STAAD.Pro Features

How STAAD.Pro and STAAD.Pro Advanced support structural analysis and design workflows.

STAAD.Pro modelling interface with a steel frame model and the node spreadsheet

Build analytical models fast

Build analytical models with structural grids, frame generators and the structure wizard. Switch between wireframe and rendered views, and edit inputs with IntelliSense. Generate meshes from zones or DXF files, then define seismic, wind and snow loads.

Beams, plates and supports modelled in STAAD.Pro

Model any structure

Model linear, curved and physical beams alongside plates, surfaces and solid elements. Define foundation and spring supports, nodal dependencies and floor diaphragms. Use loading panels and reference lines to complete your structural model.

STAAD.Pro post-processing view with contoured plate stress results

Every analysis method you need

Run elastic, P-Delta and dynamic analyses, including time history and response spectrum methods. Account for geometric imperfections and use direct analysis to AISC 360. STAAD.Pro Advanced adds eigen buckling and geometric nonlinear analysis; cloud analysis runs on Bentley servers.

Design code selection in STAAD.Pro

Design to 50 international codes

Inspect results through linked tables, stress plots and mode-shape animations, and check steel designs against 50 international codes. Steel Autodrafter requires a subscription; integrated concrete design and detailing require STAAD.Pro Advanced, Structural WorkSuite or STAAD Advanced Concrete Design.

STAAD.Pro Case Studies

Two Bentley case studies where STAAD carried the structural analysis and design.

Aerial render of the Caiziba Pumped-Storage Power Station reservoir and dam in Fengjie County, Chongqing

Pumped-storage power station in karst terrain

SIDRI

Challenge

A CNY 8.4 billion pumped-storage station in Chongqing's karst region, with caves, fissures and underground rivers beneath the site. The team needed one platform to tie geological data, structural design and construction planning together.

Results

  • ●STAAD structural analysis and design of key station components
  • ●1,850 design conflicts resolved in 3D reviews, CNY 4.5 million of rework avoided
  • ●Construction period cut by 42 days across the Bentley toolset

Pipe racks and process plant at the MCC CERI hydrogen metallurgy facility in Zhangjiakou, Hebei

First hydrogen metallurgy engineering facility

MCC CERI

Challenge

A first-of-its-kind plant in Zhangjiakou with a 120-metre shaft furnace that must carry heavy loads at extreme temperatures, delivered by 29 design disciplines on a small site and a tight timeframe.

Results

  • ●Shaft furnace designed in STAAD.Pro, ProStructures and ProConcrete
  • ●29 disciplines coordinated in one ProjectWise data environment
  • ●Construction period shortened by a third, completed in two years, per Bentley

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bimeco an authorized Bentley partner?

Yes. Bimeco is an authorized Bentley channel partner in Singapore. We quote and invoice in SGD with payment terms of up to 30 days, and our digital delivery consultants support adoption and implementation of Bentley software.

How is STAAD.Pro licensed, and what does the price include?

The standard option is a 12-month Virtuoso subscription for one named user. The 1-year price is SGD 7,051 and a 3-year subscription is SGD 21,153. Each subscription includes Keys you can redeem for Bentley training or services: 2 with STAAD.Pro and STAAD.Pro Advanced, 3 with Structural WorkSuite. Perpetual licences with a SELECT subscription and Cloud Services Subscription for occasional use are quoted on request.

What is the difference between STAAD.Pro, STAAD.Pro Advanced and Structural WorkSuite?

STAAD.Pro covers linear, P-Delta, iterative buckling and dynamic analysis with steel design and concrete design checks. STAAD.Pro Advanced adds nonlinear geometric and cable analysis, eigen buckling, floor spectrum analysis, and integrated concrete design with detailing and drawings. Structural WorkSuite bundles STAAD.Pro Advanced with STAAD Foundation Advanced, RAM Structural System, Bentley Analytical Cloud Services and ADINA in one licence.

What do I get from Bimeco that I do not get buying direct?

The licence itself is identical. Through Bimeco you get an SGD quotation and invoice with payment terms of up to 30 days, licence and first-model setup with your team, support from structural BIM practitioners in Singapore working hours, and SkillsFuture BIM courses through Ace Industrial Academy.

Which design codes and analysis methods does STAAD.Pro support?

50 steel design codes from around the world plus concrete codes covering US, European, Indian, Chinese and Japanese standards, in current and historical versions. Analysis covers first-order elastic, large and small P-Delta, direct analysis to AISC 360, iterative buckling, and dynamic modal analysis with response spectrum and time history. Eigen buckling and geometric nonlinear analysis need STAAD.Pro Advanced.

Does STAAD.Pro work with Revit, Tekla and my CAD files?

Yes. iTwin Analytical Synchronizer brings STAAD models into BIM workflows with Revit, Tekla, ProStructures and OpenBuildings Designer. CAD models in DXF files serve as the base wire frame or mesh outline, CIS/2 exchanges data with other steel packages, and ProjectWise manages the models across the project team.

How does STAAD.Pro compare to ETABS?

STAAD.Pro is a general structural analysis and design application for any structure type, with 50 steel codes, links to Bentley and Autodesk tools, and a quality programme approved for nuclear work. ETABS is CSI's building-focused package. Send us your project mix and we will compare the two against it.
