 STAAD or (STAAD.Pro) is a structural analysis and design
computer program originally developed by Research Engineers
International inYorba Linda, CA.
 In late 2005, Research Engineer International was bought
by Bentley Systems
 Bentley Systems, Incorporated, is a software company that
produces solutions for the design, construction and operation of
infrastructure.
 An older version called Staad-III for windows is used by Iowa State
University for educational purposes for civil and structural
engineers
 For CONTINUOUS BEAM 
MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD
 For 3D frame 
MATRIX DISPLACEMENT METHOD
 Frame elements – Beam elements – 2 nodes
 Finite elements – 1.) Plate – 3 or 4 nodes
2.) Solid – 4 to 8 nodes
Node becomes Joint
it has a number and xyz coordinates
Beam becomes Member
it has a number and nodes at its ends
Plate becomes Element
it has a number and node at its corners
