Can I get STAAD.Pro to report the torsion stress ?
STAAD.Pro does not report stress due to Torsion but here are a couple of items which you may find useful.
The beam end forces table that you can get from Postprocessing mode Beam > Forces page, reports the torsion ( MX ) in a beam member.
STAAD is also able to account for stresses due to torsion during the design phase. In steel design for example, the torsion stresses are converted to normal and shear stresses and added to existing normal/shear stresses following guidelines laid out in AISC Design Guide 9. When it comes to the new AISC 360-10 code, currently the software can account for the torsion for HSS sections only although work is under progress to account for torsion for Non-HSS sections too and this should be available in a couple of months.
