Quickly design, detail, and document 3D models for any structure, from a single column to an entire plant. Produce high-quality economical designs for your concrete and steel projects. Synchronize model data with confidence among your entire design team and downstream, including your structural analysis and fabrication applications.
STAAD is a popular structural analysis application known for analysis, diverse applications of use, interoperability, and time-saving capabilities. STAAD helps structural engineers perform 3D structural analysis and design for both steel and concrete structures.
A physical model created in the structural design software can be transformed into an analytical model for structural analysis. Many design code standards are incorporated into STAAD to make sure that the structural design complies with local regulations.
STAAD.Pro Advanced includes all the modeling, analysis, design and interoperability capabilities of STAAD.Pro, but layers on more advanced analysis, as well as reinforced concrete design and detailing features.
STAAD is a comprehensive structural finite element analysis and design application that allow users to perform analysis on any structure exposed to static, dynamic, wind, earthquake, thermal, and moving loads.
Further, it is important to choose software that will help structural engineers conform to regulatory codes and ensure safety. Structural engineering software helps users save time and ensure accuracy, which is vital when dealing with structure stability and strength.

Structural WorkSuite eliminates concerns about product-by-product license availability by combining individually priced applications into a single bundle. It helps engineers on tight budgets take advantage of comprehensive workflows rather than being stuck with the inefficiencies and limitations of partial workflows. Each Structural WorkSuite user can employ all applications within the software package with no extra fees. Learn more.
Memory
1 GB minimum, 2 GB recommended. Additional memory potentially improves performance, particularly when working with larger models. 4 GB or more can help speed up solutions for very large complex models with large numbers of load cases.
A perpetual license of Bentley software is a one-time purchase, with a yearly maintenance subscription, called SELECT. This includes 24/7/365 technical support, learning resources, and the ability to exchange licenses for other software once a year. With SELECT, you will benefit from:
For larger organizations with in-depth requirements, we offer plans to provide global pricing and access to our comprehensive portfolio of solutions and success plan services. Contact us about how to get access to software, global best practices, implementation services, training, and technical support to help your organization realize its full potential while addressing your unique needs.
You can connect your structural models created in RAM SS, with IDEA StatiCa apps. Simply save your RAM model as a .rss file and import it into the standalone Checkbot app. It means you can start designing steel connections on your RAM model as not only does the geometry of the structure get imported, but also materials, cross-sections, and internal forces.
After importing, your structural model is displayed directly in the 3D graphic scene where you can select which structural joints and members you would like to design and code-check. IDEA StatiCa and Bentley RAM Structural System give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.
Please note that like with most software, there is always a short delay when new versions are released and the BIM links are updated. Please check out the list of compatible versions before installing the plugin.
Architectural demands, economic pressures, and environmental concerns often force structural engineers to push floor and cantilever span lengths to the limit and minimize the use of building materials. For concrete building structures, this increases the demand for post-tensioned concrete floors, decreased floor depth and lower reinforcement ratios. Unfortunately, these design efficiencies accelerate the risk for serviceability concerns like deflection and vibration control, which are often overlooked or crudely approximated during design.
Karl Gullerud serves as product manager at Bentley Systems for RAM Concept software. He is motivated by sharing his passion for structural engineering with RAM users and helping them produce successful designs. Prior to joining Bentley, he worked as a licensed structural engineering consultant and gained design experience with a wide range of structural systems and software applications.

Most RNA processing occurs co-transcriptionally. We interrogated nascent pol II transcripts by chemical and enzymatic probing and determined how the "nascent RNA structureome" relates to splicing, A-I editing and transcription speed. RNA folding within introns and steep structural transitions at splice sites are associated with efficient co-transcriptional splicing. A slow pol II mutant elicits extensive remodeling into more folded conformations with increased A-I editing. Introns that become more structured at their 3' splice sites get co-transcriptionally excised more efficiently. Slow pol II altered folding of intronic Alu elements where cryptic splicing and intron retention are stimulated, an outcome mimicked by UV, which decelerates transcription. Slow transcription also remodeled RNA folding around alternative exons in distinct ways that predict whether skipping or inclusion is favored, even though it occurs post-transcriptionally. Hence, co-transcriptional RNA folding modulates post-transcriptional alternative splicing. In summary, the plasticity of nascent transcripts has widespread effects on RNA processing.
Dear Bentley Community,
Bentley, like many other campuses across the country, has seen an increase in students using their voices to shine a light on inequities and demand change. The administrators of the Instagram account @Sexism.at.Bentley brought attention to the impact of sexism on our community and shared a strong plan for ways to make a difference.
The levels at which sexism operates range from interpersonal interactions to systemic policies and practices. We all have a role to play in preventing and responding to sexism. A group of Bentley faculty and staff have been meeting to coordinate a response strategy at the systemic level and recommend structural changes.
Since May, several initiatives have been implemented that include:
Hear Ryan Voros, principal at Cornerstone, discuss several common deflection analysis methods used by engineering firms to design flat plate residential slabs in North America. Cornerstone will compare real deflection survey results from a residential high-rise in the western United States to five deflection estimation methods. He will share how his team used RAM Concept, part of the Structural WorkSuite portfolio, and SAFE by CSi to evaluate the accuracy of the deflection estimates.
Structural analysis projects often require multiple specialty designs to work together, resulting in inefficient and error-prone workflows. Structural WorkSuite provides a complete solution that includes applications for structural design and analysis in one cost-effective bundle with programs that have been designed to seamlessly work together.
Bentley's keystone structural analysis product, STAAD.Pro, has been updated with new features to help you efficiently model, perform analyses, and design any structure, from simple to complex, in less time. Recent updates allow for even smoother, faster workflows for your projects. Join our product experts Karim Rashad, Shyla Lintz, and Qian Fang for a live webinar exploring the newest improvements to STAAD.Pro.
The Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360) and Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341) design codes were updated in 2022. Bentley is committed to maintaining these codes and providing the latest code updates in RAM and STAAD as part of their regular maintenance.
