STAAD or Bentley STAAD PRO is a professional 3d Structural analysis and design application for designing for steel, concrete, Timber, Aluminum and cold-formed steel design of high or low rise buildings, culverts, plants, tunnels, stadiums, bridges and much more.
STAAD is one of the most used structural and design program for architect and civil engineers. Bentley Staad pro is structural analysis software which supports total over 90 international material codes. In addition, it doesn’t matter which country you are or which materiel you are using in, Staad Pro can easily detect and load accordingly codes requirements.
Bentley Staad pro was originally created by Research Engineers international in 1997. In 2005 it was acquired by Bentley Systems. Staad pro V8i ss6 is the latest version of the software.
