Overview

Any project. Anywhere. Any material. You can design, analyze, and document structural projects – anywhere in the world, with any material using STAAD. It offers you a flexible solution to cover all your structural engineering needs from the foundation up. STAAD is a comprehensive structural finite element analysis and design application that allows users to perform analysis on any structure exposed to static, dynamic, wind, earthquake, thermal, and moving loads. STAAD comes in different variations so you can choose what’s best for you.

Capabilities

What is STAAD.Pro? STAAD is a popular structural analysis application known for analysis, diverse applications of use, interoperability, and time-saving capabilities. STAAD helps structural engineers perform 3D structural analysis and design for both steel and concrete structures. A physical model created in the structural design software can be transformed into an analytical model for structural analysis. Many design code standards are incorporated into STAAD to make sure that the structural design complies with local regulations. What is STAAD.Pro Advanced? STAAD.Pro Advanced includes all the modeling, analysis, design and interoperability capabilities of STAAD.Pro, but layers on more advanced analysis, as well as reinforced concrete design and detailing features.

• Nonlinear geometric and cable analysis
• Eigen buckling analysis
• Floor spectrum analysis due to time history loading (seismic design)
• Steady state dynamic performance for vibration design
• Pushover analysis
• Design and detailing of reinforced concrete beams, columns, footings, pile caps, walls, and slabs
• Design reports, material takeoffs, and bill of quantity
• Automated reinforcing drawings, details, and schedules, with customizable settings What is Structural WorkSuite?
