• 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

10 Nov 2020

• 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.
