If I model and analyze my structure in STAAD.Pro and design my foundation in Staad Foundation Advance ( SFA ) and subsequently my STAAD.Pro model changes, will the SFA model get updated automatically ?
Yes it will. For that you have to ensure that the SFA model is created from within the Foundation Design interface from inside STAAD.Pro to begin with. That way the association between the STAAD.Pro model and the SFA file is automatically established. Subsequently when the STAAD.Pro model is modified, one just needs to relaunch SFA from within the modified STAAD.Pro model file and the update is automatically taken care of.
Alternately if the original SFA model was created from outside of STAAD.Pro by choosing the option Import STAAD.Pro from within the SFA interface, one has to click the Update button for the subsequent changes in the STAAD.Pro model to be read into SFA.
The former method is recommended compared to the later.
