WHAT IS STAAD.PRO?
STAAD is a popular structural analysis application known for analysis, diverse applications of use, interoperability, and time-saving capabilities. 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 make sure that the structural design complies with local regulations.
WHAT IS STAAD.PRO ADVANCED?
STAAD.Pro Advanced includes all the modeling, analysis, design and interoperability capabilities of STAAD.Pro, but layers on more advanced analysis, as well as reinforced concrete design and detailing features.
- Nonlinear geometric and cable analysis
- Eigen buckling analysis
- Floor spectrum analysis due to time history loading (seismic design)
- Steady state dynamic performance for vibration design
- Pushover analysis
- Design and detailing of reinforced concrete beams, columns, footings, pile caps, walls, and slabs
- Design reports, material takeoffs, and bill of quantity
- Automated reinforcing drawings, details, and schedules, with customizable settings

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
STAAD is a comprehensive structural finite element analysis and design application that allow users to perform analysis on any structure exposed to static, dynamic, wind, earthquake, thermal, and moving loads.
Structural engineers must make a variety of difficult decisions every day. To help them perform this advanced work, structural engineers rely on dedicated structural engineering software. This software helps automate extremely time-consuming processes for the structural engineer, including building a digital model, studying the forces acting on the structure, solving the equations and mathematics that predict the structure’s behavior; and ensuring all elements and systems in the structure and have adequate strength and stiffness.
Further, it is important to choose software that will help structural engineers conform to regulatory codes and ensure safety. Structural engineering software helps users save time and ensure accuracy, which is vital when dealing with structure stability and strength.

Processor
Intel Pentium or AMD processor 2.0 GHz or greater
Operating System
Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 or 7 32 or 64 bit OS
Memory
1 GB minimum, 2 GB recommended. Additional memory potentially improves performance, particularly when working with larger models. 4 GB or more can help speed up solutions for very large complex models with large numbers of load cases.
Disk Space
Requirements will vary depending on the modules you are installing. A typical minimum is 500 MB free space.
Display
Graphics card and monitor with 1280×1024 resolution, 256 color display (16-bit high color recommended.) A sound card and speakers are needed for the tutorial movies and slide shows.
