Become a STAAD Pro master and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!
This comprehensive course is designed for students, engineers, designers.. to be able to use STAAD Pro from scratch to conduct structural projects in a simple and practical way. Never mind if you have no experience in the software or in structural analysis, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with mastery of the subject.
After several years working as an Engineer, I have realized that mastering STAAD Pro to perform structural problems today is something very necessary in civil engineering or other building applications. STAAD is the leader software in structural analysis and structural design, so knowing how to use this powerful tool can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the engineering or building design field.
The big problem has always been the complexity to fully master the software, since its understanding is not easy. In this course I try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, and you will be able to carry out and understand your own structural projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed examples of every concept.
With over 30 lectures and 14 hours of video this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! This course includes practical exercises and examples, as well as theoretical foundaments to master STAAD Pro V8i. This course will teach you Structural Engineering in a practical manner.
We will start by helping you get STAAD Pro V8i installed on your computer, regardless of your operating system, whether its Linux, MacOS, or Windows, we've got you covered.
Then, we will cover a wide variety of topics, including:
Installation and Introduction to STAAD Pro
Overview of the software
