Connects AI agents to Bentley STAAD.Pro's OpenSTAAD API for structural engineering workflows. You can automate repetitive tasks like defining load cases, extracting analysis data, and setting properties across models without clicking through the GUI. Supports multiple STAAD.Pro instances running simultaneously, which helps when you need to parallelize operations across different structural models. Everything runs locally on Windows with no cloud calls. Part of Bentley's Infrastructure AI Co-Innovation Initiative, so it's designed to work with Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP clients out of the box. Requires STAAD.Pro 2025 or newer to be running with a model open.
