|
666181 |
Other Workflows - The routine that is used by the ribbon
action in the Steel Connection Design workflow that selects the Beam-Splice
Joints has been updated to ensure that if there are beams which do not have
webs that are parallel, these will not be identified. Previously if such joints
were detected, this would cause the program to terminate. (This issue was
addressed in V22 Update 7, but not documented) |
668054 |
Generic GUI Updates - It has been reported that the display of
a model has in some unspecified cases the computer attempted to access data
elements that were not present. The lack of presence resulting in the
application crashing. The GUI has been modified to first test for the data
prior to access and thus will prevent the crash from occurring. |
669073 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The AISC 360-16 steel design routine
has been modified to ensure that when calculating the torsional or
flexural-torsional elastic buckling stress Fe according to clause E-4, the

Analytical Modeling Workflow - The yield and strength data
that is assigned with a generic STEEL material which has been defined in the
model file has been corrected to ensure that these values get assigned. These
values were being reset to zero when the file was saved. This did not impact
the analysis but is used by some post analysis routines which would use their
default values. |
675404 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function GetParametricSurfaceCount()
has been updated to ensure that it operates consistently. Previously data was
not being correctly initalised and if called multiple times, the second and

updated to catch additional situations where this will occur and report this as
an error requiring that extra space be allocated using the SET NL command.
|
683875 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function GetParametricSurfaceInfo()
has been updated to address an issue with the persistence of data which
resulted in data of a model that was opened second in a session, not being
updated with new data. Hence the function was returning the values from the
original model. This has been addressed and opening a new model in a session
will now be used with this function. |
686580 |
Other Workflows - The gusset connection option for horizontal
girder, beam-brace (HBBB) templates in the Steel Connection Design workflow has

Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection
Workflow that is driven by the function Select Joints>Select Special Joints,
and in particular Beam-Girder has been updated to better identify the relevant
joints. Previously a test performed in this process would have caused the
application to crash. |
691112 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The logic used to test when
processing multiple seismic load cases in a model that has multiple analysis
sets defined has been updated to better reflect the specific requirements of
the analysis engine. The requirement is that the seismic load cases must be
included as the first case(s) in its specified set and these must be specified
first before any load set that does not start with a seismic case(s). |
691228 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function
PerformPDeltaAnalysisNoConverge() has been updated so that the default
SMALLDELTA option is included. Note that this is provided for clarity as this
is the default if not included, but by including it using the OS function, the
action taken by the analysis should be clear. |
691231 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function
PerformPDeltaAnalysisConverge() has been deprecated as this method is no longer
supported by the analysis engine. |
692997 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function CreatePhysicalMember() has
been updated to address an functional issue which was previously preventing the
function to generate any data. |

connections that use a Tee profile for a connection such as the Standard Tee
BCF, (basic or smart connections), has been updated to ensure that it can use
the tee profiles from the STAAD databases. |
693808 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The wind loading definition
dialog has been updated to catch a situation where the entry of
intensity/height pairs is incomplete and there are more heights than
intensities defined. In such cases clicking Add on the dialog to save this
incomplete definition would cause the program to crash, |
694309 |
Post Processing Workflow - The method used to collate the data
for generating a plate stress contour has been updated to catch a situation
where the data to be contoured has not been prepared and thus this action would
cause the application to crash. |
694768 |
Other Workflows - The Steel Connection Design workflow has
been updated to include a template in the AISC 360 codes 05/10/16 for 'Fully
Direct Welded BCF (Fully DW BCF)' which is available in the standalone version
of RAM Connection. |

Physical Modeling Workflow - The Assign Section dialog in the
Physical Model Workflow GUI has been updated to allow a number of entries to be
localised and provide a better experience for users of non-English versions of
STAAD.Pro. |
698415 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The management of material data
during a session has been updated. When saving a file, data relating to a
material which had not been assigned to the model would be cleared from the
system memory. However, it would still be displayed in the GUI and if assigned,
would cause the application to crash. This is now addressed and materials
listed but un-assigned after saving the file can be used as intended. |
702092 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The loading routine that is
used to define wind loads to the Chinese wind load GB5009 has been updated such
that if the definition dialog is opened to specify the details, the underlying
dialog which displays the wind profile Intensity/Height data is locked and
cannot be closed. Previously, it was possible to close this dialog with the
definition dialog open which would cause the application to crash. |
702871 |
Other Workflows - The management of windows in the Steel
Connection Design Workflow has been modified to prevent all windows from being
closed, and effectively closing the model. In the Results layout that means
that it is no longer possible to close the connection drawing window. |
703205 |
Other Workflows - Due to a restriction in the design
capabilities of the template 'Moment End Plate- BCF), a test has been included
to prevent them from being assigned to members with slopes. |
703240 |
Other Workflows - The Chinese Steel Design Workflow has been
updated to ensure that the assignment of Design Parameters using the method
'Use Cursor to Assign' is correctly captured. |
707329 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The steel design routine for members
to the Eurocode EN 1993-1-1 has been updated to ensure that for when the
check/select design command has a list of members that include multiple tee
profiles, the section properties for each of the tee profiles are determined
based on the position its own neutral axis. |
708118 |
Other Workflows - The Chinese steel design routine which
determined the values of Ky1, Ky2, Kz1 and Kz2 for columns. When set to FIXED
BUT, these should be set to 0. Additionally if specified as a secondary member
and is a cantilever, this calculation would cause a crash during the design
which has now been rectified. |
708590 |
Generic GUI Updates - The routine used to process the initial
setting up of the ribbon bar has been updated to address an issue which caused
the application to terminate if the ribbon was set as minimised when the
application was previously closed. |
710597 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The European steel design to EN
1993-1-1 has been updated for designing slender tee sections. The method used
previously was incorrectly determining the major axis term when solving
equation 6.62, for bi-axial bending interaction, which could overestimate the
profile capacity. |
714541 |
Other Workflows - The option Group Optimization option in the
design routine for the Chinese steel design code has been updated to ensure
that all the members in a parameter set that has the 'Design Optimisation'
checked , and are also part of a group definition will be optimised so that all
the members end up with the same profile. Note that if a member is in multiple
groups, then the last group it is defined in is used in this operation.
|
715894 |
Other Workflows - The Chinese Steel Design workflow has been
updated such that when an optimized design has been performed and the action to
'Apply Optimized Results' has been assigned, then not only will the profiles be
assigned to the members in the STD file and a new analysis performed, but upon
completion, the design will be performed to show the resultant effect of the
new profile and analysis results. |
716046 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The Eurocode steel design, EN1993-1-1,
for tee sections with slender webs has been updated to ensure the design
properties are calculated accounting for the shift in neutral axis and thus
reducing the effective moment of inertia. |
716322 |
Other Workflows - The Summary Results Table in the Chinese
Steel Design workflow has been updated to better handle sorting the rows by
clicking on the column heading. |
720077 |

performs optimisation, when specified, has been updated to allow the inclusion
of tapered members, both wide flange and tubes, in the parameter set.
Previously their inclusion would cause the program to crash. |
721386 |
Generic GUI Updates - The system used to determine if a model
has been defined with/without a CONNECT Project has been updated to remove the
automatic display of the project chooser if the model has not been associated
with a project. |
727048 |
Physical Model Workflow - The routine used to generate the
finite element meshes has been updated to improve the way physical members are
