STAAD.Pro - Result Verification

These powerful graphics based facilities provide on-screen result verification and customized report generation. User friendly navigation and organization of data helps you get the information you need with a few simple clicks. Point and click on a member to obtain all the information on its Geometry, Cross-sectional properties, Forces, Moments, Displacements, etc. Even design information such as Allowable Stresses, Governing Code Criteria, Reinforcement layout, are available. Sort and Search based on required criteria to create customized reports. Arrange and rank the data based on Forces, Moments, Displacements, Stresses, etc., in ascending or descending order. Customize reports to include only the information you want, where you want it, including your company logo.
