StructEngine
STAAD Plate-wise MTO & Excel
Extract plate-wise steel material takeoff (MTO) from STAAD.Pro models, including web and flange plate quantities for supported built-up and tapered steel sections. StructEngine groups steel quantities by plate thickness, calculates rolled-section totals, and generates a downloadable Excel workbook with detailed quantity schedules. Upload a STAAD .std file or readable attachment, or paste STAAD editor text. Designed for structural engineers, steel detailers, fabricators, and quantity estimators. Reports include explicit units, model density where supported, warnings, and excluded quantities. Results require independent engineering verification before procurement or fabrication. StructEngine does not perform structural analysis, code-compliance checks, or engineering certification.

- Instructions
Use for STAAD takeoff requests; it returns backend quantities and an Excel download in one call. Present the table and Download Excel link immediately, without another prompt or unsolicited charts. Accept .std uploads, readable attachments and pasted editor scripts. Do not override density unless requested. Display applied density and any model/override difference. Preserve warnings and report export failures explicitly; outputs are not structural analysis or engineering certification.
Use to generate code-compliant STAAD load combination syntax for IS 800:2007 (steel) and IS 456:2000 (concrete) from primary load case definitions. Present the generated syntax in a clean code block ready to copy-paste into the STAAD editor.
Use to verify cold-formed steel purlins (Z and C sections) per IS 801:1975. Checks biaxial bending, web crippling, major/minor/live deflection, and stiffener adequacy.
