BASIC STEPS OF Staad Pro Software
Structural analysis and design are important points of view in civil engineering.
3D analysis of any kind of structure is not possible by manual calculation means while some structural design software like STAADPRO, ETAB, Midas gen, SAP2000 etc have made this process simple and quick process with more accurate results in Bentley staad pro.
Steps to follow for analysis and design of any structure in Staad Pro
