STAAD.Pro 2006, the newest version of Bentley’s leading general-purpose structural analysis and design solution, is quickly gaining certification for use by multinational and domestic design firms in countries around the world. It was just approved for use with Russia’s design codes by the Russian Committee of Standards, and is one of the few software programs to receive this certification. Last year, STAAD.Pro 2006 was certified by the Building Steel Structure Committee of China Building Metal Structure Association (CBMSA) in Beijing, an academic and government institute. In total, the new release currently supports 70 international and loading codes around the globe.
Recently, STAAD.Pro was used to design the Lithuanian Ethno-Cosmology Museum in Ciulenai, Lithuania, using the Russian design codes. For more detailed information on the museum, visit this site. In addition, the Civil Engineering Consultation Bureau (BKB), an engineering firm in Latvia, used STAAD.Pro to design a 22,750-square-meter hockey stadium in Latvia, Arena Riga.
STAAD.Pro facilitates the design of steel, concrete, timber, and aluminum structures for buildings, plants, tunnels, bridges, and more. It offers a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, and advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities for multi-material design.
STAAD.Pro 2006 features new nonlinear, seismic and dynamic analysis tools, along with enhanced interoperability that advances the integration of design and analysis across the structural workflow. For example, the new software is integrated with Bentley’s broad structural portfolio, including other STAAD and RAM products, pipe stress, concrete detailing, and Bentley’s BIM solutions, enabling engineers to streamline their workflow for various structural solutions.
Among the Bentley BIM solutions available to structural engineers is Bentley Structural for building design and documentation of structural systems for buildings and industrial plants in steel, concrete, and timber. Work can be done in either STAAD.Pro 2006 or Bentley Structural and changes are automatically reflected in both, allowing integration among analysis, design, and documentation in a BIM solution.
