Introduction of Staad Pro

STAAD is the abbreviation for Structural Analysis and Design Program. STAAD.Pro is one of the popular software packages that is used for analysing and designing structures like buildings, towers, bridges, industrial and utility structures. STAAD.Pro Connect Edition includes a new Physical Modeling Workflow that enables designers to quickly and accurately model structural elements (such as girders, multi-story columns, and slabs/walls) as they will be physically constructed.

 

Scope of Course Staad Pro

The course teaches you how to use STAAD.Pro Connect Edition for all types of structural analysis of a building. You will also learn to use the software to design structures for bridges, towers, buildings, transportation, industrial and utility structures. You will be well versed in tasks such as performing structural analysis and design of a RCC building, designing beams and columns, and other types of analysis.
