Designing and Structural Analysis with STAAD.Pro

STAAD.Pro offers the best features and flexibility to design any kind of structure or model (tunnels, culverts, bridges, petrochemical plants, factories, and piles), and allows users to share the designs with the entire team. The best thing about STAAD.Pro is that it allows to consider all factors while designing a structure – right from limitations (like force, load, displacements) to structural analysis to cost. Owing to these, productivity increases; workflow gets streamlined; duplication of efforts is reduced; and errors and delays are lowered along with project cost. The tool helps to design, analyse, and create structure from any kind of material, such as concrete, timber, aluminum, iron, steel, etc., and facilitates precise and economical designs. Most importantly, it helps to create complex structures with flexible modelling environment and advanced facilities, such as dynamic change revision and management. Embedded with more than 80 international codes, the need to learn or create multiple software applications reduces significantly, thereby fulfilling requirements quickly.

Some distinguishing features of STAAD.Pro are:

1. It allows to analyze gravity and lateral load: Professionals can design, create and evaluate any type of structure, be simple or complex, with a variety of loading conditions such as gravity, dead and live loads. All these parameters can be taken into consideration along with lateral loads, such as wind and seismic.
2. It allows to assess time-dependent effects: A feature in this tool allows to analyse and accordingly decide factors such as creep, shrinkage, and cracking at various period. It allows to accurately predict deflection based on concrete nature.
3. Design with cold-formed sections
4. Design structural systems to fulfil seismic requirements: Create design of structure which can withstand seismic forces, taking ductility into consideration.
5. Finite elements to analyse structure accurately.
6. Modelling structure decks, slabs, beams, columns, slab edges and openings, walls, braces, spread and continuous footings, and pile caps.
7. Create beam, columns, and wall designs
8. Create frames that can resist seismic and wind forces
9. Develop load design
10. Develop reinforced concrete and structural steel
11. Generate structural design documentation
