Major enhancements to the design modules include, a new ASME NF 3000:2001 design code with options to set service levels in all the ASME NF codes. Loading options have been enhanced with the addition of a load combination generator to Eurocode 0 again using OpenSTAAD and automatic calculation of self-weight loading can be specified for a named group of Surface entities. Seismic analysis can make use of a new ‘mass’ reference load case to reduce duplication of mass definitions. Wind loading can be generated to ASCE 07-10. A range of the most commonly used foundations designed using STAAD.Foundation are now supported with the STAAD.Pro license. Additionally models can be exported to the specialist offshore application SACS using a new OpenSTAAD macro. This latest version provides enhanced integration opportunities with the other structural applications using the ISM integration module of StrucLink. STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTseries 4 introduces the latest enhancements in the analysis and design engine.
