General Features - STAAD/Pro-QSE has many design capabilities for a range of material and country codes.  The main benefit is that analytical elements can be simply concatenated into design members in a design layer that ensure continuous beams can be designed efficiently.

Key features:-

• Database of section sizes for a variety of countries including UK, USA, European, Australian etc.
• Automatic calculation of effective lengths based on restraint definitions.
• User Specified Design Parameters.
• Automatic iterative design to 'Least Weight Algorithm', which can be used to update the analysis model.
