STAAD.Pro addresses all the production
needs of the structural engineering office. STAAD.Pro
core facilities include model generation, static,
dynamic, p-delta and non-linear analyses and steel,
concrete and timber design. STAAD.Pro
supports over 40 international and domestic design codes
for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum and cold-formed
steel. Everything from designing small frames and trusses
to nuclear power plants to skyscrapers can be done using
STAAD.Pro .
