STAAD.Pro uses finite element analysis (FEA) to model the behavior of structures under various loads. FEA is a computational method that divides a structure into a large number of small elements, and then calculates the forces and stresses in each element. This information can then be used to assess the safety and serviceability of the structure.

STAAD.Pro can be used to analyze a wide range of load types, including static loads, dynamic loads, wind loads, earthquake loads, and thermal loads. It can also be used to analyze a wide range of structural materials, including steel, concrete, timber, and aluminum.

STAAD.Pro is a powerful tool that can be used to design safe and efficient structures. It is a valuable tool for structural engineers, architects, and other professionals who are involved in the design and construction of structures.

Here are some of the key features of STAAD.Pro:

• • Finite element analysis (FEA) engine: STAAD.Pro’s FEA engine is one of the most powerful and robust in the industry. It can be used to analyze a wide range of structures and load types.

  • Comprehensive material library: STAAD.Pro has a comprehensive material library that includes properties for a wide range of steel, concrete, timber, and aluminum materials.
