Pro is the professional‟s choice for steel, concrete, timber, aluminium. To start with we have solved some sample problems using STAAD Pro. The design involves load calculations and analysis the whole structure by STAAD Pro and Robot Software. Additions to Existing Structures: Example: new bays or even entire.

Find sources: – ( July 2016) () STAAD or ( STAAD.Pro) is a and design software application originally developed by Research Engineers International in 1997. In late 2005, Research Engineers International was bought. STAAD.Pro is one of the most widely used structural analysis and design products worldwide. It supports over 90 international steel, concrete, timber & aluminium design codes. It can make use of various forms of analysis from the traditional static analysis to more recent analysis methods like analysis, geometric non-linear analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non Linear Analysis) or a analysis.

It can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis methods from time history analysis to response spectrum analysis.The response spectrum analysis feature is supported for both user defined spectra as well as a number of international code specified spectra. Additionally, STAAD.Pro is interoperable with applications such as RAM Connection, AutoPIPE, SACS and many more engineering design and analysis applications to further improve collaboration between the different disciplines involved in a project. STAAD can be used for analysis and design of all types of structural projects from plants, buildings, and bridges to towers, tunnels, metro stations, water/wastewater treatment plants and more.

The model geometry can even be generated from the data of macro-enabled applications (like Microsoft Excel, Microstation etc.) by using Macros. Physical Modeling [ ] Physical modeling has been a significant feature included in the program. STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler takes advantage of physical modeling to simplify modeling of a structure, which in turn more accurately reflects the process of building a model. Beams and surfaces are placed in the model on the scale of which they would appear in the physical world. A column may span multiple floors and a surface represents an entire floor of a building, for example. A joint is then generated anywhere two physical objects meet in the model (as well as at the free ends of cantilevered members, for convenience).

STAAD Building Planner [ ] STAAD Building Planner is a module that enables seamless generation of building models that can be analyzed and designed thereafter in the program itself. Operations like defining geometry, making changes in the geometric specifications are matters of only few clicks in this workflow.

Steel AutoDrafter [ ] Steel AutoDrafter workflow extracts planar drawings and material take-off from a structural steel model prepared in STAAD.Pro. It produces excellent quality plans at any level and sections in any of the orthogonal directions.

STAAD.Beava [ ] The general philosophy governing the design of bridges is that, subject to a set of loading rules and constraints, the worst effects due to load application should be established and designed against. The process of load application can be complex as governing rules can impose interdependent parameters such as loaded length on a lane, lane factors, and load intensity. To obtain the maximum design effects, engineers have to try many loading situations on a trial and error basis. This leads to the generation of many live load application instances (and a large volume of output data) that then must be combined with dead load and other effects, as well. Bridge Deck is used to minimize the load application process while complying with national code requirements.
