Bentley Staad

STAAD is a comprehensive structural finite element analysis and design application that provides you with powerful visualization capabilities and a wide range of international design codes. STAAD's powerful analysis capabilities allow you to perform analyses on any structure exposed to static, dynamic, wind, seismic, thermal, and moving loads.
Available in perpetual and annual Virtuosity subscription versions

Because every company has different needs,
there are three flexible STAAD variants:

• STAAD.Pro: It is a popular structural analysis application known for its analysis features, diverse applications of use, interoperability, and time savings. 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 ensure that the structural design complies with local regulations.

• STAAD.Pro Advanced: It includes all the modeling, analysis, design, and interoperability features of STAAD.Pro, but adds more advanced analysis, as well as reinforced concrete design and detailing features.

- Nonlinear geometric and cable analysis
- Eigen buckling analysis
- Soil spectrum analysis due to time-dependent load (seismic design)
- Steady-state dynamic performance for vibration design
- Pushover analysis
- Design and detailing of reinforced concrete beams, columns, foundations, pile caps, walls, and blocks
- Design reports, material inventories, and bill of quantities
- Automated reinforcement drawings, details, and schedules with customizable settings

• Structural WorkSuite: It is Bentley's most comprehensive suite
of structural software bundled into one affordable license. It includes everything in STAAD.Pro Advanced and STAAD Foundation Advanced, as well as various RAM programs.

● Graphical capabilities. Models can be created quickly and accurately using structural grids, tooltips for data highlighting, frame generators, and a structural wizard for standard structural frames.
● New advanced IDE style editor with IntelliSense, database integration, and context-sensitive help
● Meshing capabilities. Triangular or quadrilateral meshes created from zones within defined models or imported from DXF files
● Load generators. UBC| IBC| ASME seismic, wind, and snow| BEAVA bridge load
● Customizable interface with VBA tools. Create windows and tables according to your own specifications. SQL query generator
● STAAD Building Planner. Special modeling environment for building structures. Operations such as defining geometry or making changes to geometric specifications are a matter of a few clicks in this workflow.
