STAAD Fundamentals

A practical introduction to structural modelling, analysis and code-based design in STAAD. Participants build and analyze real structure types — frames, trusses and industrial support structures — rather than working through abstract examples.

Audience: Structural and civil engineers new to STAAD, or moving from other analysis tools.
