staad-properties

staad-properties is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BentleySystems/openstaad-mcp. It costs 145 tokens per session (1,839 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for defining STAAD.Pro beam sections, plate thicknesses, materials, and member settings in scripts. STAAD.Pro is engineering software used to model and analyze structures such as buildings and bridges.

In plain words
What is it for?
For creating and assigning steel section properties such as angles, channels, tubes, pipes, tees, composite sections, and tapered or prismatic members in STAAD.Pro scripts.
Why use it?
It provides the required codes and function patterns for creating standard or custom structural properties. This reduces guesswork when assigning sections and materials to model members.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

staad-properties scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/assign-beam-sections.py, scripts/assign-plate-thickness.py, scripts/create-floor-plates.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Instructions

  • Define the shorthand once per script: prop = staad.Property

Beam Sections from Database

prop_id = prop.CreateBeamPropertyFromTable(countryCode, sectionName, typeSpec, v1, v2)
prop.AssignBeamProperty(beam_ids, prop_id)   # returns True on success, raises on failure

Country codes (full table in the Reference section — PROPERTY_CODES.md):

Code Country Code Country
1 American 9 German
2 Australian 10 Indian
3 British 11 Japanese
4 Canadian 12 Russian
5 Chinese 13 South African
7 European 16 Korean

Type spec:

Code Spec Description
0 ST Standard single section
2 D Double
5 T Tee
6 CM Composite
7 TC Top cover plate
8 BC Bottom cover plate
9 TB Top+bottom cover plates

Specialized shape creation:

Function Shape
CreateAnglePropertyFromTable(country, name, spec, addSpec) Angle (L)
CreateChannelPropertyFromTable(country, name, spec, addSpec) Channel (C)
CreateTubePropertyFromTable(country, name, spec, v1, v2, v3) Hollow rectangular
CreatePipePropertyFromTable(country, name, spec, v1, v2) Hollow circular
CreateTeePropertyFromTable(country, name, spec) Tee (WT)
CreateWideFlangePropertyFromTable(country, name, spec, specsList) Wide flange extended

Name helpers — CRITICAL validation workflow: Before calling CreateBeamPropertyFromTable, validate the section name exists in the database:

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

staad-properties is a skill published in the GitHub repository BentleySystems/openstaad-mcp (42 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 145 tokens to every session and 1,839 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
