Why STAAD Pro?
STAAD Pro, developed by Bentley Systems, is the world's most widely used structural analysis and design software for steel, concrete, timber, and composite structures. While ETABS dominates building design, STAAD Pro is the preferred tool for industrial structures, towers, bridges, warehouses, and steel framing — all booming sectors in Hyderabad and Telangana. Major infrastructure companies — L&T, Shapoorji Pallonji, Afcons, and local EPC firms — actively look for engineers proficient in STAAD Pro. Our course teaches you not just how to use the software, but how to design real structures following IS codes.
Course Syllabus

- STAAD Pro interface: Modelling mode, Analysis mode, Post-Processing mode
- Units, coordinate systems (Global and Local), and command language basics
- Creating nodes, members (beams, columns, truss elements), and plate elements
- Using Structure Wizard for standard structures (2D frame, 3D frame, truss, cylinder)
- Snap-grid geometry creation and importing from AutoCAD DXF
- Assigning material properties: concrete, steel, timber, aluminium
- Prismatic sections and standard steel table sections (IS sections)
- Tapered members, user-defined sections
- Member orientation (beta angle), releases, and offsets
- Fixed, pinned, roller supports and inclined supports
- Self-weight, joint loads, member loads (uniform, trapezoidal, concentrated)
