OVERVIEW
STAAD stands for Structural 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.
WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN
STAAD.Pro comes with a 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.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Model Generation
Interactive menu-driven model generation with simultaneous 3D
display 2Dand 3D graphic generation using rectangular or polar
coordinate systems Segments of repetitive geometry used to generate
complex structural models.
- Model Verification
2D/3D drawings on screen as well as on plotter/printer Full 3D shapes for
frames, elements Isometric or any rotations for full 3D viewing.
- Static Analysis
2D/3D analysis based on state-of-the-art Matrix methods to handle
extremely large jobs. Linear, p-delta analysis, non-linear analysis with
automatic load and stiffness correction.
- Dynamic/Seismic Analysis
Mass modeling, extraction of frequency and mode shapes Response
spectrum, time history analysis, modal damping ratio for individual
models.
- Secondary Analysis
Forces and displacements at sections between nodes. Maximum and
minimum force envelopes.
