Overview
Design any type of structure and share your synchronized model data with confidence among your
entire design team, using STAAD.Pro. Ensure on time and on budget completion of your steel,
concrete, timber, aluminum, and cold-formed steel projects, regardless of complexity. You can
confidently design structures anywhere in the world using over 80 international codes, reducing
your team’s need to learn multiple software applications.
In recent years it has become part of integrated structural analysis and design solutions mainly
using an exposed API called OpenSTAAD to access and drive the program using an VB macro system
included in the application or other by including OpenSTAAD functionality in applications that
themselves include suitable programmable macro systems. Additionally STAAD.Pro has added direct
links to applications such as RAM Connection and STAAD.Foundation to provide engineers working
with those applications which handle design post processing not handled by STAAD.Pro itself.
Another form of integration supported by STAAD.Pro is the analysis schema of the CIMsteel
Integration Standard, version 2 commonly known as CIS/2 and used by a number modelling and
analysis applications.
