STAAD PRO

STAAD Pro is a structural analysis and design program software. It’s a comprehensive structural finite element analytical and design application that allows users to perform analysis on structure exposed to statics.
Staad is one of the popular software that is used for analyzing & designing structures like – buildings, towers, bridges, industrial, transportation and utility structures.
STAAD Pro is one of the most commonly used structural analysis and design software. It covers over 90 global steel, concrete, aluminum and timber design codes.  It can make use of various types of analysis from the traditional static analysis to recent analysis like geometric non-linear study, p-delta analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non-Linear) or a buckling analysis.
"Learn Yourself STAAD.Pro V8i" is developed for the learners of the software to provide easy and clear understanding of various features and facilities available in this software. This book can be useful for students and practicing engineers of civil and structural engineering.

What are the disadvantages of STAAD pro?

Limitations of Staad Pro Software:

It gives uneconomical results for multi-story structures.
Limitations in modeling.
Analysis of complex structures can be tedious.
Proper detailing of reports is not available.
not for brick masonry works.

A physical model created in the structural design software can be transformed into an analytical model for structural analysis.

STAAD Pro:

STAAD Pro is a structural analysis and design computer program. We can work fairly well with steel, concrete, timber, aluminum and cold- formed steel projects in STAAD Pro.

FEATURES OF STAAD Pro:

 Automatically transform your physical model into an analytical model to modernize your workflow.
 Design for high-seismic provinces or everybody conditioned, using finite element analysis.
 STAAD Pro mostly used to execute the structural elements like trusses, columns, beams, walls, slabs on the basis of loads, moments, shear forces, torsional effects, bending moments, deflection etc.
 STAAD Pro is used for 3D model generation, analysis and multi-material design.
 The commercial version of STAAD Prosupports several steel, concrete and timber design codes.

CONCLUSION:

STAAD Pro is good over ETABS for the analysis of steel structure frames as the codes and user interface is better integrated in STAAD Pro.

Description

STAAD stands fCoyrbSertrSueccturaitly Analysis and Design. STAAD.Pro software is widely used in analyzing and designing structures – buildings, bridges, towers, transportation, industrial and utility structures. Designs can involve building structures including culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles and building materials like steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and cold-formed steel.STAAD.Pro helps structural engineers automate their tasks by removing the tedious and long procedures of the manual methods.
STAAD.Pro comes with flexible modeling environment, advanced features, and fluent data collaboration. It is the world’s number one structural analysis and design software that supports Indian and all international codes. STAAD.Pro allows structural engineers to analyze and design virtually any type of structure. Structural engineering firms, structural consultants, departments in construction companies, owner/operators, and government agencies, and offshore platform designers’ use this software extensively.
We introduce you to STAAD.Pro state of the art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element (FEM) and dynamic analysis capabilities.
