v3.7.5.0
New Features / Improvements
Removed option for checking shear spacing per chapter 10. This option is now always used when applicable.
Tables in output now have an option, under File → Result Points, to automatically add a row if that location contains a design deficiency.
Distributed loads now assume suction is acting in the opposite direction. The wind loads grid was updated to reflect this change.
Bug Fixes
Fix units issue on detailed flexure summary
Fix unit problem on additional self weight option
Fix for load summary labels not being pulled over correctly.
Fix issue with live load patterning now showing all results in output
Fixes for moment magnification now running.
v3.6.0.0
Updated documentation.
Load summary added to analysis report. This section summarizes all applied loads and all load.
New Print window.
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.
Updated navigation of data grids in the program.
Multiple bug fixes.
v3.5.0.0
New Features
Added option under File → Options to reverse the table order in the program. When reversed, all output tables will have the top of the column be the top of the table
Added an option for an additional LL multiplier. This can be used to apply LL reduction from ASCE 7-10 without having to edit your base loads
Added option to apply 10.7.6.5.2 for maximum spacing when minimum reinforcement controls
Added plain concrete shear strength as a minimum shear capacity. This will control sections without reinforcement (near ends).
Changes
Basis added to more drawings
Load drawings and 3D model updated to ensure parity between all 4 diagrams.
Sign of point moments about the Y-Axis reversed. Old files will automatically reverse signs when opening.
Performance improvement for 3D model
Editorial changes including typo fixes, certain options renamed / units changed to be consistent
Change some of the default values for new files
Fix issue where shear utilization on the performance summary was being computed as Vu / phiVc instead of Vu / phiVn
v3.4.1.0
Reorganized load input into 3 grids, lateral loads, vertical loads, and point moments. This should increase performance for members with many loads
Fix crash when erection set to 1 lifter
Fix for issue where transverse area was being set to 0 when opening a file
Fix a few issues that would cause the program to crash
v3.3.1.0
Fix for isolated issue where some old files may not open
v3.3.0.0
Can now add just vertical loads. This should help reduce size of loading grid
Fix for flag saying second order effects increased moments by more than 40% when it did not
Summary sketch now adds bar diameters for larger bar sizes
Added override for 225 psi check when calculating maximum transverse spacing
Fix issue where erection results were not being shown on performance summary
v3.2.0.0
Stability and Performance Improvements
Quality of life improvements
Fixed issue with eccentricities not updating / displaying properly for point loads
Fix issue where transverse spacing was computed incorrectly
v3.1.2.0
Fixed issue where transverse reinforcement was not being found in the analysis
Fixed problem where analysis could get stuck using reinforcement interrupts
v3.1.1.0
3D model updated to now correctly show load orientations (used to be strictly positive)
Fixed typos and tweaked some input labels for clarity
Added service reactions to service tab
Fix issue where the transverse spacing was not being calculated correctly.
Updated 3D model view cube to mirror inputs on previous tabs.
v3.0.0.0
Detailed Flexure Capacity
New output tab, in analysis report, showing a detailed calculation of the flexure capacity
In this you will find the calculation for: PM Diagram, Biaxial Capacity Contour, Calculation of neutral axis depth, calculation of capacity, calculation of axial capacities
Transverse Reinforcement Changes
Added J-Hooks
Expanded Detailing Options
Datum Based Input
Concrete extents now defines a top elevation and bottom elevation
Inputs that ask for elevation are no longer from the bottom
Old files will open with the bottom elevation as 0
Expanded error handling
Analysis and design errors expanded to provide more information
Table Redesign
All tables redesigned with better formatting
Conditional formatting in table to highlight failures and the controlling row
Added an other load type which can be used for any load not present previously (Barrier Cables, Flood, Impact, etc)
Can now apply a displacement at the supports to simulate story drift
Minimum prestress is now an option to use the maximum or average amount. Previously, average could run into problems, due to transfer, where it would drop the average below 225 psi
Fix issue where load eccentricity was not updating in load grid
Column stack was removed. To do a column stack model it in a single file with moment releases.
Fixed interface bugs
Optimized analysis for speed increase
v2.2.2.0
Fix crash in 2nd order analysis
Fix issue where load eccentricity was not updating in load grid
v2.2.1.0
No longer display error 2nd order effect error for very small moments (< 0.01 kip-ft)
Fix error that was causing issues with the maximum spacing calculation for transverse reinforcement
v2.2.0.0
Add a read-only eccentricity column to the loading table
Ignore center strand / rebar not set to true by default
No longer display error 2nd order effect error for very small moments (< 0.01 lb-in)
Fixed a few issues causing crashes
Now uses either the section or structural sections bounding box for loading reference
Unified output locations to be in feet
Fix issue preventing load patterning from being enabled
Fix issue where maximum transverse spacing was incorrect
v2.1.1.0
Fixed display error on shear and flexure graph for strength combinations
v2.1.0.0
Removed kl/r > 100 check. Now correctly check that 2nd order effects do not increase demand by more than 40%.
Added triangular voids
Can now add custom analysis points from the file menu
Can now add custom result points from the file menu
Fixed errors in the drawing routines
Fix deflection reporting error
Fix printing error
