STAAD.

Pro

STAAD.Pro is a general purpose program for performing the analysis and design of a wide variety of
types of structures. The basic three activities which are to be carried out to achieve that goal - a)
model generation b) the calculations to obtain the analytical results c) result verification

are all facilitated by tools contained in the program's graphical environment. This manual
contains tutorials which guide you through the steps required to create, analyze, process, and
generate reports for each example
