However, StaadPro has some great advantages. First and foremost, the license is cheaper. The connection with visualization and drawing software is much easier, not in vane StaadPro is a product of Bentley (Microstation, PDS, etc...). StaadPro provides additional modules for designing steel joints and foundations. The text editor facility for the model input file makes StaadPro is more versatile for model modification.
