Steel industry is rising rapidly in almost all the parts of the world. The use of steel structure is not only economical but also Eco friendly at the time when there is a threat of global warming. Steel roof trusses have a broad range of applications in construction industry owing to their various rewards involving of good load transfer mechanism without negotiating with the structural appearance. Steel is usually considered over any other building material for construction of trusses, since structural steel is durable and can be well molded to give desired shape to the structure. The construction in the present era is becoming challenging day by day in order to achieve more efficiency. The requirement of this study arises when sometimes it becomes difficult to choose an effective software for the truss during the design period. In the present study, analytical results of three different steel truss models are compared using STAAD-Pro software and ETABS software. Comparison of different parameters has been made in the form of graphical representation. The present paper shows the comparative graphs of displacement and axial force against loading (calculated as per SP 38) of all the three models. The results are compared to obtain the best and most efficient truss analyses software.
