1. Certification in Staad Pro
STAAD.Pro(Structural Analysis andDesignProgram) Itisa comprehensive,general-purposeprogram
for designinginfrastructure projects both big and small. It can implement various forms of analysis
and supports several steel, concrete and timber design codes.
Course Objectives
Thiscourse aims to make the participantsproductive bygivingthemthe ability to produce drawings
and redefineimagesof buildings.Also,itwill help you navigate user interface, architectural objects
such as floor,walls,roofs,windows,andstairs. Covering the basic to advance of Revit Architecture,
this course will assist in the creation of schematic design through construction n documentation.
Studentswhoenroll inthiscourse will learn:

Whoshould be aiming for this course?
STAAD.PRO isa newtool for Civil EngineeringStudentswhichisinhuge demandnow adays.This is
a structural analysisanddesignprogramwithapplicationsprimarilyinthe buildingandReal-estate
industry- like commercial buildings,bridgesandhighwaystructures,industrialstructures,chemical
plantstructures,dams,Turbine foundations,culverts,otherembeddedstructuresetc.
What is Staad Pro?
STAADor (STAAD.Pro) isastructural analysisanddesign softwareapplicationoriginallydevelopedby
ResearchEngineersInternationalin1997. In late 2005, ResearchEngineersInternational was bought
by Bentley Systems.
STAAD.Pro is one of the most widely used structural analysis and design software products
worldwide. It supports over 90 international steel, concrete, timber & aluminium design codes.
Scope of Staad Pro
Real Estate business is one of the profitable sectors of the market and there are huge no of scopes
and opportunities for BTECH Civil Engineering students who want to pursue their career as a
Structural DesignerorDesign Engineer. Leading builders and colonizers are investing hugely in the
real estate business to get maximum profit.
There isa growingdemandforwell-skilledcivilEngineeringprofessionals and in the near future the
demand will increase more. Already the sector is booming. The companies are looking for
competent,skilledandtechnicallystrongCivil engineeringprofessionalsbutsomehow the skills and
techniquesthatindustries expectfromthe candidatesare eitherlackingornotup to the mark as per
the standardsof the industry.The blame hasto be giventothe course curriculumof the collegesand
institutions that only emphasizes on the theoretical learning and lacks in imparting practical and
technical knowledge to the students.

2. Benefits of Certification in Staad Pro
1. You will come to know how to have isometric and point of view perspectives and 3D
shapes.
2. You will be aware how to design concrete structures like
columns/beams/slabs/footings according to the international codes.
3. You will get to learn how to generate text/graphics input
4. You will come to know how to execute flexible zoom and numerous views.
5. You will have the knowledge on how to perform code check, member selection and
optimized part selection comprising of design/analysis cycles.
6. You will know how to utilize built-in command file editor and straightforward
command language.
7. You will learnhowtofinishcompleteobject-oriented instinctive 3D/2D graphic model
creation.
8. You will have the knowledge to perform exact and numerically productive plate/shell
componentconsolidatingout-of-plane shear and in-plane rotation; program element
meshcreation;complete componentstressyield incorporating in-plane stresses, out-
of-plane shear, bending and main stresses at nodal and also user indicated focuses.
9. You will come toknowhowto utilize pull downmenus, drifting toolbars, tool tip help.
10. Get to know how to take presentation quality printer plots related to geometry and
results as a major aspect of run yield.
11. You will figure outhowtoaccomplishuser determined design parameters to alter the
design.
