Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of a DIRECT ANALYSIS command has been updated to catch and
address an issue previously encountered when attempting to process a command
line that has been manually created with the optional keyword of TBITER
followed by an integer. Although this is not a valid definition (see help topic
TR 37.5 Direct Analysis), this caused the application to enter an infinite
loop. Now, if a value is defined following the TBITER keyword, it will be
ignored, although other valid keywords will continue to be processed. |
487967 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The STAAD Analysis and Design dialog has been updated to process a keypress
of the F1 key to launch the user help topic 'STAAD Analysis and Design dialog'
Launching of STAAD help was not properly implemented for F1 key. This has been
corrected. Now it launches the analysis dialog help page |
488324 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The routine that processes wind loads has been updated to address an issue
which could occur with models that have complex geometry when subjected to wind
loading that are not loaded due to overlapping incomplete panels in which the
loading can be applied. Where this is encountered now warning messages are
included in the output file. |
591144 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The analysis of models which have time history Ground Motion defined in
multiple cases, which is outside the scope of the program, see help topic
TR.32.10.2 Time Varying Load for Response History Analysis, has been updated in
order to catch such situations and terminate gracefully. Previously,
encountering such a situation would cause the program to crash. |
691239 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of a model which has multiple analysis definitions has been
updated to catch a situation in which the support definition has been changed
and the use of multi-linear springs used. There is a limitation that the number
of springs cannot be increased after the first analysis. Either the same number
or fewer can be specified. If a greater number are specified, this is now
caught and the analysis terminated. Previously, this would cause the analysis
to crash. |
788884 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of the self weight loading on finite elements that have been
assigned a plate offset have been corrected to address an issue which
incorrectly accounted for the offset and introduced a small error due to the
difference between the node position and the plate offset location. |
846868 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The values of shear area used in the design of profiles defined using the
User Table I Section has been updated for a number of codes, namely AIJ, IS800
and CSA S16, where the values have not been explicitly defined in the profile
definition using the method defined in the individual code. |
871592 |
Analysis/Design Engine - An additional test has been added to ensure that if time history loading is
defined, that is included in a load case before the first analysis command.
Previously any attempt to include time history loading in a load case in a
second or subsequent analysis block would cause the analysis to crash. |
896499 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The output from the legacy Norwegian steel design code NS3472, has been
updated to remove an unnecessary warning message relating to models using the
SET Z UP model vertical alignment. |
899020 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The details of a design to the legacy Indian code IS800:1984 has been
updated such that when the governing criteria is recorded due to slenderness,
the location at which this criteria is identified is now reported. Previously
this would simply be reported as location 0.0 |
902485 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of members specified with a tapered web and designed to either
AISC 360:16 or IS800:2007(WSD/LSD), have been updated to address an issue which
could occur if they were included in a collection of beams for code checking
that also contained non web tapered members. This memory handling for these
members has been refactored to prevent an overflow which would have caused the
design to crash. |
902580 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design routines for CSA S136-94 and BS 5950 part 5 have been updated so
that rolled hollow sections can be assigned if required, instead of cold-formed
hollow sections and the design will still be performed. |
907508 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The AISC 360:16 design of single angles has been updated to address an
issue with accounting for the additional moment due to the eccentricity from
the compression forces if the collection of load cases for the design included
one or more cases where the member was in tension. In such cases the design
failed to include the additional bending moment for any load case where the
member was in compression. |
907678 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The method used in a Direct Analysis to determine the cross-section
compressive strength requires the determination of the members yield strength,
Fy. This is determined from the assigned member material property. However, if
multiple steel strengths are utilised on different members, only the first was
being used as reported in the output file. |
907807 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The output for a design of a member to the Indian IS800:2007 steel design
code which is of a wide flange profile with a tapered web, has been updated to
clarify that if it has either a slender web or flange, then these sections are
not supported. |
915287 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of Dependant/Control definitions (previously referred to as
Master/Slave) has been updated to better enforce a requirement that if these
are used in a model that has multiple analysis defined and the
control/dependant definitions are redefined for the second or later analysis
sets, then the supports also need to be redefined. Although this was stated in
the manual, this was not being verified during the analysis and was resulting
in memory issues and the analysis terminating. Now the error in the data is
reported and the analysis is stopped. |
930398 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The method used to label the output for a number of legacy design codes has
been updated to ensure that when they are used to check members in a model with
other design codes, the label reflects the current code if the checks follow a
more current design code. Previously, the code defined in the first parameter
block would define the header resulting in the later blocks being labelled with
this same header. This affected the following codes, AITC, CITC, EC5, US
ALUMINIUM, API, BS5400, DIN18800 and CM66. |
934093 |
Analysis/Design Engine - A minor update has been introduced into the Indian steel design routine for
IS801 cold formed steel design module has been updated to support inclusion of
an optional deflection check routine as provided with the other stress-based
codes. |
935629 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of the design parameter SGR during a design to AISC 360-16,
failed to correctly account for the flange thickness when set to 17 (i.e., A572
Gr.60) or 18 (i.e., A572 Gr.65), in determining the material strength (Fy and
Fu) as per Table 2-4 of the AISC Steel Construction Manual and terminated with
an exception error. Additionally, when set to SGR 19 (i.e., A618
Gr.Ia.Ib&II), the program set Fy = 46 Ksi irrespective of the flange
thickness. This would be conservative if the flange thickness is less than 3/4"
thick, however, Fu was determined correctly. These issues have been
addressed. |
937064 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The steel design of double channels - front to front with flanges connected
(i.e., zero spacing between channels), to the US cold formed steel code, AISI
S1000:2016 has been updated such that the value of Cw, cross sectional
torsional warping constant is determined as though a box section based on the
dimensions of the combined profile. Note that the design does not support such
double profiles that are specified with any space between the ends of the
flanges of the channels. |
937077 |
Analysis/Design Engine - An additional validation has been introduced into the design of members
specified with a general profile using the European steel code EN 1993-1-1. The
dimensions provided in the profile definition are checked to ensure that
depending on the profile indicated by the GST parameter, values have been
entered for the required dimensions. |
948802 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The method used to perform a cloud analysis has been refactored to simplify
the process as the Optioneering service currently was being trialled is being
deprecated. The requirements that the model should be associated with a Bentley
Connect Project has been removed and the requirement to define a Scenario and
Solution have also been removed. However please note that this service is still
being offered only as a Technical Preview and should not be used for commercial
projects. For more details of this service refer to the STAAD.Pro wiki site on
Bentley Communities. |
969825 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The routine used in the AISC 360-16 code to design a singly or doubly
symmetric section, incorrectly used clause H2 instead of H1-2 for combined
flexure and tension when the specified inertia ratio (Iyc/Iy) is NOT within the
prescribed range of 0.1 to 0.9. However, the overall design will be overly
conservative since equation H2-1 results in a higher utilization ratio than
equations H1-1a or H1-1b. Note: In practice, it is only the T-sections with
moments producing compression at the bottom of the web could be affected. This
has been corrected. |
972245 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The format of warnings and error messages that are produced during an
analysis and reported in the output ANL file have been updated to use the same,
consistent formatting style. |
984180 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The routine that processes the defined section profiles assigned to the
model when using the command STEEL TAKE OFF has been updated to include the
details of profiles assigned from the Brazilian database in the CS, SVS and VS
tables rather than simply grouping them all in a single 'Prismatic' entry.
|
984349 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design routine used with the Japanese steel design codes AIJ 2002 and
2005 have been updated to allow the design to be completed, but without
deflection checks if a value for DFF has not been assigned, even if values for
DJ1 and DJ2 are defined. Previously the design would terminate if DJ1 and/or
DJ2 were assigned, but DFF was not defined. |
985265 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of members defined as TRUSS, to the Indian code IS800:2007
(LSD/WSD) has been updated to remove a warning regarding the requirement of
using a second order analysis as per clause 4.4.2 which does not apply.
|
985673 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The output of a member designed to AISC 360-16 has been updated to clarify
the governing ratio and clause that is reported. If the member has failed due
to slenderness, then this was always being reported as the clause, although the
ratio is the largest of all checks, which may be something other than
slenderness. The output has been revised such that now the governing clause
will be reported and slenderness will only be reported if that is indeed the
one that produces the largest ratio. |
986793 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The Generate Floor Spectrum analysis method has been updated to address an
issue in processing the inputted lowest frequency setting, FLOW. This value was
not being used, but instead always used a value of 0.1 Hz |
988010 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of taper members to the Eurocode EN1993-1-1 has been updated to
address an issue which would occur when determining the value of Lm for clause
Annex BB 3.2 for determining the lateral torsional buckling check and the
member is subject to axial tension. If the previous case was a compressive
case, this would lead to a superfluous check being performed as subject to an
axial tension, the LTB check is not required. |
487676 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine provided to recommend a profile in the American Steel Joist
database has been updated for K, KCS, LH and DLH tables. Note that these
sections are provided purely to define loading on the model and do not provide
any structural stiffness. |
487862 |
Analytical Workflow - The processing of external user tables has been modified and a limit of 70
characters is imposed on the path filename. Attempting to use the GUI to select
a UPT in a folder that would result in excess of 70 characters is now
prevented. Previously this would have resulted in the path being split over
multiple lines and then reported as an error when reopening or attempting to
analyse the file. |
487885 |
Analytical Workflow - The method used to display the distribution of floor loading which is
applied to composite deck definitions has been updated to address an issue when
processing the areas that are enclosed by each panel definition. |
487891 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used to display floor loading has been updated to better handle
zones that include members that have been defined as INACTIVE. |
487972 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that is used to save a model has been updated to better handle
models which include the older IS1893 1984 seismic definitions. The later
version of this code, i.e. IS 1893 2002 part 1, require a different parameter
set which resulted in the older definitions being saved with additional
parameters 'PX 0 PZ 0 PZ 0 PZ 0'. This issue has now been addressed and the
additional parameters are not now generated. |
488138 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that processes editing of a IBC response spectrum definition
(any version) has been updated to adress an issue which was failing to record
the changes made to the parameters 'Fa' and 'Fv'. |
488147 |
Analytical Workflow - The Property>Define>General dialog and User Table dialogs for all
section shapes, have been modified to ensure that the change in local axes is
accounted for when using a SET Z UP option. |
488194 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that creates the connection tag commands has been updated to
ensure that the command line is created within the number of characters that
has been specified as the limit. If this is exceeded, normally due to
assignment list of multiple non-consecutive members, then it is split over
multiple lines using the hyphen character as the line continuation marker.
|
488196 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used to highlight loads by selecting them from the Load &
Definition dialog has been updated to ensure that the load item being selected
is the top most load and does not get partly or fully hidden by other loads
which have not been selected. |
488198 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used to add connection tags has been updated such that it is
possible to create a New connection tag definition and Add it to the collection
of definitions, even if at the present time there are no members currently
selected. |
488271 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used to create/update the .STD file from the model has been
updated, such that the if the configuration option to define the data of solid
objects as Single Line Format, then this setting is utilised. There was a typo
error while writing and reading of the settings for single line format. This
error is corrected |
488277 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine the adds seismic loads in the Load & Definition dialog to
the model has been updated, in order to address an issue which would occur if
the code selected was 'Turkish' and the definition added, additional
definitions could be added rather than modifying the one and only definition
that can exist in the model. |
488282 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that saves/updates the .STD datafile has been updated to ensure
that if a SELFWEIGHT option has been added to the Colombian 2010 seismic
definition, then this weight is added to the file. |
488304 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used in the GUI to create Steel Deign commands has been updated
to reflect the command syntax supported by the GROUP command as defined in the
help topic TR.50 Group Specification. Currently this command does not support
the keyword ALL so if the all the members are selected and the command created,
instead it will use the format MEMBER (member list) |
488308 |
Analytical Workflow - The format of the response spectrum definition dialog has been modified to
improve the representation of the options provided to sign the output either
using a defined mode shape or determined by summing the results from all modes
to determine if the overall should be positive or negative. |
488333 |
Analytical Workflow - The GUI has been updated to include the option 'Rigid Inplane Rotation' as
a quick action to access the option in the drop list in the ribbon
Specification>Specifications>Plate. This equates to the option provided
in the Specification dialog Plate... button. |
488359 |
Analytical Workflow - The control to assign a beta angle using a reference joint in the geometry
tool, Generate 3D Circular has been updated with a simpler label 'Assign REF
JT'. |
488363 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used in the function to renumber beams has been updated to
ensure that if any of the beams that are being renumbered are included in a
floor load command and being referenced as the target for the direction
identifier, then the change in numbering is applied to these commands as well.
|
488368 |
Analytical Workflow - The details displayed in the Loading sheet of the Member Properties (also
referred to as the Member Query) dialog has been updated to include Floor load
definitions that impact the selected member. Please note that even though Floor
Loads ultimately are used to generate member loads, they are handled as load
generators and modifying the load on one member using the edit option her, may
impact the effect of the load elsewhere on the model. |
488375 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine the is used in the Load & Definition dialog to edit floor
load commands has been updated such that it is now possible, when the command
has been specified with a group, to simply select an alternative group to
activate the Modify button. |
488380 |
Analytical Workflow - The dialog that is provided to define a P-Delta Analysis command has been
slightly modified to better reflect the available options of either using a
geometric stiffness option (KG) OR using the Small Delta OR using the Large
Delta options. The check boxes "Use Geometric Stiffness (Kg)" & "Small
Delta" have been changed to the radio buttons without changing the titles, so
that only one option can be checked at a time. These two options are on the tab
page 'PDelta Analysis' of the page 'Analysis/Print Commands'. |
488391 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that sets the active state of a selected item in the View Table
dialog (displayed from the Section Properties dialog) has been modified to
address an issue when using the option to 'Select Section Properties to Project
Database' has been specified for a given table. In this situation the state of
a profile selected in the main Section Profile Tables dialog would incorrectly
be set to disabled when the View Table was clicked. |
488394 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that has been implemented to edit and update the details of a
plate property, i.e. thickness and material assignment, in the Properties
dialog box, has been updated to ensure the actions are held in the undo/redo
list to allow the changes to reverted or reinstated if required. |
488427 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that process an STD file during an open process has been
updated to address an issue that would be encountered if a the assignment of
section properties The reading method for the member group in the input file
has been updated, so that the command of 'MEMBER PROPERTY' with group can be
read and written correctly. |
488471 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that is used to divide members with the insertion of additional
node points and thus create new members has been updated to ensure that if a
thermal load bas been assigned to the member in one or more load cases, then
this loading is assigned to any new additional members that have been created.
|
488477 |
Analytical Workflow - The method used to generate a LOAD LIST command in the Post Analysis
Commands dialog (available from the Analysis and Design ribbon), has been
updated to better manage the Available and Selected lists and ensure if a load
case is moved to the Selected side and then removed again, it does not remain
in the command that is generated. |
562580 |
Analytical Workflow - The file save routine has been update to address an issue which could occur
on models which have beta angles assigned to a large number of members. If the
assignment list resulted in the creation of a command line in excess of the 79
character limit, the line could occasionally be written with more than 79
characters and would result in the analysis reporting this with a warning.
Whilst this did not ultimately affect any analysis, it has been corrected and
the line is n now divided such that less than 79 characters are used on any
line. |
608848 |
Analytical Workflow - Modification is done for the warning message related to the members in
which combine parameter is used for codes IS 13920 2016 as well as 1993.
|
758059 |
Analytical Workflow - The ASCE7 wind load generation dialog has been updated to ensure that the
wind speed value is not being reset to the default value when the dialog is
opened. |
812511 |
Analytical Workflow - The tool provided in the Utilities>Structure Tools>Beam/Plate
Connectivity, has been refactored in order to improve the performance of the
tests performed and reduce the significant time taken to check larger models.
Note that the tests remain the same, but it is just the time taken to perform
the checks has been reduced. |
872188 |
Analytical Workflow - The tool that has been provided to assist in removing duplicate node, in
the ribbon Utilities>Geometry Tools>Node Tools>Duplicate Nodes... has
been updated such that if the option 'Remove All Duplicate Nodes' is selected,
the program will validate that any nodes that are being deleted will transfer
any objects that are connected to it onto the remaining node. |
886158 |
Analytical Workflow - The tool that is provided when a selected set of objects has been copied
and then pasted into the main structure window has an option to select a
'Reference Point'. This displays the data in the clipboard in a small graphical
window from which the required node point can be picked. If the clipboard model
needs to be rotated, then the keyboard arrows can be used as controls. These
have been updated in order to match the actions they perform on the main
structure model. |
895872 |
Analytical Workflow - The list of options for the TRACK parameter for use with the legacy French
steel design code, CM66 in the steel design parameter dialog, has been
corrected to show the two options of 0 for the summary output and 1 for the
full output. |
932077 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used with the loading tool 'Primary Load Type', which can be
used to redefine the load type of the defined primary load cases has been
updated to account for any reference load cases that may be defined.
Previously, if the model contained reference load cases, then these would
erroneously get updated. |
948749 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that is used to display the cross section of a profile on the
Properties sheet of the Member Property dialog (also known as Member Query) has
been updated in order to better display the cross section of a taper member
such that it is now better proportioned. |
948796 |
Analytical Workflow - When working in the Analytical Model Workflow with a model that has been
defined using the Physical Model Workflow, the data that has been directly
produced by the Physical Model Workflow is intentionally locked so that any
changes do not adversely conflict with the physical model. Data currently not
produced/managed by the Physical Model can be added and edited. The
modification of plate releases is one such attribute that should only be
managed by the Physical Model Workflow, however, was not being locked. This has
been addressed so that the definitions of releases on plates is now managed by
defining the requirements on the appropriate surface in the Physical Model.
|
957190 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used in the GUI to allow editing of uniformly distributed
seismic weights for a number of codes, namely, NRC 2010, GB 50011-2001, GB
50011-2010 and Colombian NSR 2010 has been updated to allow the editing to take
place which was previously being blocked and thus required these weights to be
modified in the Editor. |
961468 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that determines the centre of gravity of a profile defined in a
user table, type GENERAL, using a series of profile points has been updated to
correct the method that determined the offset from the original specified
points to the final profile points that ensure that the origin of the profile
points is at the ordinate 0,0. Previously, this issue would result in a 3D view
of the section being located offset from the centroidal axis, but did not
affect the analysis. |
966192 |
Analytical Workflow - When working in the Analytical Model Workflow with a model that has been
defined using the Physical Model Workflow, the data that has been directly
produced by the Physical Model Workflow is intentionally locked so that any
changes do not adversely conflict with the physical model. Data currently not
produced/managed by the Physical Model can be added and edited. Member
Attributes can be specified in the Physical model and should be locked. This
has been addressed thus member attributes should be specified in the Physical
Model. |
968575 |
Analytical Workflow - The Plate Properties dialog (also known as the Plate Query dialog) has been
updated to display the details of the releases that have assigned to the
selected plate. |
973825 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that allows members to be assigned Member Attributes, has been
updated to address an issue which would occur if there were multiple instances
of the STAAD.Pro application open with different models. The tool would only
operate on the model associated with the first instance of the application that
was opened. Now this has been updated so that the tool will operate on the
model associated with the instance of the application that it was launched
from. |
979315 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine used by the parametric model mesh generator has been updated to
operate with a node generation tolerance using the value specified in the
View>Options>Tolerance dialog. This addresses an issue where the defined
parametric model and mesh settings would result in meshes not being created due
to the close proximity of nodes which now are not generated. Note that if the
mesh still fails, then setting a larger tolerance may solve the issue. |
979970 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that processes the STD file during a file open process has been
updated to address an issue in which the model includes a number of wind load
definitions, but they are not defined sequentially from Type 1. This could
occur if say the first definition has been commented out. Processing this
command structure would cause the GUI to crash when attempting to edit the
definition in the Load and Definitions dialog. This situation has been
addressed. |
987763 |
Analytical Workflow - The method used by the Beams Table to display the assigned material has
been updated to better account of when the member is a segmental part of a
physical member and has been assigned its material as part of a PMEMBER
CONSTANT command. This is purely for information in the GUI and did not affect
the analysis. |
990898 |
Analytical Workflow - The routine that manages the addition of loading in a model has been
updated in order to allow the Load Values Table to be dynamically updated as
new loads are added using the Load & Definitions dialog. Previously if the
Load Values Table was open and a new load added, this would result in the
application crashing. |
991418 |
Analytical Workflow - A fix implemented in V22 Update 11 to address an issue in setting the
material properties of a defined taper section which is being edited has been
found to impact the routine used to define timber materials. A new material was
being assigned an Aluminium classification. The correction has been modified so
as to avoid the noted side effect. Note that the side effect had no impact on
the analysis. |
993262 |
Analytical Workflow - A number of labels displayed in the Time History Definition dialog have
been found to not update in line with various changes made in the dialog. The
routine that manages the redrawing of the controls has been updated so that all
the labels do get updated as required by any changes made. |
118092 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topic in the OpenSTAAD section for Getting Started with Python has
been updated to provide additional guidance on how list of values which are
represented in the form of arrays can be accessed using OpenSTAAD
methods. |
488015 |
Documentation and Printing - The user documentation relating to the Section Wizard module has been
updated to clarify that the warping constant cannot be determined for built up
sections defined in Section Builder. |
488046 |
Documentation and Printing - The current set of seismic codes and parameters that are supported by
STAAD.Pro have been updated in the OpenSTAAD user documentation
Load.AddSeismicDefinition() |
488096 |
Documentation and Printing - The OpenSTAAD documentation has been updated to clarify that if there is a
wish to include the details of the functions available with OpenSTAAD as a
reference item, then the Macro Editor app, Excel or tool being used to develop
a macro, should be opened in Administrator mode in order to add this with
StaadPro.dll. |
488216 |
Documentation and Printing - The User report item 'Beam End Forces Envelope' has been updated to address
an issue which was not correctly labelling the envelope result as +ve or -ve.
|
488224 |
Documentation and Printing - The topic TR.5 Set Command Specification has been updated to clarify the
action taken by use of the command SET NO SECTION, such that there will however
be no beam, plate or sold results available in tables or diagrams, |
488360 |
Documentation and Printing - The routine used by the Plate Query dialog to produce a printout for the
corner stresses has been updated to ensure that the alignment of the text in
the tables of 12 stresses is correctly initialised each time a printout is
generated. |
488537 |
Documentation and Printing - The help documentation descriptions of post-processing layouts have been
added in "Postprocessing and Reports > P. Postprocessing Workflow > P.
Pages in the Postprocessing Workflow". |
547311 |
Documentation and Printing - The Ribbon Control Reference documentation in help topics Add New Load
Items dialog>Nodal Load tab and Plate Loads tab have been updated to reflect
the options that are provided in the Add New Load Items. |
573447 |
Documentation and Printing - The routine that is used in the analysis engine to produce data that can be
used in the User Reports for AISC 360/05/10/16 and CSA S16-09/14/19 has been
updated to ensure that it includes a control character that allows for the User
Report to be configured to use a filtered list of members with the Range
option. |
627922 |
Documentation and Printing - Enhancement the help of API CreateSteelDesignCommand, add index
description of DesignCode and CommandNo. |
648867 |
Documentation and Printing - The details in help topic, TR.31.8.3 Mass Model Using Reference Load, has
been updated to clarify the way in which the loading defined in mass or dead
load reference cases will be used to determine the mass models used with
dynamic load cases and the centre of mass for rigid floor diaphragms |
698595 |
Documentation and Printing - The help documentation for Translational Repeat dialog and 3D Circular
dialog have been updated to clarify that the maximum number of steps supported
for these tools is 99 steps. |
738760 |
Documentation and Printing - The details of the function Property.GetBeamSectionPropertyTypeNo() have
been updated to clarify the meaning of the return values. |
775108 |
Documentation and Printing - The details of the function Load.SetLoadActive() has been updated to
clarify that the return value of the function as either true in the specified
load case has been made the active case, or false for a general failure.
|
790843 |
Documentation and Printing - User Reports for the summary of members that have been designed with the
Eurocode EN1993-1-1 (i.e., TRACK 0), have been updated to address an issue
which was preventing them from being included in the report and only the
heading was being printed. |
798022 |
Documentation and Printing - The documentation for the OpenSTAAD function
Property.GetUserProvidedTableSectionProperties() has been updated to clarify
the meaning of the property values that are extracted into an array in an order
depending on the section type. |

EN1993-1-1, and IS 800-2007 |
875191 |
Documentation and Printing - The Physical Model Workflow help topic displayed with the Options dialog
has been updated to remove the section on ISM. Note that the ISM functionality
is now provided with the iTwin Services control and the Options for controlling
this routine is provided within the control itself rather than the Options
dialog. |
895178 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topic TR.32.11 Repeat Load Specification has been updated to
include details of the REFERENCE LOAD command equivalent to the REPEAT LOAD
command, but which operates on primary load cases. |
896555 |
Documentation and Printing - The details of the function Design.CreateDesignBrief() has been updated to
clarify the various values that need to be entered to specify a given design
code. |
913509 |
Documentation and Printing - The help documentation topic; General Engineering Theory > G.16 Load
Generator > G.16.2 Seismic Load Generator has been updated to clarify that
after the base shear is calculated, it is distributed to the various levels
above the support level and up to and including the roof. The load is applied
as lateral loads on the nodes at each level in the specified axis and this load
can then be utilized for analysis and design. |
914240 |
Documentation and Printing - Additional clarification has been added to the help topics that relate to
the User Table Sections, Modeling > M. Properties and Specifications > M.
Section Profiles > M. User Table Sections, in providing confirmation as to
which properties are calculated and those that would need to be entered
manually if the Calculate button is provided and clicked. |
933495 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topic G.17.2.8 Advanced Nonlinear Cable Analysis has been updated
to clarify in the notes that this analysis method should not be used with
control/dependant nodes or floor diaphragm definitions. |
936993 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topic TR.37.3 Nonlinear Cable Analysis has been updated to clarify
that the requirement to specify the analysis command and a CHANGE command after
each primary load case only applies when using the BASIC method. This is not a
requirement for the ADVANCED method which can solve multiple primary load cases
using a single analysis command. |
949061 |
Documentation and Printing - The Physical Model Help documentation topic Home > Ribbon > Catalog
Ribbon Tab > Create: Seismic Load Definition dialog has been updated to
clarify the meaning of the ACC parameter and that 0.05 represents a 5%.
Additionally, the description of the checkbox for 'Include Natural Torsion' has
been modified to provide a clearer statement. |
949088 |
Documentation and Printing - The routine that processes the data for inclusion in a User Report has been
updated to better handle assigned support definitions. Previously, although
this is a pre-analysis data set, it would only be provided as a selectable
option if there was a successful analysis. Now, it can be included whether or
not the analysis has been performed. |
955719 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topic:- Home > Ribbon Control Reference > Beam Tools tab
> Beam dialog, has been updated to clarify the meaning of each of the eight
'Physical Properties' as well as the four material properties reported in the
dialog in the Property sheet. |

Documentation and Printing - An additional verification example has been added for the Indian steel
design code IS800:2007 to validate the design of tension and bending for tube
profiles using the LSD method. |
978304 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topics on the OpenSTAAD functions
Design.GetSteelDesignParameterBlockCount(),
Design.GetSteelDesignParameterBlockNameByIndex(), and
Design.GetMultipleMemberSteelDesignRatio() have been updated to clarify the
scope of these is currently limited to use with the AISC 360-16 design code.
|
981497 |
Documentation and Printing - What's New notification strings has been updated for RAM-SBeam to specify
correct licensing information. |
487677 |
Generic GUI Updates - The table of angle profiles in the Chinese Steel profiles database,
ChineseSections.db3 has been updat3d to clarify that the values displayed for
inertias relate to the principal axes rather than local Y or Z axes as these
will depend on whether the section has been added using the ST or RA keyword.
Note also that this data is used in the Chinese steel design and not for the
analysis. |
487785 |
Generic GUI Updates - The values of plastic modulus, Z, of Pipe sections in the South Korean
section database have been corrected. Note that these values are not used in
the analysis, but could be used during a member design. |
488048 |
Generic GUI Updates - The view control buttons 'Spin Left' and 'Spin Right' have been updated to
be consistent with the rest of the view controls in that they define the change
in the viewer's position. Hence a spin left is that the the viewer's position
has rotated anti-clockwise. |
488187 |
Generic GUI Updates - The file reading routine has been updated to address an issue that would be
encountered when reading a model with a design block for ASCE 10-1997
parameters. This resulted in the application inadvertently reporting that the
parameters DMIN and DMAX were not supported if detected in these blocks,
although the analysis/design would process them if an analysis was performed.
However if the file was saved, these parameters would have been removed.
|
488206 |
Generic GUI Updates - A number of profiles defined in the Canadian timber database, Douglas
Fir-Larch, Hem-Fir, Northern Species and Spruce Pine Fir, have been updated to
replace a space character in the STAADname field which is not supported in the
current STAAD name definition. A similar update has been performed on a number
of profiles with the same issue in the Indian sections database, Channel table.
|
488223 |
Generic GUI Updates - The configuration option to use black as the diagram background has been
slightly modified to set the labels colour as green. Previously this was left
black and would thus not be visible without having to manually reset the colour
in the Diagram options dialog. |
488238 |
Generic GUI Updates - The routine used to create a 'cut-section' view, Utilities>Structure
Tools>Cut Structure, using a specific node has been updated to filter out
any beams that have been defined as a curve and fall outside the defined plane.
|
488330 |
Generic GUI Updates - The routine used to read the data provided in the Solid Round tables in the
Dutch steel database file has been updated. Previously when this was displayed
incorrectly in the member query and Properties table and no stress results were
reported. |
488378 |
Generic GUI Updates - The routine used to parse the datafile during a file open process has been
updated to include a validation on the definition of physical members to ensure
that they meet the same requirements as included in the analysis engine.
|
488381 |
Generic GUI Updates - The GUI parsing routine that is used when a file is opened has added an
additional validation for node, member, plate and solids ids to ensure that
they do not exceed the current limit as defined in the help topic, GS. Limits
on Models which states that these should be less than 1,000,000. Additionally
if during a renumbering this threshold is reached a warning is now provided and
the process cancelled. |
488385 |
Generic GUI Updates - The routine that is used to set the colour of the finite elements has been
update to allow plates defined by different plate thicknesses or specifications
to be coloured differently. This is defined by using the ribbon command
View>Options>Set Structure Colors. After clicking the Entities button,
Select Plates and the option Color by... Plate thickness. The various
definitions defined in the model are displayed and can be set by double
clicking on the coloured box. Note that this colour is used in the structure
view as the plate outlines or when the option in the Structure Diagrams dialog
setting Fill Plates/Solids is checked. |
488429 |
Generic GUI Updates - The labels used for column headings in the Section Database manager for
angle profiles has been updated to use 'Rmin' to clarify that this data
represents the minimum radius of gyration about the principal axes. |
488441 |
Generic GUI Updates - The display of members defined with a solid rectangle or circle profile in
the main window when defined as 'Full Sections' in the Structure Diagrams
dialog, has been updated in order that the ends of the members are shown as
closed rather than open. Full section rendering for solid rectangle and circle
section enhancement. |
488509 |
Generic GUI Updates - The process that assigns the rotation to a member defined with the REFJT
option when using a SET Z UP for the vertical alignment of the model, has been
updated to address an issue which failed to account for the change of local
axes system utilized by members when ZUP is defined. |
488522 |
Generic GUI Updates - The details of profiles obtained from the Dutch Pipe table and assigned to
a member that is reported in the Member Property dialog (also known as Member
Query) has been corrected such that the data displayed in the Properties sheet
corresponds to the selected section. Note that this was purely an issue in the
way this dialog displayed the data and did not affect any part of the analysis.
|
911747 |
Generic GUI Updates - A number of the routines that are used to select and display finite
elements in the GUI have been updated to account for the presence of the
recently introduced offset option that can be applied to the finite elements.
These routines include the drawing of contour maps and displacement diagrams.
Note that the offset from the base nodes is indicated with dashed lines. Also,
when selecting plates, the test for validating whether the plate has been
clicked also includes the offset defined on the plate. |
923437 |
Generic GUI Updates - The table of solid round profiles has been removed from the Bulter cold
formed steel database as these are not supported. |
955722 |
Generic GUI Updates - The Member Properties dialog (also known as the Member Query dialog),
reports the values of some section properties in the Properties sheet. Fora
profile defined as a 'Taper' or 'I Section', the value of W reported, which
should be the maximum width of the profile, was reporting the average width of
the top and bottom flanges. Now this has been corrected and the maximum with of
both is reported. |
963838 |
Generic GUI Updates - The link provided in the application backstage Help>Ideas, has been
redirected to the landing page for the all the applications offered by the
STAAD and RAM teams so that it is possible to best direct the location where
your idea can be posted. |
972814 |
Generic GUI Updates - The method used to handle a file during the open process has been updated
to address an issue that could occur with larger files in that might freeze
during the file open process. |
996164 |
Generic GUI Updates - The version of Connection Client included installation, which is used as
the method to allow for proper used of STAAD.Pro, has been updated to v11.05.

488227 |
Interoperability - The routine used during an export of a STAAD model to an ISM repository
using the Struclink module has been updated to aggregate any instances of the
same property even if they are defined in multiple command lines. |
488269 |
Interoperability - The routine used in the StructLink module to export an analytical model to
a an ISM repository has been updated to ensure that if a support has been
defined with springs then this type is defined in the repository. |
960269 |
Interoperability - The routine used in the Physical Modelling Workflow to provide data to the
iTwin model using ISM has been updated to include details of the defined
stories. This means that the model can be used in a design project where the
floors are to be designed using RAM Concept. |
970398 |
Interoperability - The routine used to import an iTwin model from an ISM repository was
limited to repositories that had the cross sections defined in less than 100
definitions as typically a model would use the same profile definition on
multiple members. Attempting to import a model that had in excess of 100
profiles would be terminated and not imported. This limitation has been removed
and there is no reasonable limit now to the number of profiles that can be
defined in the ISM repository. |
992061 |
Interoperability - The iTwin Services module used to produce the interoperability data (ISM)
has been updated to version 2.2. This has modified a number of internal
processes and the layout of some configuration settings. |
487612 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Load.GetLoadAndFactorForCombination() has been updated to
ensure that when an SRSS combination is being referenced, the last value in the
array is that of the overall multiplication factor. |
487713 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Load.GetRepeatLoadByIndex() has been updated to correct the
values returned associated with the requested command index. |
487749 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Geomentry.GetSelectedPLates() has been updated to address an
issue when using the option to return the array in the order of selection, i.e.
nIsSorted=0. Previously repeated use of the function would fail to reset the
array and thus the ids of the initial selection set would be returned. Note
that this did not occur when using the option nIsSorted=1, ie. return a sorted
list. |
487864 |
OpenSTAAD - The method used to update a model using the function
Load.DeletePrimaryLoadCases() has been modified to separate deleting primary
and reference load cases into separate commands "DeletePrimaryLoadCases" and
"DeleteReferenceLoadCases" |
488080 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Geometry.SelectMultipleBeams() has been updated to ensure that
after the function call the view is refreshed to display the new selection.
|
488109 |
OpenSTAAD - The routine used by the function Results.GetStaticCheckResult() has been
updated to ensure that it includes the effects resulting from wind load
definitions. |
488110 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Load.AddSeismicDefMemberWeight() has been updated to address
an issue which caused the function to fail when defined as specified in the
help documentation. |
488157 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Results.GetAllPlateCentrePrinicipalStressesAndAngles() has
been updated to address an issue which was preventing it from including the
details of angles of the principal forces on the top and bottom surfaces.
Additionally a new function
Results.GetAllPlateCentrePrinicipalStressesAndAnglesEx() has been added which
provides the same information, but spread over two arrays rather than a single
array as used in the original function. |
488249 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Property.GetBeamConstants() has been updated to correctly
return the value of damping which was previously being return with the value of
thermal expansion. |
666063 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Results.GetMemberDesignParameters() has been updated to
provide details of the design parameters in a given parameter block. Note that
this function should be used in conjunction with the data obtained from the
object OSMembSteelDgnParams. |
775115 |
OpenSTAAD - An additional nine new support functions have been added to provide access
to control Automatic Spring Supports. The commands being:- 1)
CreateElasticFooting() defines an Elastic Footing command and assign nodes to
the command 2) GetAllElasticFootingNodes() returns all nodes assigned to
elastic footing commands 3) RemoveAllElasticFooting() Removes all instances of
this command 4) CreateElasticMat() defines an Elastic Mat command and assign
nodes to the command 5) GetAllElasticMatNodes() returns all nodes assigned to
elastic mat commands 6) RemoveAllElasticMat(). This will remove all instances
of this command. 7) CreatePlateMat() defines a Plate Mat command and assigns
plates to the command 8) GetAllPlateMatPlates() returns all plates assigned to
any plate |
816613 |
OpenSTAAD - A significant update has been applied to the function
Load.GetMemberLoadInfo() as this was previously failing to return any
meaningful data. It has been modified and an unnecessary parameter 'loadTypoe'
has been removed from the function. Refer to the OpenSTAAD function definition
for more details on the format of the parameters and how they should be
defined. |
883585 |
OpenSTAAD - The method used by the OpenSTAAD function Property.AssignBetaAngle() has
been updated to re-use any exisiting beta angle command that has been defined
with the given angle. |
885863 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Load.AddElementPressure() has been updated to handle
both full surface and partial surface loads. If the values of varX1, varY1,
varX2 and varY2 are al zero, then the pressure will be assigned as a full plate
load. Additionally a new function Load.AddElementTrapPressureEx() has been
added that allows for the more complex trapezoidal loading on plates by
defining the pressure at the various node points. Note that this option
currently is not provided in the GUI. |
910826 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Load.ModifySeismicDefinitionParams() has been
updated in order to support the current range of seismic codes. Each code
supports a different set of parameters, the OpenSTAAD function documentation
indicates all the parameters that each code supports, noting where a parameter
may be defined using a keyword, how that should be defined with the function.
|
910869 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Load.AddSeismicDefinition() has been refactored to
address a number of issues that prevented it from being able to generate the
necessary commands. |
946465 |
OpenSTAAD - Two OpenSTAAD functions to select physical members in the model,
Geometry.SelectMultiplePhysicalMembers() and Geometry.SelectPhysicalMember()
have been updated in order to ensure that they update the selection in the
model and missing documentation on these functions has been added. |
976678 |
OpenSTAAD - The function Load.GetAssignmentListForLoadType() has been updated along
with the documentation to clarify that Gets the list of entities that have been
assigned to a load command in the active load case. This command is identified
as the Load Type, which has a defined reference number (see below) and an index
number starting from 0. That is, if a load command has been defined 10 times in
the load case, then index 0 identifies the first instance of the command and
index 9 identifies the 10th. Note that the documentation for functions
Load.GetLoadTypeCount() and Load.GetListSizeForLoadType() have also been
updated to clarify correct use of the functions. |
113464 |
Other Workflows - Two enhancements have been provided to address areas in the GB50017-2017
which are not specifically identified. These are to provide bi-axial bending
for non-compact members and adding a check for members being designed as truss
but also include significant end moments that will not be accounted for.
|
487801 |
Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection Design workflow to determine the
bearing area of a base plate has been updated to address the situation where
the force is all or nearly all direct force with little or no moment. Hence the
distance to the neutral axis is extremely large, tending to infinity. This
applies to all design codes with baseplate templates. |
488500 |
Other Workflows - The Storey Stiffness table provided in the Earthquake Workflow has been
updated to address an issue in the method used to report the value of the sum
of stiffness's in the lateral directions and effective ratio, Total K. The
values were being recalculated without being first reset if the table was
resized by dragging on one of the table's corner or edges. |
774082 |
Other Workflows - The processing of the values for an AISC HSSB gusset plate in the Steel
Connection Design Workflow has been updated to correct the assignment of the
angle being that from the girder to the brace rather than an angle
perpendicular to the girder to the brace. |
877230 |
Other Workflows - The routine used with the Canadian smart template; Truss-Gusset-branch, has
been updated to address an issue which would occur with some braces failing to
be connected to the main beam and those that are, are assigned an impractical
connection. This issue has been addressed resulting in a connection more in
line with those created using other codes. |
892516 |
Other Workflows - The warning message provided in the Steel Connection Design Workflow for
members of different sizes that have been assigned a splice connection using
the Australian/ New Zealand AS/NZS splice template has been updated to clarify
the cause of the assignment failure. |
911264 |
Other Workflows - The default parameters associated with the 'Truss Gusset Branches' template
for to the European EN 1993-1-8 design code in the Steel Connection Design
Workflow has been updated to address an issue which would occur if attempting
to define a connection that included 6 branches that were formed from Tee
sections which would fail to be created. |
911281 |
Other Workflows - The default parameters associated with the 'Truss Gusset Branches' template
for to the European EN 1993-1-8 design code in the Steel Connection Design
Workflow has been updated to remove 'Connection Type' which is an unused
setting in this template. |
912855 |
Other Workflows - The Steel Connection Design Workflow has been updated to utilise the RAM
Connection module v13.8 which includes, complete bracing/branch connections for
EN1993. Now all brace/branch shapes and connectors are allowed for EN1993 for
bracing and truss connections. New directly bolted coped web braces to gusset
plate. New brace to gusset interface connection for I shape section braces
where the brace is partially coped to be directly bolted to the gusset. New
directly welded gusset connection. Vertical bracing connection enhancements to
allow much larger brace angles (70°) and allow 0° for Y gusset braces As well
as a number of resolved issue. See RAM Connection CONNECT Edition V13 Update 8
(v13.8.0) Release Notes - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD | ADINA -
Bentley Communities for more details. |
924513 |
Other Workflows - The Steel AutoDrafter Workflow has been updated to address an issue with
regard to setting configuration settings. In the Drawing Style Manager various
settings can defined including the Drawing Unit as either English or Metric.
However, if these settings were modified, whilst the Steel AutoDrafter Workflow
would operate correctly, a file was left open and if the main application
configuration was later modified to say set the Base Unit, then this would
cause the application to crash as it was attempting to use the open
configuration file which was locked by the AutoDrafter Workflow. This situation
has been addressed. |
926872 |
Other Workflows - The management of user defined templates in the Connection Database of the
Steel Connection Design Workflow has been updated to ensure that when templates
are being added/removed from the base collection, then only user defined
templates can be added or removed. Standard templates provided during the
installation cannot be removed. Note that previously, if an attempt was made to
remove a standard template, this would cause the application to crash. |
963037 |
Other Workflows - The design report provided in the Chinese Steel Design Workflow for channel
sections that have been defined in a User Provided Table (UPT) has been updated
to correct an issue which the Flange Thickness and Corner Radius values were
inverted. Note that this was only an issue in the report, the design itself was
not affected by this issue. |
997021 |
Other Workflows - The descriptions Yp, Zp, Up and Vp has been clarified in the Section Wizard
reports. That being the measurements from the principal axes to equal area axes
origin measured in the Y, Z, U and V axes. |
926850 |
Physical Model Workflow - The processing of the physical model into analytical parts has been
enhanced with an addition test to validate the analytical model after meshing.
Now, if due to any of the surface definitions and tolerances, any of the
analytical plates fails to be generated correctly, a message reporting the
failed object using the ids of the surface, analytical element and element id
in the STD file. Previously, such situations would result in an analytical STD
model which would not reopen in the Physical Workflow. |
961031 |
Physical Model Workflow - The recent introduction of the method to design steel beams in the Physical
Model Workflow using the RAM SBeam application has been updated in order that
the launch of this application now loads the default settings if modified
previously using the values set in the 'Criteria>General...' dialog.
|
967338 |
Physical Model Workflow - The method used by the Physical Model Workflow to update the STAAD (*.STD)
data has been updated to address an issue which would occur if the Physical
Model included a profile defined multiple times but with different material
properties. The process would fail to allow the STD file to be modified. This
issue has been addressed. |
974191 |
Physical Model Workflow - The method that is used to manage the display of the components in the
Structure Wizard have been updated to prevent a rare occurrence that has been
reported in which the properties panel was un-docked and when the application
re-opened, could not be accessed. To overcome this, the option to un-dock the
properties panel has been prevented, although it is still possible to minimise
the panel to provide additional space on a small screen. |
974483 |
Physical Model Workflow - An additional validation has been introduced in the spreadsheet tables. The
value of a cell can be used to populate any other in the active table by right
clicking and selecting the option 'Fill Column' or 'Fill Selection' (when
multiple rows have been selected). However, if the identified cell had not been
set, this would cause the application to crash. Now, the method has been
extended to support the assignment of blank data as a valid data entry to be
assigned as is thus supported. |
975885 |
Physical Model Workflow - The new physical model creation routine has been updated to address an
issue which would occur if the new model was over-writting an existing
analytical model and also specified with a seed file. This was resulting in the
base analytical model being created, but the physical model was not. This has
been addressed. |
988645 |
Physical Model Workflow - The routine used to generate the analytical model from the physical model
has been updated to remove physical member collinearity test. Previously,
meshing of the physical objects into analytical parts could introduce midpoint
nodes that merge into an existing node within the configuration tolerance and
then members fail the collinearity check. |
988649 |
Physical Model Workflow - The file open routine has been updated to allow a model that has defects
identified in the STD file to be opened in the Physical Model Workflow.
Previously the errors in the STD file would have to be addressed first before
the Physical Model Workflow could be opened. Note that if required, there a
toll provided in the Physical Model Workflow that allows the entire STD model
to be reset when returning to the Analytical Workflow. This removes all data
not directly managed by the Physical model. |
487806 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine used to display base pressures has been updated to allow the
use of the enhanced contouring method as provided for other stress diagrams.
|
488051 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine that creates the data for displaying the axial data in the
post-processing workflow has been updated when reporting the intermediate
forces for a dynamic steady state analysis to use the method used with other
forms of dynamic analysis. Previously it was using the static analysis method.
|
488068 |
Post Processing Workflow - The method used to display contour maps on plates has been updated to
ensure that if a partial view of the model has been created using 'View
Selected Items only', and the Plate Stress Contour option 'Contour Based on
Visible Entities Only' has been selected, then the contours are re-calculated
based on the maximum values for the included plate set. |
488125 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine that manages the results data in the GUI has been updated to
address an issue which would occur if a model was defined with a response
spectrum load which included the option to generate individual modal response
cases (IMR), then the file modified and this option removed. This issue would
result in an error message that the results were incompatible and no results
would be accessible in the post processing workflow. However, if the model was
closed and reopened the results for the model would be displayed. This
management issue has been addressed. |
488179 |
Post Processing Workflow - The Post Processing module has been updated to ensure that the time based
displacements on nodes associated with solid objects can now be displayed.
|
488205 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine used to display the torsion diagrams, i.e. MX has been updated
and rather than being displayed using an envelope method (similar to the axial
forces), it is now displayed as a line with the positive and negative values,
i.e. a clockwise or counter-clockwise value being displayed in the member local
X-Y plane similar to the major axis moment, MZ. |
488262 |
Post Processing Workflow - The method used to report the values of Max Stress in the Beam Combined
Axial and Bending Stresses table, has been slightly modified such that if there
is no tensile or compressive stress along the member for a given load case, the
entry will be shown with 0.0 as the stress and distance. Previously these cells
were left blank. |
488358 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine that is used to provide a default set of colours for the Design
Results when using the Detailed Diagrams option has been refactored to be more
practical depending on the number of bands that have been specified. However it
is still possible to set the band thresholds and any colour for any band as
before. |
488382 |
Post Processing Workflow - The details of a design to the legacy German design code DIN 18800 that are
reported in the Member Properties dialog (also known as the Member Query
dialog) has been updated to include the details for the design properties as
reported with other steel design codes. |
488392 |
Post Processing Workflow - The details in the Beam Force Detail table have been updated to indicate
N/A for members that have been defined as curved as the intermediate force
details are currently outside the scope of the program. |
488461 |
Post Processing Workflow - The plate stress contour maps have been updated to ensure that if the
option 'Index based on Centre Stress' in unchecked, i.e. the contour maps are
based on the corner stresses, then contour maps can be displayed for, 1) Max
Top (Principal Major Stress), 2) Min Top (Principal Minor Stress), 3) Max
Bottom (Principal Major Stress), 4) Min Bottom (Principal Minor Stress).
|
488493 |
Post Processing Workflow - The Results Setup management of group definitions has been updated to
better support groups of different types, e.g. nodes, members, etc). If a group
of nodes is selected, this will only filter the node results tables, (i.e.
displacements and reactions) but not other object types. However, if the group
is of type beam or plate, then as well as tables of these types, the nodes
tables will also be filtered based on the nodes that are used to define the
objects in the selected group. |

Post Processing Workflow - The results table Beam Relative Displacement Detail has been updated to
address an issue that would occur if a member has a maximum displacement of
0.0, this was leaving the expression Span/Max as without any content. This is
basically tending to infinity with a divide by zero issue, so instead the
expression Span/Max will report this as '>10000' |
488520 |
Post Processing Workflow - The values reported as 'Dist' for the maximum displacement in the Max
Relative Displacements sheet in the Beam Relative Displacement Detail table,
has been corrected to show the value as the absolute distance in the current
length unit as shown in the column header, rather than fraction of its length
which was reported previously. |
706027 |
Post Processing Workflow - The stress details reported in the post processing Beam Stress Layout for a
tapered section in a model that has been defined with a SET Z UP command, has
been updated to ensure that the appropriate elastic section moduli are being
used for the components of stress about the members local axes. |
931432 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine that manages the data for the Report>Column Transfer Force,
has been updated to operate when multiple instances of STAAD.Pro and multiple
models have been opened. |
940762 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine that displays various results in the Graph windows provided in
the Beam Results>Graphs layout. These provide the option of displaying the
peak cross section combined axial and bending stress as an envelope diagram by
right clicking on the graph and selecting the 'Stress' option. However
previously the colour used on this specific graph was not that indicated in the
dialog. This is now corrected, and the graph will use the colour indicated.
Notre that this colour can be changed by double clicking on the panel in the
Diagram dialog. |
962404 |
Post Processing Workflow - The method used to display the displacement and deflection diagrams has
been updated to assist in including the details of the offsets. Where a member
or plate has been defined with an offset, the displacement and deflection
diagrams now indicate the presence of the offset with dashed lines similar to
that included in the standard model view. |
968483 |
Post Processing Workflow - The details of loads that are determined by the analysis process from a
seismic definition are included when there are analysis results available.
However, the loads generated by the Canadian seismic code NRC 2010 were not
being displayed. This has been addressed. |

The Editor, Viewer andOther Modules - The IntelliSense processing of the commands and keyword has been updated
to better determine and display available options. |
488185 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The DXF import routine provided in the Freesketch module of Section Wizard
has been updated to improve on the import of profiles that have been defined
with small arcs. These are discretised into a series of points, the coordinates
of points that are created on the curve are defined based on the arc and the
Preference>Misc setting for Circle Division. The routine that resolves the
arcs to point has been updated to produce better profiles. Note that this
modification applies use of installations on physical (rather than virtual)
machines. |
488232 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The method used in the Section Wizard used to determine the plastic
modulus of a profile in the Section Building module has been modified to
improve the accuracy of the calculation by using the centroid of the profile as
the base point. |
488233 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The CIS/2 module has been updated to improve the mapping of profile names
commonly used in US and Canadian tables for WT, MT and ST profiles.
Additionally the process of importing tee sections created from wide flange
sections which do not map directly to a database section are created as user
profiles using the dimensions to 2 decimal places. Also, support for profiles
in the Brazilian database has been added. |
488270 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The "HSS_Circle", "HSS_Sqr" and "HSS_Rect" tables in ASTM database included
in the Section Wizard module have been updated to the data published in AISC
shapes database V15.1 |
488346 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The IntelliSense routine that manages the UNIT command has been updated to
better handle the two parameters of length and force unit. As the command can
support either a length unit followed by force unit or a force unit by a length
unit, now the routine will provide access to the force units after a valid
length unit has been selected or a provide access to the length units after a
valid force unit has been selected. |
940216 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The routine used in the Section Wizard module, Section Builder to
calculate the plastic properties, Wplu and Wplv has been updated to better
account for location of the geometric origin and centroid. |
966104 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The File>Export to STAAD.Pro User Table routine provided in the Section
Builder module of Section Wizard has been updated to address an issue of
specifying the value of warping constant, HSS, cannot be determined and thus
set to zero. |
987351 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The routine that is used by the User Table Manager to read data from an
external UPT file, has been updated to better manage the unit system such that
when displaying profiles and if new properties are calculated, the values are
determined using the unit system defined in the UPT file. |
