Automation with STAAD - P5: Analysis & Result Extraction || Multiple Analysis || Design input/output

In this video, I will focus on analysis and post-analysis result extraction from STAAD, how we can analyze multiple STAAD models sequentially and get a summary of analysis status, extract analysis and design result including design parameter set of any member or plate element present in the model. This data can be utilized for component design or report generation.
Automation is the use of technology to perform different task where we can minimize the human input. 3D analysis and design software STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition is equipped with an API library - OpenSTAAD using which we can automate different process and link any custom template/automation tool to STAAD. This helps us to minimize the modelling, analysis and design time and also help in data transfer process. In this video, I have discussed about few automation techniques related to modelling.

If you think a detail series on how to create a macro using OpenSTAAD functions will help you to understand the functionality, mention that in the comments.

Thanks for explaining automation, I got some ideas by watching this video!!!

[@DenisMcNelis]

Excellent series of videos.
I have learnt so much on how to implement Openstaad into my spreadsheets using VBA as the OpenSTAAD documentation is sometimes confusing. When I try to get to the user gallery from the link in the notes I get a "The page you are looking for could not be found." error. Hopefully this will be resolved soon as I would love to have a look at your implementation of a Sequential Silent Analysis spreadsheet.
Keep up the excellent work.

Hello sir how are you... how and where can i learn advance level staad pro. And open staad , with VBA FOR steel optimization

[@Dhruvpatel-ud1dx]

Hello Is there any openstaad module which extracts steel utilization ratio for all the parameters and can also extract governing load case of that utilization ratio.?

[@surojit_ghosh]

For AISC 360-16, yes you can extract design ratio from multiple blocks (GetMultipleMemberSteelDesignResults). For other design codes, ratio from the last block is extracted. Governing load case along with other critical information (clause, section, force) can be extracted using same OpenSTAAD function.

Sorry out of topic, can you explain how to add wave load in Staadpro ?

[@surojit_ghosh]

Previously, there was a module in STAAD known as STAAD Offshore using which we can generate wave load and apply that load in STAAD model. Now, this module has been discontinued. One alternative is to apply dynamic load (Time history) to simulate the wave load. Else, you need to use SACS which is a specialized program for this.
