STAAD.Pro v8i training course is designed for Civil and Structural Engineers to have hands-on experience on widely used software for structural analysis and design. This training develops skills and techniques to develop, maintain and support high standard design requirements. The learner cultivates powerful analysis and designing abilities that can be implemented by niche industries and leading engineering consultancies.

Following skills will be inculcated in you at the completion of this training:

• Describe the significance of the software
• Proficient in 2D/3D geometry creation methods
• Implement useful functions, properties, constants, supports, and specifications to complete the geometry
• Ways of creating load with manual and automatic combinations for floor, area, plate, wind, and moving loads.
• Isometric and perspective views with 3D shapes.
• Customize structural templates for creating a model.
• Elaborate methods of analysis
• Supports concrete and steel designs covering curvilinear beams, linear and non-linear cables.
• Rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems with mix and match capabilities

Bentley has now released a new version i.e STAAD.Pro V8i SS6. It further enhances the experience of users with better performance. The principal developments that are included in this release include:

• Updated RAM Connection Module
• Enhanced ISM interoperability
• Addition of ‘Add Member’ templates
• Enhanced Connection Tag capabilities
• Addition of accidental torsion for the Canadian response spectrum definitions.
• Significant rework of the Russian steel design codes
• General updates and corrections as described in the Revision History documentation.

Each chapter begins with concepts and learning objectives, and then moves into an easy way supported by full–colour and real-world exercises.

Career in Structural Engineering is open for graduates of structural & civil engineering. Graduates from other fields can also make career in this field, but it could take longer time to get familiar with this profession. Structural engineers play the most important role in the construction and development of our cities & towns. Structural engineers can start their career as a construction designer and can further become project managers. One can seek employment in private section and public sector as well.

Professionals in Structural engineering play an important role in construction industry. They can also work as a self-employed contract engineer or as consultants. Most structural engineers work in engineering consultancies.
