It's fine that the torsional resistance is now automatically calculated. But It still doesn't calculate the shear areas in Z and Y direction, and has to be done by hand. Why?

[@runsonglin6502]

I guess there is no algorithm that supports doing it currently.

Is there a way to model haunch beams in Staad pro ?

[@isatayyib1544]

Yes. Use tapered section

[@Xavier-kg9qe]

I know of tapered sections and been using them, I think the design checks are different for haunch sections then tapered one in eurocode
