v4.3.0.0
New Features / Improvements
Added note for thermal restraint explaining what it is
Default IWP wythes to same width
Added load case results table
Added option for edge lifters to carry entire weight or not
Structural model drawings now account for negative signs
Bug Fixes
Fix crash in moment magnification
Fix error in highlighting
Import beam-spring data now persists the data
Fix for minimum prestress of partially composite panels
v4.2.0.0
Structural model drawing now properly shows direction of loads
Added option for edge lifters to assume they carry entire panel weight
Minimum prestress now properly accounting for losses and development length
v4.1.3.0
New Features / Improvements
More thermal analysis improvements. You can now selected which restraints are applied for the thermal analysis (which can be used to model an unrestrained system). The thermal results are now run separately from the applied loads and treated as initial results.
Added option to add rows to the result tables if a design deficiency exists. This option can be found under File → Result Points.
Removed the use average section properties feature from buckling. This could potentially lead to errors with moment magnification.
The user can now select which reactions will restrain the gravity loads.
Bug Fixes
Multiple printing fixes
Stability improvements.
Labels now correctly shown on load summary.
Corrected units error on detailed flexure summary
Fixes for Mcr check near ends of beam being incorrectly flagged as an error.
Fix for files that would get stuck on opening.
Multiple issues fixed with saving and opening files.
v4.0.6.0
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 leaves 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
v3.2.3.0
Fix coordinate system on 3D Model
Fix for importing panels into the panel stack
Fixed issue causing internal soil loading to be applied on the exterior face
Changed reaction descriptions to make direction of load more apparent
v3.2.2.0
Fixed issue when using all face lifters on one crane line that would result in incorrect lifter forces
v3.2.1.0
Fixed display error on shear and flexure graph for strength combinations
v3.2.0.0
Axial utilization on performance summary is not for the pure axial case and is no longer the combined axial and flexure case
Now check that 2nd order effects do not increase moment by more than 40%, not longer check kl/r > 100
User can now define analysis points and result points from the file menu
Added option to use ACI 22.5.8.2 for shear capacity
Added analysis option to use a single crane line for all face lifters when ground reaction is present
Fix incorrect labels / units on the horizontal shear tables
Fixed printing issue
Fixed multiple display issues
