STAAD.Pro
The following identifies the new features and enhancements that have been added in STAAD.Pro 2023. These features have been selected to allow STAAD.Pro to deliver a greater range of capabilities required by engineers around the world.
Improved Reports
An entirely new workflow for generating reports of STAAD.Pro models, analysis, and design has been added. More advanced formatting and filtering of report contents is now possible. Reports can also be quickly exported to PDF as well as Microsoft Office documents and spreadsheets.
Report formatting and contents can be saved as a re-usable template which can be reused for other models and shared with others in your organization.
New Section Database
A new section database format has been added which more readily supports the addition of custom shape databases.
Several country's databases are currently available for use in the new "standard" database format. Older shape databases are still supported as the "legacy" database format.
Enclosed Zone Loading
A new load type definition is available in STAAD.Pro. You can now define an enclosed area of members for applying a perpendicular area load. Openings in the enclosed zone can be added. Additionally, you can control which members within the enclosed zone contribute to load transfer or the formation of the zone boundary.
Export to ADINA
In the event that a structural model requires analysis capabilities that STAAD.Pro does not offer but are available in ADINA, you can now easily export your model to an ADINA IN file.
