I have completed a structural analysis using STAAD.Pro. I need to do some foundation design now and wondering how to get started with it.

After you run the analysis of the model in STAAD.Pro, you can take the support geometry as well as reactions directly to STAAD.Foundation using the Foundation Design tab from within STAAD.Pro. The steps are explained in the STAAD.Pro software help ( accessed through Help > Contents > Graphical Interface Help > Foundation Design )

In addition we have created a number of video tutorials on different types of foundation and these are available in youtube which you may find useful
