STAAD Foundation Advanced is a comprehensive structural foundation design and analysis software that includes specialized features for foundations of many types.  You can perform isolated, combined, pile cap and mat foundations or more complex foundations including horizontal vessel foundations, tank annular ringwall, lateral analysis of pile/drilled piers, and vibrational analysis for machine foundations.

GENERAL FOOTINGS
Intuitive graphical user interface; the workflow is categorized and arranged to flow from top to bottom
Foundation project environment that includes isolated, combined, strap, pile cap, octagonal footing, mat, and rotating/reciprocating machine foundations; it connects all the modules through a global layer Tabbed view, navigator tree ribbon control and custom skin style Spreadsheet import/export integration with detailed output Physical mat foundation modeling environment that saves time and reduces errors by considering openings, control regions, physical beam, and column lines; provides an option for both triangular and quadrilateral plates Physical loading – including point load on space, irregular quadrilateral load, circular load, or line load that enables users to simulate physical loading conditions Wizard-based simplified input for rotating/reciprocating machine foundation that creates solid elements with dynamic loading Integrates with STAAD.Pro to import/export loadings, reactions, column positions; users can import any set of analyzed plates to design; tracks changes made in the STAAD.Pro model and can merge the changes with the STAAD Foundation Advanced file Graphics that help visualize output like displacements, stress on displaced shape, grade beam stresses, and entities such as plates and beams for a realistic, rendered view Automatic pile arrangement.
