v4.0.2 -

  • Resolved a crash issue occurring when a column design had a fixed bottom connection but no top connection.

  • Corrected the functionality of the "live load scale factor," ensuring it now operates as expected.

  • Added support for negative elevation inputs under loading conditions.

  • Fixed an issue so that seismic load added as a percentage of dead load functions as intended.

v4.0.1 -

  • Fixed a bug causing the analysis section to rotate incorrectly during analysis.

  • Resolved an issue with incorrect edge lifter reported values during erection.

  • Corrected a problem where the shear check displayed as NaN when the moment was 0 at the top of the column.

  • Fixed an issue where the d value was not updating correctly.

  • Addressed a malfunction where the fillet option was not functioning properly.

  • Fixed an issue where the controlling allowable shear spacing method was not displayed correctly for 318-19.

  • Fixed an issue where certain seismic loads were ignored due to load patterning, ensuring all seismic loads are now correctly recognized and applied.

  • Fixed issue where PM Diagram could be drawn incorrectly.

  • Corrected an issue where axial utilization values greater than 1 were not being flagged.

v4.0.0 -

  • ACI 318-19

    • The user can now specify if design should follow ACI 318-14 or ACI 318-19 on the Design Criteria tab under Specification.

      • This option changes many calculations. To summarize the changes in more detail, see the page ACI 318-19 Changes.

  • New analysis option for confinement factors for mild development length of bars with hooked or headed ends.

    • This option behaves slightly differently depending on if ACI 318-14 or ACI 318-19 are being used. More information can be found in the documentation for the option.

  • New load pattern selector

    • New options can be found throughout the Analysis Report which can be used to specify which load combination / load pattern should be used for the corresponding output.

      • These options allow the user to use the worst case or specify the following:

        • Load Combination

        • Live Load Case

        • Wind Load Case

        • Seismic Case

        • Location on Column (when applicable)

      • The options can be found on at the following sections throughout the output:

        • Strength Results

        • Service Results

        • Detailed Flexure

  • Cracking Behavior

    • The user can now specify if the design should be checked as a cracked section.

  • Report Optimizations

    • The time required to refresh the output has been drastically reduced. This should result in a faster analysis time and make the output more smooth when navigating.

v3.13.3 -

  • Grids will now split across multiple pages correctly if printing.

  • Load descriptions are now being saved to disk. .

v3.13.1 -

  • Fixed shear issue where if the user selected ‘Reinforcement CG’ for their ‘d' location, the 'd’ could be over estimated depending on loading levels.

v3.13.0 -

  • The “Analysis Results” section is now called “Analysis Report”

  • The “Load Case Results” section is now called “Analysis Results”

  • The now “Analysis Results” section changed as follows

    • Added a section showing the combination envelopes for both strength and service combinations

    • Added a section summarizing kl/R for each span

    • Added a section summarizing the second order effects and how much they increased your demand (for strength).

v3.12.5 -

  • Fixed issue where an additional support could be added if all supports were springs.
