I PROPRABLY PREFER COMPUTERS AND STRUCTURES INTERNATIONAL(CSI) SOFTWARES.....(ETABS 2016,SAP2000,SAFE 2016,) OVER STAADPRO

 

REASONS....

1.CSI SOFTWARES ARE BASED ON STIFFNESS BASED LOAD TRANSFER MECHANISM WHICH IS IN REALITY WHEREAS STAAD PRO IS BASED ON GEOMETRY BASED LOAD TRANSFER.

2. STUNNING GRAPHICAL USER INTERFERACE

&&

FOR DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS I PREFER RCDC & MIDAS

For reinforced concrete i.e beams, columns and slabs, ADC 8.4 works well, and for structural steel i.e portal frames, trusses GSA is the best I have ever used. Prokon does both of them

CSI Safe is one of the best softwares to analyze concrete slabs, CSI Etabs is recommended for design of columns, Walls and response spectrum seismic analysis

STAAD PRO scientifically is one of  the best programs to analyse and design structural elemnts. CSI products have the best interface you can deal withand their accuracy is very good, too
