What is new in Bentley STAAD Foundation Advanced 2025

Bentley STAAD Foundation Advanced 2025 (v25.00.00), released in June 2025, brings several noteworthy enhancements that expand its design capabilities and streamline workflows for foundation engineers. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:

New Feature

  • Pile Cap Design per ACI 318 & IS 456
    You can now design pile caps using:
  • ACI 318 (2014 & 2019)
  • IS 456 (2000)
    This includes:
  • Modeling pile caps at any angle relative to global axes
  • Finite element analysis (flexible method) alongside rigid body assumptions
  • Auto-detection of pile configurations from templates
  • Visual plots explaining pile configuration logic
  • Pile punching shear checks

Enhancements

  • Integration with STAAD.Pro 2025
    Launch STAAD Foundation Advanced directly from within STAAD.Pro for a smoother workflow.
  • Improved Punching Shear Checks
    Now includes soil bearing pressure within the punching perimeter for more accurate stress calculations.
  • Support for Smaller Pile Diameters
    You can now specify pile diameters under 12 inches (300 mm).
  • Mat Foundation Improvements
    Pile punching checks are now available for pile-supported mat foundations

Defect Fixes

  • Resolved issues where data wasn’t saved correctly, causing file corruption or unexpected behavior.
  • Fixed a bug where finite element results weren’t read if analysis errors were present

Bentley has not officially published detailed release notes specifically for STAAD Foundation Advanced 2025 v25.00.01.287. The most recent documented update is v25.00.00, which introduced major features like pile cap design per ACI 318 and IS 456, tighter STAAD.Pro integration, and enhanced punching shear checks.

That said, Bentley often uses minor version increments (like .01.287) for:

  • Bug fixes or performance improvements
  • Stability enhancements
  • Minor UI or workflow refinement
