PEB Frame Geometry
Generate typical low-rise PEB frame geometry from input parameters.
STAAD / OpenSTAAD Automation for PEB Frames
STAGen – STAAD Input & PEB Frame Automation Tool
Reduce repetitive STAAD modelling, load generation, load combinations, preliminary optimization, and final ratio review time for typical PEB frames.
Built by a PEB design engineer for practical steel building design workflows.
70–90%Potential repetitive workflow saving*
STAADInput + analysis workflow
*Actual saving depends on project complexity and company workflow.
The Problem
PEB design teams spend too much time on repetitive STAAD work.
Manual workflows often involve creating frame geometry, assigning loads, preparing combinations, running section trials, checking utilization ratios, updating sections, and repeating the cycle.
STAGen helps automate the repetitive preparation and preliminary optimization stages while keeping final engineering judgement with the design team.
Key Features
Designed around practical PEB frame workflow.
STAAD Input Creation
Create formatted STAAD input files for faster model preparation.
Loads & Combinations
Generate gravity, wind, seismic loads, and required load combinations.
OpenSTAAD Optimization
Automate preliminary section trials and re-analysis through OpenSTAAD.
Ratio Review
Review final utilization ratios and design performance quickly.
Weight Summary
Get frame weight summary to support efficient design comparison.
Workflow
From input parameters to final design review.

Time Saving
From hours of repetitive STAAD work to minutes of automated preparation.
For typical low-rise PEB frames, STAGen can significantly reduce repetitive STAAD input preparation and preliminary optimization time, depending on project complexity and company workflow.
Important Engineering Position
STAGen is not intended to replace engineering review. It is intended to reduce repetitive modelling and optimization iterations while keeping the final design decision with the engineer.
Who It Is For
