STAAD Pro is a structural analysis and design software which is widely used to analyze and design structures for bridges, towers, buildings, transportation, industrial and utility structures. The software has now its latest version, STAAD Pro V8i with new and improved features. The STADD Pro V8i can now analyze and design any engineering structure.
-
STAAD Pro is capable of analysing and designing civil engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, and plane and space trusses.
-
This software can generate loads (wind and earthquake) as per building codes of selected countries.
-
Design of steel and reinforced concrete buildings as per the codes of selected countries can also be carried out with STAAD Pro.
-
It can carry out linear elastic (static and dynamic) and nonlinear dynamic analysis (although I am not sure how good the nonlinear analysis algorithms are, not having used those features).
-
The user interface is simple and easy to learn. This software is currently developed by Bentley Systems Inc. It was originally developed by Research Engineers Inc. in California.
-
Automatically convert physical model into an analytical model thus making the workflow proper.
-
Improve multi-discipline team collaboration through desktop and cloud and mobile applications
-
Optimize concrete and steel BIM workflows with integrated physical members and surfaces.
