Additional Information


Bentley Structural integrates seamlessly with STAAD.Pro. You can create a structural model in Bentley Structural, export it to STAAD.Pro for structural analysis, then re-import the result into the Bentley Structural model for true "round-tripping" of structural information! Watch the video.


You can also start the structural design process in STAAD.Pro, then import the model into Bentley Structural for further modeling, creation of construction documents, quantity takeoff, visualization, clash detection, and more. Watch the video.

Bentley Structural has the most comprehensive list of powerful features that empower structural engineers and designers to create with unlimited freedom, to explore more engineering options, to make better informed design decisions, and to predict costs and performance.

Features include:

  • Structural design and construction documentation for structures in steel, concrete, and timber
  • Integrated analytical model with finite elements, nodes, boundary conditions and member releases, loads and load combinations
  • Parametric, dimension-driven creation and modification of structural components
  • Automatic user-definable cutbacks and coping of intersecting members
  • Plans, framing layouts, sections, and elevations created with extraction rules for resymbolization and member annotation
  • Quantity takeoffs, member schedules, volume and weight analyses, center of gravity, and other reports
  • Support of DGN, DWG, DXF, PDF, STEP, IGES, IFC 2x, and other major industry standards
  • Seamless integration with Bentley’s STAAD.Pro and RAM International products as well as other leading structural analysis applications
  • Fully supported in Bentley ProjectWise, Bentley’s comprehensive collaboration server
