Course Details

Overview:

STAAD.Pro is a STructural Analysis And Design engine software based on the finite element method. It is capable of analyzing and designing all engineering structures in steel, concrete, timber, aluminium, and cold-formed steel, such as buildings, bridges, towers, transportation, industrial and utility structures.

Duration: 4 Days

With user friendly GUI and support various design codes of many countries, help structural engineers to automate their tasks and to remove the tedious and long procedures of the manual methods.

Why should you learn?

STAAD.Pro comes with flexible modeling environment, advanced features, and fluent data collaboration. It is the world’s number one structural analysis and design software that supports Indian and all international codes.

STAAD.Pro allows structural engineers to analyze and design virtually any type of structure. Structural engineering firms, structural consultants, departments in construction companies, owner/operators, and government agencies, and offshore platform designers’ use this software extensively.

Learning Objectives:

CADD Centre’s STAAD.Pro training covers all the steps involved in structural analysis and design of concrete and steel.

We introduce you to STAAD.Pro’s state of the art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element (FEM) and dynamic analysis capabilities.

Some of the features that we focus in training include:

Model Generation

Interactive menu-driven model generation with simultaneous 3D display 2Dand 3D graphic generation using rectangular or polar coordinate systems Segments of repetitive geometry used to generate complex structural models

Model Verification

2D/3D drawings on screen as well as on plotter/printer Full 3D shapes for frames, elements Isometric or any rotations for full 3D viewing

Static Analysis

2D/3D analysis based on state-of-the-art Matrix method to handle extremely large job. Linear, p-delta analysis, non-linear analysis with automatic load and stiffness correction.

Dynamic/Seismic Analysis

Mass modeling, extraction of frequency and mode shapes Response spectrum, time history analysis Modal damping ratio for individual models

Secondary Analysis

Finite element capabilities, steel design, concrete design, and timber design. Forces and displacements at sections between nodes. Maximum and minimum force envelopes.
