STAAD Pro features a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to visualization and result verification, STAAD Pro is the professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber. STAAD.Pro Trainer’s Manual Page 2 Model Generation (nodes and members) Approach: Explain a simple plane frame model with all the necessary dimensions. Motivate the students to find the coordinates of the joints / nodes. Explain the steps to create the same model in STAAD.Pro. O Create the joints in STAAD.Pro. And moving loads. Is the premier FEM analysis and design tool for any type of project including towers, culverts, plants, bridges, stadiums, and marine structures. Has the power to analyze and design the most complex of structural models. Clear Start Page and new structure wizard allows user configuration.
