RELEASE 2006, Build 1005 © 2006 Bentley Systems, Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Published July, 2007.About STAAD.ProSTAAD.Pro is a general purpose structural analysis and design program withapplications primarily in the building industry - commercial buildings, bridges andhighway structures, industrial structures, chemical plant structures, dams, retainingwalls, turbine foundations, culverts and other embedded structures, etc. The programhence consists of the following facilities to enable this task.1. Graphical model generation utilities as well as text editor based commands for creating the mathematical model.
Beam and column members are represented using lines. Walls, slabs and panel type entities are represented using triangular and quadrilateral finite elements. Solid blocks are represented using brick elements. These utilities allow the user to create the geometry, assign properties, orient cross sections as desired, assign materials like steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, specify supports, apply loads explicitly as well as have the program generate loads, design parameters etc.2.
Analysis engines for performing linear elastic and pdelta analysis, finite element analysis, frequency extraction, and dynamic response (spectrum, time history, steady state, etc.).3. Design engines for code checking and optimization of steel, aluminum and timber members.
Reinforcement calculations for concrete beams, columns, slabs and shear walls. Design of shear and moment connections for steel members.4. Result viewing, result verification and report generation tools for examining displacement diagrams, bending moment and shear force diagrams, beam, plate and solid stress contours, etc.5. Peripheral tools for activities like import and export of data from and to other widely accepted formats, links with other popular softwares for niche areas like reinforced and prestressed concrete slab design, footing design, steel connection design, etc.6. A library of exposed functions called OpenSTAAD which allows users to access STAAD.Pro’s internal functions and routines as well as its graphical commands to tap into STAAD’s database and link input and output data to third-party software written using languages like C, C, VB, VBA, FORTRAN, Java, Delphi, etc. Thus, OpenSTAAD allows users to link in-house or third-party applications with STAAD.Pro.About the STAAD.Pro DocumentationThe documentation for STAAD.Pro consists of a set of manuals as described below.These manuals are normally provided only in the electronic format, with perhaps someexceptions such as the Getting Started Manual which may be supplied as a printed bookto first time and new-version buyers.All the manuals can be accessed from the Help facilities of STAAD.Pro.

This manual is intended to guide users who are new to this software as well as experienced users who want specific information on the basics of using the program. Part-I of this manual describes the following:.
Hardware Requirements. Contents of the STAAD.Pro CD. Installation. Copy Protection Device. Running STAAD.Pro Part II of this manual contains tutorials on using STAAD.Pro. The tutorials guide a user through the processes of:. Creating a structural model.
This consists of generating the structural geometry, specifying member properties, material constants, loads, analysis and design specifications, etc. Visualization and verification of the model geometry. Running the STAAD analysis engine to perform analysis and design. Verification of results - graphically and numerically. Report generation and printing. Inter-operability. In other words, using STAAD.Pro in conjunction with other programs created by REI, such as STAAD.etc.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up2 2.
Hardware Requirements The following requirements are suggested minimums. Systems with increased capacity provide enhanced performance. PC with Intel-Pentium or equivalent. Graphics card and monitor with 1024x768 resolution, 256 color display (16 bit high color recommended). 128 MB RAM or higher.
Windows NT 4.0 or higher operating system. Windows 95, Windows 98 & Windows Me are no longer supported. The program works best on Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. Sufficient free space on the hard disk to hold the program and data files. The disk space requirement will vary depending on the modules you are installing. A typical minimum is 500MB free space.
A multi-media ready system with sound card and speakers is needed to run the tutorial movies and slide shows. Note: Additional RAM, disk space, and video memory will enhance the performance of STAAD.Pro. Starting with STAAD.Pro Version 2001, the size of structures that the program can handle has been increased significantly.
As a result of this, the minimum amount of physical + virtual memory required by the program also has increased to over 600MB. Users may need to ensure that adequate amounts of virtual memory are available, and in Windows NT and 2000 systems, parameters such as paging file sizes should be large enough or span over multiple drives if the free space on any one drive runs low. Another issue to keep in mind is the location of the “TEMP” parameter as in the “SET TEMP” environment variable in Windows NT and 2000 systems. While performing calculations, depending on the structure size, the program may create gigantic scratch files which are placed in the folder location associated with.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 3 the “TEMP” parameter. Users may wish to point the “SET TEMP” variable to a folder on a drive that has disk space sufficiently large to accommodate the requirements for large size structures.
Note: The user must have a basic familiarity with Microsoft Windows systems in order to use the software.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up4 3. Contents of the STAAD.Pro CD Typically, a startup screen appears when the CD is placed in the drive. If it does not, you may initiate it by running SPROCD.EXE located at the root folder of the CD (This can be done by clicking on the file named SPROCD.EXE from Windows Explorer).

If it does not, you may initiate it by running SPROCD.EXE located at the root folder of the CD (This can be done by clicking on the file named SPROCD.EXE from Windows Explorer). For an explanation of the different facilities offered by the SPROCD program, please refer to the previous section.
Note: In Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP systems, you have to log in with administrative rights before commencing installation. To commence installation, select the option named Install STAAD Structural Suite. Standard installation procedure available with any software running on Microsoft Windows is followed and hence is self-explanatory.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 7 Users installing the commercial version of the program will encounter the following screen.
Figure 2: Customer Information & Serial Number If an older version of STAAD.Pro has already been installed in the machine, the serial number information will show up automatically in this dialog box. If STAAD.Pro is being installed for the first time in the machine, the Serial number box will be blank. In that case, enter the serial number provided in the CD case. If you are under Bentley Select Contract, you will be asked to confirm that you will be using a Bentley SELECT License by checking the box titled ‘I am under Bentley Select Contract’. This will provide the serial number that is required for this method of security only.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up8 When this box is checked, the following confirmation message box will be displayed.
Figure 2a: Customer Information One of the initial screens you will encounter is the one shown in Figure 3. It pertains to the type of software security system that you purchased with STAAD.Pro. SELECT XM system refers to Bentley’s SELECT Server based licensing system.A Local Security generally refers to a hardware lock, which is an adapter- like device that is placed on the parallel or USB port of your computer. It could also be a software based system (instead of a hardlock), in which case, it will be a software license which binds STAAD.Pro to the specific computer you are installing it on.
Network Security refers to a system that supports simultaneous multiple-user access. A separate instruction document containing the steps for network installations is provided to users who have opted for this latter type. Please refer to the file 'Quickstart.pdf' located in the CD for further description of these systems.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 9 Figure 3: Selection of security system type If you have purchased SELECT XM license for the products, please refer to Quick Start & Troubleshooting Guide to understand how to install and configure SELECT XM licenses. If you do not have SELECT XM license information, you can still choose the “SELECT XM License” option during installation. The program will run in Trial Mode for 15 days. You should complete the SELECT XM License configuration within that period.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up10 If you choose Local Security, you are asked to select the type of hardware lock supplied to you, or the software license if that is applicable.
The name of the lock is engraved on the cover of the lock. Make sure the type of lock you choose from Figure 4 matches that name. This is absolutely necessary to ensure that the program functions to its full capacity. Please note that if you do not have a license for STAAD.etc, Sectionwizard and/or STAAD.foundation, they will work only in the Demonstration mode. Figure 4: Selection of Local Security type.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 11 You may install the program in any folder of your choice. A default folder name is supplied to you. Figure 5: Selection of the Installation Folder.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up12 The next dialog box seeks confirmation from you as to whether you wish to install all the programs shown in the list.

Advanced Mesher is a standalone program for generating finite element meshes for panel type entities like walls and slabs and is available for those who want advanced meshing facilities besides those which are built into the STAAD.Pro software. OpenSTAAD is a library of functions which enables users to access input and output data from their STAAD.Pro projects for extraction into their own applications.
While Advanced Mesher and OpenSTAAD are free utilities supplied along with STAAD.Pro, the remainder of the programs in the list require your copy-protection device/system to support those. If you do not wish to have any specific item(s) installed, uncheck the associated box. Figure 6: Selection of programs to install.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 13 You also have to choose a default unit system. This is to ensure that the length and force units frequently used by you will be available upon entry into the program each time. This is known as the base unit system, and mainly affects the units in which results are displayed, as well as default values for certain quantities.
Please refer to one of the tutorials for additional information on these. Of course, it is always possible for you to change the base unit system within the program, at run-time, as frequently as you please.
Figure 7: Selection of Default Unit System for STAAD.Pro.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up14 Towards the end of the installation process, a message resembling the one shown in Figure 8 will appear. It is pertinent only to users who have received this program as an upgrade from earlier versions of STAAD.Pro, and are already using a security device with those versions. For those users, their hardware lock also needs to be upgraded to enable it to work with STAAD.Pro 2006. That process is done electronically - called re-programming the lock - and there is no need to physically replace the lock (in most of the cases).
Figure 8: Information regarding upgrade of lock After the installation is complete, please restart your machine for the changes to take effect.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 155. Copy Protection Device As explained in the previous section, a copy protection device in the form of a Select XM License, a hardware lock, or a software license, is required to run STAAD.Pro, STAAD.etc, STAAD.foundation and Sectionwizard. If you are using a hardware lock, it must be inserted in the parallel port of your computer and must remain there during the entire duration that you are in one of the programs. If any other device, such as printer cable, hardware lock for other software, etc., is attached to the parallel port, we recommend that you attach the STAAD.Pro / STAAD.etc hardware lock in front of such devices. In case you have multiple locks, and cannot stack them for any reason, REI can replace your parallel port type with a USB type of lock.
The hardware lock is configured for the programs and modules that you have purchased. If you install one of the programs or modules that is not supported by the hardware lock, that component may not be accessible, or will be operable only as a Demonstration version.
The hardware lock driver(s) are automatically installed during the installation process. For computers running on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, you must have administrative rights before installing the program to enable proper installation of the hardware lock driver files. As can be seen from the tutorials in the later sections of this book, STAAD.Pro consists of various modules, each designed to perform a certain type of task in the model generation, analysis and result verification process. Version 2006 requires the hardlock to be in place during the entire time that any and all of these tasks are being performed.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up16 In other words, from the moment you start the program till the moment you exit it, the lock has to be in place. If the lock is detached at any time in between, the program will stop running, and request that you re-attach the lock. In the event that you are unable to, it will provide the opportunity to save the work and exit the program. To resume your work, you will have to put the lock back in the port and re-start the program.
Another important aspect to note is that if you are upgrading from an earlier version of STAAD.Pro such as 2000, 2001 or 2002, one of the following is applicable with regards to the lock: a. The upgrade package should contain a new lock which replaces your old lock. The upgrade package should contain information outlining how you can re-program your earlier lock so that it becomes compatible with STAAD.Pro 2006.System Requirements, Installation and Start-up 176.
