EXP NO 1 : INTRODUCTION TO STAAD PRO.
Aim:
To study the introduction of STAAD PRO.
Overview:
STAAD or (STAAD Pro) is a structural analysis and design computer program originally developed by
Research Engineers International in Yorba Linda, CA. In late 2005, Research Engineer International was
bought by Bentley Systems. The commercial version STAAD Pro is one of the most widely used structural
analysis and design software. It supports several steel, concrete and timber design codes. It can make use of
various forms of analysis from the traditional 1st order static analysis, 2nd order p-delta analysis, geometric
nonlinear analysis or a buckling analysis. It can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis from
modal extraction to time history and response spectrum analysis.
Advantages:
1. Easy to use interface,

2. Conformation with the Indian Standard Codes,
3. Versatile nature of solving any type of problem,
4. Accuracy of the solution.
STAAD Pro features a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines
with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to
visualization and result verification, STAAD Pro is the professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber,
aluminum and cold-formed steel design of low and high-rise buildings, culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels,
bridges, piles and much more.
Starting STAAD Pro

There are two possible ways to start STAAD Pro:
3
1. Go to Start/All Programs/STAAD.Pro.
2. Double-click the shortcut on the Windows Desktop.
The Opening Screen

Either way you will see the following screen (this screen will pop-up each and every time you close a file.
Under Project Tasks you can:

1. Create New file
2. Open an existing file
3. Configure STAAD Pro for the next input file
4. Configure the Backup Manager.
Creating new file

To create a new file use one of the following methods:
1. Under Project Tasks, click New Project
2. From menus select File/New, or click the New Structure button in the File toolbar. The following
dialog box will be displayed.
4
File Name
Specify the name of the new file (no need to type .STD, STAAD will do that for you); file names in STAAD
Pro can take long filenames.
Location
Specify where you will save this file in your local hard drives, or any network hard drive, and then specify the
folder name (subdirectory) (example C:\SProV8i SS5\ STAAD\Examp), To change these settings, simply click
the three dots button, and the following dialog will appear:
Type of Structure
STAAD Pro provides 4 different structure types.
1. Space: Three-dimensional framed structure with loads applied in any plane (The most general).
2. Plane: Two-dimensional structure framed in the X-Y plane with loads in the same plane.
3. Floor: Two, or three-dimensional structure having no horizontal (global X or Z) movement of the
structure (FX, FZ & MY, are restrained at every joint).
4. Truss: Any structure consists of truss members only, which can have only axial member forces and no
bending in the members.
Length, and Force Units
5
When you install the software at your hard drive, the installation software will ask you to specify what is your
default unit system, English (ft, inch, kips) or Metric (m, mm, KN). For this courseware we chose Metric,
hence the default Length and Force Units are Meter, and Kilo Newton respectively.
5. This will be to-start-withunits, and not the only units you can use while you are creating the input file.
As a user you have the ability to change the units at any point to whatever desired units (STAAD
internally will make the necessary conversion).
6. When you are done click Nextin order to proceed. The following dialog box will be displayed:
7. The only purpose of this dialog box is to ask the user what is the first step to be done in creating the
input file.
8. To finish creating a file in STAAD Pro, click Finish.
STAAD Pro Screen
6
Notes on Page Control & Data Area
9. Page Control is another way (after menus, and toolbars) to execute commands in STAAD Pro.
10. Page Controls are:
11. The tabs that appear at the left of the main window.
12. Each Page Control has its own sub-pages.
13. Each Page Control has its own function,
Exiting STAAD Pro

To exit STAAD Pro select File/Exit and STAAD Pro will close the current file, and exit the software. The only
difference between closing a file and exiting STAAD Pro is the closing of the software, and the rest is the same.
Saving and Saving As
7
1. To save the current file, you can select File/Save, or click the Save button in the File toolbar
2. To save the current file under a new name, simply select File/Save As, a dialog box will be displayed.
3. First select the desired drive, and folder. Then, type in the file name, leave the file type to be STAAD
Space File (*.std), click Save.
Result:
Thus the introduction about STAAD Pro is studied successfully.
