STAAD PRO 2004 SOFTWARESTAAD is a comprehensive structural engineering
software that addresses all aspects of structuralengineering – analysis, design, verification, andvisualization.
STAAD performs the analysis and design of thestructure for different types of structures, such astrusses, plane, space (3D), floors (2 D plane and butloads are vertical or out of that plane).

STAAD TutorialsGiving demonstration for how to use the software by
showing only the basic steps for static analysis.
As STAAD has two main methods of modeling (input editor (script language) and/or through graphicalenvironment). Tutorials will show only graphical methods.
Further readings and more information about the program can be found through the internet.For example www.reiworld.com

TUTORIAL NO.1: STEEL TRUSS
The figure above shows a steel truss from several trusses supposed to cover a certain area. As shown, the truss has a cantilever part its span equals 4.0m. The proposed truss depth is3.0m.The loads as shown, are concentrated at the truss joints. The values of its load case are shown. Use all the data you take in the Steel Course for analysis and design.

Main Steps of Modeling
Entering job information.Building model geometry.Defining member properties, sections.Assigning loads (load cases, combinations..)Defining pre-analysis print out, analysis type,
and post-analysis printout.Defining design requirements.

2. Building Model (Structure) GeometryHow to Define the Truss Geometry?One of the methods that you can create construction lines and then draw on these lines the truss members.
Noting that the number ofconstruction lines is excluding first line.

How to see the Diagram Labels (ex. Node numbers, beam numbers, etc.?

Node and beam labels are a way of identifying the entities we have drawn on the screen, and very useful when dealing with the output results.

Property:In which we can define or choose sections properties of the members of the truss.Spec.:In which we can define or choose members’specifications.Support:In which we can define the supports properties (restraints).Load:In which we can define the applied loads, load cases, load combinations.MaterialIn which we can define the material properties.(ex. E, density, etc.)
3. Defining member properties, sections

Supports
By clicking on the support
icon the shown window will
appear.
We have to create new
kinds of supports.

4. Defining Loads
The creation and assignment of load cases involves the following two steps:1. First, we will be creating all 3-load cases.2. Then, we will be assigning them to the respective members/nodes.

Also, we can define load combinations according to required. For example, we can create a load combination1.25 D.L. + 1.5 L.L + 0.8 W.L.
