Microstation and STAAD?
Microstation and STAAD?
(OP)
Just heard this from one of our jr engineers (http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050822/225248.html?.v=1) Does anyone know what this means for STAAD + Microstation in the future? This could be very beneficial to us since we are looking for a good integrated analysis + CAD package and not ones that use File Import/Export. We tried Tekla but it was too much to handle. We use both AutoCAD and Microstation in-house.

As a user, I don't see any immediate outcome of the takeover. Microstation was a big success for Bentley but they appear to be sitting on their past laurels.
Ciao.

Smells like an anti-trust suit/crackdown on CADD vs. FEA and such programs is long overdue.
I've played with the STAAD export to .dxf. It works. That's about it.

vooter - anti-trust? Don't you think it is the exact opposite?! There are like 1000 structural engineering/FEM packages out there. I think consolidation from Microstation is exactly what we need.
