Staad - Pro Vba

This VBA code opens a STAAD file, runs the analysis, and extracts member intermediate forces at different distances along each member for different load cases. It stores the distance, axial force, shear force 1, and bending moment values in cells of the active Excel worksheet. The code loops through 7 members, 3 load cases, and distance increments along each member to retrieve the member forces from STAAD and output them to the worksheet.
