you are having is due to the model already having combinations defined. Comment out this command and the LOAD LIST that follows the analysis, then you will see the command generator will operate and can add the commands as required. This is because you are essentially generating...
STAAD.Pro has certainly changed over the years as has all engineering software. The updates are designed are to keep ahead of changes in engineering practices and goals to improve productivity such as by providing better interop solutions. Sometimes these changes may be more beneficial to some...
Just thought I'd add another way you can add the ALUMINIUM TAKE OFF command using the graphical interface rather than menus.
Click on the 'Design' Page Control tab on the left of the screen. That displays the various methods avaialble as sub-tabs, the default being the top which is 'Steel'...
Without seeing your model it is hard to determine exactly what you are trying to model. What I would suggest if you need to have a finite element model, then create a suitable mesh to get node points at or close to the points where you want to extract the forces. Alternatively you can work with...
I assume as you are posting in the STAAD forum that you are using STAAD.Pro and have modelled your manhole using a finite element mesh, then when you review the stresses in the post processing mode, these will be based on the resolved moments and direct stresses. For rebar design, you may want...
First off I should declare my interest as I am the product manager of STAAD.Pro. As you can imagine I am immensely proud of the program and take seriously any issue found and reported whether a bug or limitation that users would like to see addressed. All these issues are recorded and...
Let me start by saying that I am the product manager for STAAD.Pro and STAAD(X) and have been involved in the development of STAAD since it was brought out of the DOS and its early foray into Windows days of STAAD III.
STAAD.Pro continues to be a widely respected application and has benefits...
