 One of the features of Teklastructure is its
capabilities to import or export to other program,
such as SACS, STAAD-Pro, SFrame, SDNF
…etc.

This document will describe step by step on

how Staad-pro analysis model imported inside
Teklastructure with ease. For some reason this
work could fasten the detailing work but in other
case, the detailer should check all orientations off
all steel members.

Lets go to the next step.

 First of all you must have the staad model that
will be imported by TS. It is recommended that the
staad model is already finish and all steel member
is properly designed and in term of stress ratio is
below 1.

Let say that you already have a staad model

as shown on the next page…

A simple small industrial 25x7 m2 and eave

height is 3m. The structure utilizing japanese hot
rolled section as follow …
As shown the structure have size of steel
as follow:
H150X7X5, H250X125X6, H300X150X6.5

 If you have done with the staad model. Now
you can open an empty fresh TS model…
Lets say that you already have a TS model
named Staad to TS…
