History of Staad Pro Software

STAAD stands for STructural Analysis And Design One of first commercial software in world STAAD-III for DOS non-graphical software REI & QSE merged Analysis engine + Interface = STAAD PRO for windows. Sharing capabilities with other major software like AutoCAD, and MS Excel Reports of the inputs and the outputs Concrete and steel design

A STRUCTURE CAN BE DEFINED AS AN ASSEMBLAGE OF ELEMENTS.

STAAD IS CAPABLE OF ANALYZING AND DESIGNING STRUCTURES CONSISTING OF BOTH FRAME, AND FINITE ELEMENTS. ALMOST ANY TYPE OF STRUCTURE CAN BE ANALYZED BY STAAD. FRAME ELEMENTS FINITE ELEMENTS BEAM ELEMENTS 2 NODES 1.) PLATE 3 OR 4 NODES 2.) SOLID 4 TO 8 NODES REMEMBER FOR STAAD NODE BECOMES JOINT BEAM BECOMES MEMBER PLATE BECOMES ELEMENT IT HAS A NUMBER AND XYZ CORDINATES IT HAS A NUMBER AND NODES AT ITS ENDS IT HAS A NUMBER AND NODE AT ITS CORNERS
