STAAD.Pro is a general purpose structural analysis and design program with applications primarily in the building industry - commercial buildings, bridges and highway structures, industrial structures, chemical plant structures, dams, retaining walls, turbine foundations, culverts and other embedded structures. If you are new to STAAD.Pro, you can use these resources to start creating structural model geometry in STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition.
STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition Overview
STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition provides two main workflows for creating model geometry, both of which are included in these resources:
- STAAD.Pro Analytical Modeler: Used to model your structure using analytical elements. The analytical model is a finite element model of the structure which is typically processed directly by the analysis and design engine.
- STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler: Used to model your structure using physical elements. The physical model is used to draw structural elements as they are physically constructed. The program will then decompose this into an analytical model which is passed to the STAAD.Pro analysis and design engine.
