OS. Macros Included with STAAD.Pro
Several macros are installed with the program.
These Visual Basic files are installed in C:\Program Files\Bentley\Engineering\STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition\STAAD\PlugIns\VBS by default.
| File name | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Material.vbs | Reads entries in the file MaterialSpreadsheet.csv and displays a list of the material/grade names. Users can add the selection as a material definition to the model. |
| EuroCombinations.vbs | Used to add combinations with load factors per the Eurocode to the model. |
| ObjectIDs.vbs | Generates a table that displays GUIDs of nodes, members, and physical members. |
| ObjectUpdateReport.vbs | This macro can be used to create two Object ID reports, one capturing the situation before the STAAD model went through the CIS/2 Update tool and one post-update. By comparing the two reports, you can find out which entities are newly introduced due update workflow and if this is the intended result (i.e., should those be new or should have retained the original GUID, but got changed due to a workflow problem/bug, etc.). |
| STAAD2SACS.vbs | Used to export the model data to a Bentley SACS model. |
| ToAutoPipePub.vbs | Used to export the model data to a Bentley AutoPIPE model. |
