Learning Path for New STAAD Users

Every Virtuoso Subscription you purchase includes your software and training credits, called “Keys,” that can be redeemed for training or services. Virtuosity users can take advantage of the following trainings by redeeming the keys that came with their purchase. The number of keys that come with your purchase depends on which version of STAAD you purchased. Each Key is almost equivalent to ~02 hrs of expert service or training.

1. Model and Design a Pre-Engineered Building Structure
2. Dynamic Analysis of a Structure
3. Analysis and Design of Concrete and Steel Structures
4. IS 1893 – 2016 Implementation
