softwares for Place areas like reinforcedand pre stressed concrete slab design,
footing design, steel connection design, etc.6. A library of visible utilities called
Open STAAD which permits users to Right of entry
STAAD.Pro‟s internal tasks and practises as well as its
graphical instructions to tap into
STAAD‟s catalogue and link input and
output data to third-party software inscribedusing languages like C, C++, VBA,
FORTRAN, Java, etc. Thus, Open STAAD allowsusers to relation in-house or third-
party presentations with STAAD.Pro.

“Elements of your Structure”
. The Elements are given below:
Nodes
Members (beams and columns)
Nodes:
Stiffed Joint with 6 reactions. It is located at each end of the Beam and each corner
ofthe Plate Nodes considered the essence of the geometry of any structure in
STAAD.Pro.Each node holds the following informations:
Node Number.
Beam Number.
Plate Number.
Surface Number.
Graphics card and monitor with 1024×768 resolution, 256 color display (16 bithigh
color recommended).
Sufficient free space on the hard disk to hold the program and data files. Thedisk
space requirement will vary depending on the modules you are installing. Atypical
minimum is 500MB free space.
A multi-media ready system with sound card and speakers is needed to run
thetutorial movies and slide shows.

Space:
A SPACE structure, which is a three-dimensional framed structure withloads
applied in any plane, is the most general. The loading causes the structureto deform
in all 3 global axes.
Plane:
The type of geometry, loading and deformation are restricted to theglobal X-Y plane
only.
Floor:
The geometry of structure is kept at the X-Z plane.
Truss:
The structure transmits loading by pure axial action. Truss members areconsidered
to be in capable of carrying shear, bending and torsion.
4. Set the length units and loading units and click Next button.
Note:
The units can be altered later if needed, at any point of the model creation.
5. Now Where do you want to go? dialog box appears. You have specify the method
forbuilding
Add Beam:
Sets the program in the Snap Node/Beam dialog and snap grid toconstruct your
model by creating new joints and beams using the construction grid,drawing tools
and spreadsheets.
Add Plate:
Sets the program up with the Snap Node/Plate dialog to construct yourmodel by
creating new joints and 3-noded and 4-noded plate elements using theconstruction
grid, drawing tools and spreadsheets.
Add Solid:
Sets the program up with the Snap Node/Plate dialog toconstruct your model by
creating new joints and 8-noded solid/brick elements usingthe construction grid,
drawing tools and spreadsheets.
Open STAAD.Editor:
Allows you to build your model using STAAD syntaxcommands (non-graphical
interface) through the STAAD editor.
Pre Processor: Generates the model with all the data needed for the analysis.

As new grids are added or modified, the information is stored in the STAAD.Pro
datafolder with a GRD allowance that permits other STAAD.Pro file to re-use these
definedgrids. To alter the starting of this grid, click on the
Edit
button to show the existing gridproperties.
The current plane of the grid is set by selecting the required option. This can
rotatedabout one of the global planes by selecting the axis of rotation and setting the
angle.
The origin of the grid is marked on the graphics, with a small circle. The location of
theorigin, specified in global coordinates, can either be defined explicitly in the
given X.Yand Z coordinates, or it can be set to the coordinates of an existing node
by clicking onthe icon and then on the node itself in the graphical window. Note that
at this point theorigin coordinate is updated.
The construction lines are used to specify how many gridlines are created either side
ofthe origin, the spacing between the gridlines and if there should be a skew in
degreesalong either axis.
