What is STAAD Pro and Its Uses in Civil
Engineering

• STAAD stands for Structural Analysis and Design.
  STAAD Pro is one of the most widely used software
  programs used for the analysis and designing of
  various structures like towers, bridges,
  buildings, culverts, tunnels etc. This program is
  designed to be compatible with all kinds of
  building materials such as concrete, cold-formed
  steel, steel, aluminium and timber. STAAD Pro was
  designed and created in 1997 by Research
  Engineers Inc. at Yorba Linda, California which
  was later acquired by Bentley Systems Inc. STAAD
  Pro, with its user-friendly interface was amongst
  the first structural analysis and design software
  programmes to support building codes from India,
  U.K., U.S.A. and other countries.

What is STAAD Pro and Its Uses in Civil
Engineering

• What role does STAAD Pro play in Civil
  Engineering?
• While AutoCAD serves as a drafting tool and is
  used to produce drawings that are usually
  vector-based, STAAD Pro is an analysis software
  used for structural analysis such as computing
  various loads and stress. This can be very useful
  to civil engineers in their work. So, with STAAD
  Pro, you can create any particular structure like
  a bridge or a tower and test that structure by
  applying various load and forces on it that are
  likely to happen in real-life situations such as
  strong wind, earthquake etc.
• How is STAAD Pro useful in Civil Engineering?
• STAAD Pro has now become an essential part of
  design and structural analysis solutions by using
  Open STAAD, an open API for accessing and
  managing programs through the Visual Basic macro
  system that is included in the application. Open
  STAAD functionality is also used in applications
  containing appropriate macro systems that are
  programmable.

• In addition to this, STAAD Pro also has the
  feature of direct links to STAAD foundation, RAM
  Connection and more such applications. This is
  very useful in providing support to engineers who
  work with applications that deal with design
  post-processing which are not handled by STAAD
  Pro directly.
• From CIMsteel Integration Standard Version 2
  which is known as CIS/2, STAAD Pro computes
  schema analysis which is used by several
  modelling and analysis applications.
•  
• Salient features of STAAD Pro that are useful in
  Civil Engineering are
• 1. Easy to learn and reliable There are no
  manual calculations involved in this program and
  the results are robust and reliable. It is easy
  to learn to use STAAD Pro in a short time through
  a comprehensive interface.
• 2. User-friendly and stunning visuals The
  stunning visuals produced by STAAD Pro make it
  simpler for engineers to comprehend the results
  which they have obtained.

• 3. Easier to pre-empt problems Through advanced
  capabilities like dynamic analysis, finite
  element analysis (FEA), optimisation tools and
  more, civil engineers able to able to recognise
  potential problems in their designs and resolve
  them before building them in real life.
• 4. Realistic models The latest programming
  technology of STAAD Pro enables civil engineers
  to create exact 3D models of the required
  structure or building.
• 5. Works together with other compatible software
  programs STAAD Pro contains all essential tools
  that are required for designing a structure. It
  works in tandem with other software programs such
  as STAAD Pro offshore, STAAD Pro foundation and
  Ram to design offshore structures, foundations
  and steel structures. Other than creating designs
  for buildings, pipes shear walls etc. can also be
  designed. Designs from AutoCAD can also be
  imported. For AutoCAD training in Nagpur, contact
  us.

• 6. Detailed analysis of the structural strength
  A lot of various design codes are available which
  determine the depth, drift and deflection of any
  construct. It can also be used for calculating
  reinforcement for concrete columns, beams and
  shear walls. For seismic design, response
  spectrum, as well as static analysis, can be
  done.
• 7. Different template options possible For
  re-modelling purposes, pre-built models of
  various types of structures are available. New
  templates too can be added as and when required.
  Through VBA based macros that can be developed
  with open STAAD functions, it is possible to
  create your own templates and designs.
•  
• 8. Design for different loads possible
  Structures based on different kinds of load such
  as live load, dead load, wind load etc. can be
  designed. It is also possible to get the shear
  and moment values at every 1/12th section of the
  member.

• 9. Applicable across various countries There are
  options for international country codes in STAAD
  Pro and wind load, earthquake lead etc. can be
  generated as per the building code of a selected
  country. Also, reinforced concrete structures and
  steel structures can be designed according to the
  standards of a selected country.
