3

6.0

  • Elevation based input

    • Can now define the top and bottom elevation of the panel. Inputs such as loadings and supports now take in the elevation. Leaving the bottom elevation of the panel as 0

  • Cracking limit check clarified and has no options

    • Mu < Mcr for strength combinations

    • phiMn > 1.2Mcr

    • Both

  • Add option for solid zones

    • Can be treated as partially composite or fully composite

    • These are only sections where some insulation is present. End blocks are not considered as the insulation has been fully removedleaves the program as it was previously.

  • Thermal analysis

    • Thermal loads are now applied as temperature gradients in the FEM model. Results in similar analysis results as doing the hand method previously used.

  • Panel stack removed

    • Panel stacks should now be done using a single member with a hinge. This results in a more accurate second order analysis

  • Load summary added to analysis report. This section summarizes all applied loads and all load patterns checked.

  • Combine summary and combination tabs

    • Both the service and strength section of the report now contain a single tab instead of two. On this tab the user can now select as many combinations as they want to be summarized.

  • Beam spring model added to the program for sandwich panels.

  • Horizontal shear changed to provide a more detailed output table.

  • Can now print the current view only and not the entire report.

  • New Print window.

  • Updated all tables in the program to be on par with the rest of the commercial suite.

  • Updated online documentation

  • Updated floor tie calculation to allow the user to specify what loads are applied prior to the floor tie.

  • Multiple bug fixes.

  • New Quality Control document.

v3.2.4.0

  • New options for checking Mcr

  • Fix issue taking debonded strand longer than anticipated to develop

  • Updates to loss routine

  • Fix error in restrained thermal analysis

  • Misc. bug fixes
