BRANCH- CIVIL INTRODUCTION STAAD.PRO is a structural analysis and design program software
It is used for 3D model generation, analysis and multi-material design
STAAD.PRO was originally developed by research engineers international in
Yorba Linda, CA
The commercial version of STAAD.PRO supports several steel, concrete and
timber design codes How to create new project in STAAD?

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE OF STAAD PHASES OF ANALYSIS IN STAAD
1. PRE-PROCESSOR 2. PROCESSOR 3. POST-PROCESSOR
MAKE MODEL, DEFINE GETS RESULT AND APPLY
MATERIAL & PROPERTY, SOLUTION OF PROBLEM CODES ON STRUCTURE DEFINE LOAD & SUPPORT FEM- NUMERICAL METHOD USED IN STAAD
FEM stands for finite element method
Discretization Element equation k*@=F Where, k= stiffness matrix @=positional vector F=equivalent force Assembly Apply boundary equation Solve primary unknowns Plot region Model generation and analysis
Input geometry -nodes, beams, plates
Define properties, supports and loads
Specify analysis type and run analysis
Design
Verify the result
Assigning property There are 5 ways in which we can assign the property to a given structure:
1. Assign to view - by this the selected property gets assigned to the whole structure
2. Assigned by cursor
3. Assign to selected beams
4. Assignment by section database
5. Assignment by user table
Supports Supports are defined by the degree of freedom of any object
There are 6 DOF :
3 translational 3 rotational
There are three types of supports provided to a structure:
Fixed Pinned and Roller
Options are provided for fixed and pinned supports while
roller support can be created Assigning loads
A structure is generally subjected to these types of loads:
Dead load Live load Dead load includes self weight of the structure while live load includes superimposed load In addition to this, a structure is also subjected to wind and seismic forces which have to be defined along with various load cases After creating various load cases we have to assign them to the structure by selecting that part of the structure on which load has o be assigned In case of wind and seismic loads first the definitions needs to be provided and after the load cases should be entered Envelopes are made in advance designing which consist of various combinations Analysis SELECT Analyse ANALYSIS • Analysis of a structure means to find & PRINT the out the reactions, deflections at Click on RUN CLICK ON problem OPTION IN ANALYSE ANALYSIS ADD again various nodes of a structure PAGE after CONTROL printing • After analysis we can see shear TOOLBAR moment and deflection for each member • In the post processing mode, reaction, displacement , deflections, shear force, and bending moment diagram for various members can be viewed Design After analyzing the structure it has to be designed to carry loads acting on it
After designing the structure it is
again analysed and result of analysis for each beam and column is shown in output file Steps involved in designing a structure Select design in page control tool bar Then click on concrete if designing a concrete structure Select suitable codes ex- IS456 Commands Beam –add Column-add Takeoff- add Assign using suitable assignment methods Run analysis again Thankyou
