STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler uses the "Ad Hoc" method for design review. This means a team level review focused on design review and approval work in progress. The iTwin Design Review Ad Hoc Workflow enables quick peer reviews of design work-in-progress deliverables while eliminating the inefficiency of traditional design review workflows and provides a great opportunity for collaboration with team members.
