The new group's membership will include leading engineering, procurement, and construction firms as well as design firms across the region. Among them is JGC Corp, one of the world's leading engineering contractors, and Toyo Engineering, a global leader in engineering and construction for industrial facilities.

Yukio Uchida, group manager, Technology Group, Civil and Building Department, Engineering Division, JGC, said: "The fact that the STAAD product family, which is widely recognized and employed around the world by our clients, encompasses foundation design is of significance to our work processes. Through our use of this software, I anticipate being able to rationalize our design work as we more effectively coordinate our foundation design practices for steel structures and ourSTAAD.Pro structural analysis and engineering workflows.

"In addition, with this total solution, which includes vessel foundation design, it's possible to coordinate with other 3D modeling applications and export to them detailed drawings and material lists. Though we would like to see additional refinements to the software to meet our specific requirements, the majority of these are already in progress. In addition, I look forward to future developments initiated by interactions among our user group members."

Yasuhiro Masui, associate principal civil engineer, Engineering IT Center, Piping and Civil Engineering Division, Engineering Unit of Toyo Engineering, said: "STAAD. Pro has played a crucial role in establishing a standard for steel structural design work around the world. Currently, there is no such standard for foundation design, but we have great hopes that STAAD Foundation Advanced will assume the role.

"The requests submitted by our STAAD Foundation Advanced User Group in Japan are in the process of being implemented. Through this user group's activities, we will support Bentley Systems in continuing to enhance this software. At the same time, we will employ what we learn through discussions with other members to review our company's STAAD Foundation Advanced design processes."
