487596 |
Post Processing Workflow - The Design Results table displayed in the
Utilization layout has been updated to support filtering by range defined in
the Results Setup dialog when the deign code used has been AISC 360-16. This
design code being currently unique in that it is able to display the results
from multiple checks/select commands. |
487600 |
Analytical Modelling Workflow - The processing
of timber profiles from a timber catalog has been updated to address an issue
with unit conversions when adding the Young's modulus value E (an attribute
associated with timber profiles) that has been defined in the profile entry.
This conversion error has been corrected. |
487601 |
Post Processing Workflow - The format of utilization ratio values that are
displayed in the Design Results table has been modified to show values less
than 0.001 in a scientific notation. |
487625 |
Post Processing Workflow - The tool that generates 'Results Along Line' has
an option to Create Report. for a selected cutline. This generates an item
which can be included in a user report. However the data that was made
available to the report was for a different result type than the line was
displaying at the time. |
487646 |
Physical Model Workflow - The logic associated
with processing of a physical model that has an error in the associated
analytical data has been updated. When the model is opened and an error in the
STD data is detected, the option to correct this in the Editor will be
displayed but if this option is selected, then the Physical Model view of the
model will not be opened simultaneously which occurred previously and caused
conflicting logic in STAAD.Pro as either the Physical model view or the Editor
should be open at any given time. |
487658 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The IS800:2007 steel design routine has been
updated to trap an error which would cause the design to crash if the a web
stiffener parameter TSP is included and specific combinations of spacing and
web thickness were encountered. |
487698 |
Physical Model Workflow - The processing of a response spectrum that has
been defined to the Indian IS1893 code has been updated to ensure that if a LOG
interpolation is specified, that is set in the analysis specification. |
487739 |
Physical Model Workflow - The processing of user defined profiles specified
in external files has been updated. Previously editing the physical model and
resaving the analytical data would introduce additional references to the
external file rather than reusing the existing definitions. |
487793 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine used to draw the graph of a cutline
in the Results Along a Line layout has been updated to address a unit
conversion issue which was used to display the value of a reference line on the
graph by holding down the 'Ctrl' key and hovering the mouse over the graph.
|
487816 |
Generic GUI Updates - The method used to reselect a selection of objects
using the method in the ribbon Select>Cursors>Previous has been updated to
ensure that if the previous selection of objects were solids, these will become
re-selected. |
487840 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine that is used to display a cutline
graph in the Results Along Line layout has been updated to ensure that the
horizontal axis terminates at the end of the last element. Previously the axis
would continue to meet the vertical axis and could result in an extended
representation of the last element. |
487855 |
Generic GUI Updates - An issue on processing tiny beta angles by the Member
Query dialog has been addressed. Previously when attempting to display these
values would result in a buffer overflow and the program would terminate.
|
487899 |
OpenSTAAD - The sample macros, boxgirder.vbx and concretebeam.vbx both
include images with paths that has been updated to reflect the current default
install locations for these files. |
487904 |
Other Workflows - The steel connection design workflow has been updated in
the processing of members that are used in a 'Chord Branches' connection such
that where the branches are reporting moments, then a warning is displayed as
this connection type is expecting a shear only connection so moment would not
be considered. |
487937 |
Post Processing Workflow - The Design Results table in the Utilization
layout has been updated to allow the data to be sorted by 'Allowable Ratio'.
Previously the data could be sorted by 'Beam' (which simultaneously selects all
the members in the table), 'Actual Ratio' and 'Normalised Ratio'. clicking the
row header a second time inverts the table i.e. between low to high, then high
to low. |
487974 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of the parameters SS (soil type)
and ST (structure type/category) used with the IS 1893 2022 static seismic load
definition has been updated to ensure that only the valid range of values are
processed and any value outside that range including a negative value, is
reported as an error. |
487991 |
Other Workflows - The method used to indicate that a gusset connection has
been assigned to a joint has been modified to improve its relationship to the
members associated with it. |
488000 |
Post Processing Workflow - The method used by the annotation control to add
details of the support reactions to the graphical view of the model has been
updated to address an issue that would occur where the support definition
changed between load cases. |
488012 |
Generic GUI Updates - The method that is used to display the label of a
wide flange that has been marked as split in its centre to form a Tee profile
from the US database has been updated to ensure the same logic is used both
when the profile is created and when read from a file. That is for US sections,
the name is modified to show the reduced section profile. Note that tee
sections created from other county databases retain the original profile name.
|
488014 |
Interoperability - The ISM options provided for non physical models in the
File>ISM backstage panel have been disabled for files created with physical
models. The ISM interop for these should be obtained using the iTwin Services
in the Physical Model Workflow. |
488037 |
Analytical Workflow - The GUI management of the Control/Dependant commands
(previously Master/Slave) has been updated to address an issue which prevented
the definitions from being deleted using the 'Delete' keyboard key (although
did operate with the 'Delete' button in the Specifications dialog. |
488077 |
Other Workflows - The method provided in the Steel Connection Design
Workflow for selection of connections created using Connection Tags in the
Analytical Model workflow, and with the same tag name as the selected
connection, has been updated to ensure that all the relevant connections are
selected. |
488089 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The routine used to calculate the moment
magnification factor in NZS3404-1997 has been modified to improve the
calculation to determine alpha-m on a member segment that is only restrained at
one end. Where the moment distribution varies linearly, alpha-m is set to 0.25
if the slope of the moment curve is 0, otherwise it is set to 1.25, if it is
not linear, then it is set to 2.25. The update has improved the determination
of linearity of the moment curve by looking at the values of the quarter
points. |
488111 |
Documentation and Printing - The processing of the list of load cases
included in a user report included with the Job Information item has been
updated to ensure that if the list is split due to pagination, then the
continuity of the list of loads is retained. Previously one or two load cases
could be excluded from the list, although the report would include their
content. |
488243 |
Documentation and Printing - The routine that generates a TXT file from a
defined User Report has been updated to ensure that if the report includes
steel design details does not cause the routine to crash. |
488267 |
Interoperability - The routine used in the analytical workflow to update a
model from an ISM repository (i.e. Update from Repository) has been updated to
ensure that the release specifications are identified and used in updating the
STD model. Note that this is provided for legacy purposes and the iTwin
Services provided in the Physical Modeller is recommended for any new
interoperability. |
488284 |
Physical Model Workflow - The text used to display the column headers for a
number of spreadsheet tables have been updated to allow them to be localised
making them more convenient for designers using a localised version of
STAAD.Pro. |
488286 |
Generic GUI Updates - The routine that displays the values of loads in a
combination that derive from a load case which has been included by virtue of a
REPEAT LOAD command has been updated to account for both the factor of the load
case in the combination and the factor of the repeat load command. Note that
this combined factor was correctly being evaluated by the analysis, it was just
an issue with the value being displayed in the GUI. |
488338 |
Printing and Documentation - The User Report routine used for including
steel design details has been updated to better format the design data when a
TRACK 2 option to address situations which resulted in some text being
overlapped. |
488435 |
Generic GUI Updates - The logic used to validate a uniformly distributed
load has been updated to address an issue where the load is intended to be the
full length abut offset laterally so as to generate a constant torsion. This
would require the command to be defined with the parameters of the magnitude of
the load followed by the start and end positions of the load along the length.
Finally the dimension of the lateral offset. In order to mark this as a load
that extends from the start to the end, the positions of 0 should be entered
for both start and end. However, this was seen as an error by the GUI, although
solved correctly by the analysis engine. This has been addressed and no longer
reported as an error. |
488516 |
Generic GUI Updates - The option to use a black background for displaying
the model means that the colour pallet used for displaying the model and
results should account for the dark background. The axial results FX uses a
cross hatch pattern which for tensile forces would not display as it is dark, a
lighter colour should be set. |
532797 |
Physical Model Workflow - The icons used as quick view orientation
shortcuts in the lower right corner of the graphical view window have been
slightly tweaked so that their descriptions and actions are consistent with the
ribbon bar icons shown in the View>Navigate ribbon. |
541644 |
General GUI Updates - The application configuration option 'File Format>
Joint Coordinates Significant Figures', has been updated to support values from
3 to 10 significant figures as was provided in earlier versions of STAAD.Pro.
|
545349 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of taper members to AISC 360-16 has
been updated to include a check to validate that if the option to check for
seismic provisions is set using the SEI parameter, then an internal test will
validate that seismic results exist before attempting to process them. |
571508 |
Interoperability - The routine used to import models with iTwin Services in
the Physical Model workflow has been updated to ensure that loading defined in
the local axes is retained as local axes loading for analysis. |
576153 |
Generic GUI Updates - When a new analytical model is created with a
filename of a physical model that already exists in the named folder, after
accepting that it is ok to replace the existing model data, both earlier
analytical as well as physical data are now deleted. Previously only he
analytical data was replaced leading to a situation which could reintroduce the
data of the physical model. |
582133 |
Generic GUI Updates - The database of Brazilian steel profile sections has
been updated to correct the column heading 'StaadName' for Angle sections which
prevented these sections from being used in the program. |
583958 |
Documentation and Printing - The details of members that have been designed
to the European steel design code EN1993-1-1 and have a utilization ratio of
zero caused by being unloaded, are now reported in the Design Results table in
a User Report with their profile and ratio as zero, rather than with the entry
N/A which was reported previously. |
588959 |
Post Processing Workflow - The member query dialog provided for obtaining
data on a physical member has been updated to use a more reliable method to
determine the displacements resulting on the analytical parts that constitute
the physical member. |
593979 |
Analytical Model Workflow - Add New Reference Load Items that is displayed
from the Loads and Definitions dialog in the Loading layout has been updated to
remove the option to create 'Surface' load items as these objects are not
supported. |
605173 |
Physical Model Workflow - There have been three key updates to this
workflow in that 1) Specific axial settings on members has been added to
classify them as TRUSS or CABLE and with the CABLE classification, the cable
tension can be specified. Note that to utilise this a suitable cable analysis
should be specified. 2) The Structure Wizard scripting language has been
updated to support the definition of surface descriptions. This has been added
into the template 'Modular Tank RCDC' so that a meaningful description can be
assigned to each created surface. Note that this description is then used as
the description of the corresponding parametric model created in the STD file.
3) An option to toggle the viewing of surface regions has been added which by
judicious use can make selecting surfaces easier to manage. |
605618 |
Physical Model Workflow - The routine that manages the status of connection
tags has been updated to prevent a crash which would occur if an assigned
connection tag is then subsequently deleted. |
618710 |
Documentation and Printing - The format of node displacements that are
displayed in the User Report has been modified such that values less than 0.001
will be displayed using a scientific notation. |
620885 |
Analytical Model Workflow - The logic used in the dialog used for editing
Defined section profiles from the Section Properties dialog has been updated to
allow values that were previously given a value to be reset to zero.
Previously, the dialog only saved values that were non zero. |
627982 |
Generic GUI Updates - The method used for displaying the 3D profile of a
tapered wide flange (I section) in the GUI has been updated to improve its
positioning for profiles defined with significantly different flange sizes.
|
646154 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The loading method for applying pressure over the
full surface of a plate has been extended to now include loading in a projected
axis. In other words the more inclined a plate is to the axis the lower the
intensity resulting from the apply load. This mirrors the similar projected
loading method provided for members. |
646321 |
Analysis and Design Engine - The routine for selecting a suitable profile
for a steel T shape cut from a wide flange section and designed to the Indian
steel code IS 800:2007 has been updated to correct the calculation that was
determining the location of the centre of gravity of the new section. Note that
this was correctly determined when the section was checked rather than selected
in the design. Additionally the details of the minor axis inertia, Iy, has been
added for the profile, IM6004002040 which was previously missing in the
supplied profile databases. |
666048 |
Generic GUI Updates - Testing of STAAD.Pro on a Windows 11 platform has not
identified any issues relating to this operating system. |
668061 |
Generic GUI Updates - The application startup routine has been updated to
address an issue which occurred on computers that have a non-standard
configuration of 'My Documents' which would cause the application to crash.
|
674123 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of members subjected to tension forces
with AISC 360-16 have been improved with a new method that allows the
specification of a tensile effective length using a new TSL parameter rather
than using LY or LZ. However, should it be required to use these effective
lengths (which are provided for compressive and bending checks), this can be
performed using another new parameter SRT. |
675283 |
Other Workflows - The Steel Design Workflow has been updated to clarify
that although it is possible to define a table in the Connection Database where
the Connection Type is of 'Shear and Moment connections' and the Joint Type is
defined as 'Empty', this is is not supported in STAAD.Pro. These templates are
used for design of bolt or weld groups. This capability is only supported in
the standalone version of RAM Connection. Attempting to add this type of
template into a STAAD collection would cause the program to crash. |
675402 |
Printing and Documentation - The method provided in the backstage to
display a report setup, i.e. File>Report>Setup, has been updated to ensure that
it also possible to print the report directly from the displayed dialog.
|
681045 |
Physical Model Workflow - The
validations on the definitions of a 2012/2010 IBC seismic load has been updated
to ensure that the values for the 'x index' in the two lateral directions has
been updated to ensure that decimal values can be entered. Note that this
limitation did not apply to other provided codes. |
681382 |
Analysis/ Design Engine - The
AISC 360-16 design of C and MC channels from the AISC database has been updated
to read the torsional value J from the database and only calculates the values
from the profile if there is no value defined. |
682539 |
Physical Model Workflow - The option of creating physical models has been
disabled if the chosen vertical axis system is defined to be Z UP. |
686465 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design routine that processes the AISC 360-16
steel design results has been updated when the torsion checks are specified, to
account for an issue that would occur if a member fails the primary utilization
checks which are performed separately ahead of the torsion checks. In this case
the failure of the basic utilization means that the torsion checks would not be
performed. At the end of the design routine however, all the design results are
processed and as torsion had been requested, but not produced, would result in
an application crash. |
690382 |
Other Workflows - The Steel Connection Design
Workflow has been updated to use the RAM Connection V13.6 version of the
component which adds additional gusset and tubular connections |
697878 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of steel members to the AISC 360-16
design code has been updated to address an issue with regard to the slenderness
when both tension and compression are checked. In such cases it was only the
compression slenderness that was being reported even if the most onerous
criteria was a result of the tension slenderness. Note that this criteria is
provided not to ensure structural integrity, but to assure a degree of
stiffness to make lateral movement unlikely. |
698226 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design of tee sections that have a slender web
to the AISC 360-16 design code has been updated to ensure that the effective
width reduction factor c1, is taken to be 0.22 rather than 0.18 which as
defined in table E7.1 of the code. |
708038 |
Documentation and Printing - Additional verification example files added
into the help documentation which adds more coverage of the Canadian steel
S16-19 and Indian wind loading to IS 875 |
712309 |
Post Processing Workflow - The table provided to display the design
utilisation results in the Utilization layout, has been updated such that if
the design has been performed to AISC 360-16 and thus can display multiple
results sets, it can now be filtered to show a limited range of members by
using the Range option in the Results Setup dialog. |
721425 |
Analytical Model Workflow - The
automatic load combination generator has been updated to allow the value of
notional load factor to be specified as well as the directions of consideration
for the application of notional load when the REPEAT LOAD method of combination
is selected. Additionally a method to determine the value of notional load
based on number of floors is provided, this follows the method published in the
Chinese steel design code. |
736187 |
Printing and Documentation - References to the STAAD.Beava module that was
deprecated in STAAD.Pro V22 U8 have been removed from the user documentation to
be inline with the current scope of the application. |
737629 |
Physical Model Workflow - The Structure Wizard module has been updated such
that if a template is used to generate multiple models in a file which have
parametrically defined sections such as rectangles or circular solid sections,
then each new model will generate new instances of the section profile.
Previously the same profile reference would be reused meaning that any change
in the profile would not be reflected in the structure. With each model
creating its own copy of the profiles, now each model has the profiles as
required. |
738560 |
Physical Model Workflow - The method used to generate the material data for
surfaces from a physical model has been modified to improve the format of data
created by surfaces which have the same thickness, but assigned with different
materials. |
739463 |
Other Workflows - The Chinese Steel Design Workflow has been updated to
better support models which have load cases that have been solved with a
p-delta analysis and thus use an un-factored effective length by judicious
assignment of design parameters to solutions as either first order or p-delta.
Additionally a new method has been added to the analytical loading layout to
automatically generate the mass model as new reference cases or as loading into
the first dynamic load case. |
740322 |
Utilities - The User Tools> Eurocode Load Combination Generator macro has
been updated to reflect a change in the AddRepeatLoad OpenSTAAD function that
the factors should be defined in a double precision array. |
740588 |
Other Workflows - In the Steel Connection Design workflow, the RAM
Connection Input dialog has a button to define the collection of load cases and
combinations and thus create the design envelope. When this dialog is launched,
it should display all the load cases and combinations currently in the
collection as selected, but this was not populating the selection meaning that
they had to be reselected each time. Now the dialog is pre-loaded with the
current selection each time. |
743013 |
Physical Modelling Workflow - The routine that is used to display a beam in
a physical model which has 'Axial End Offsets' assigned has been updated to
address an issue which would occur if the member was defined in an internal bay
between columns resulting in the start of the beam being extended to start of
the first bay. The algorithm that determined the extent to which it should be
offset has been updated. |
745301 |
Interoperability - The iTwin Services routine used to pull data from an ISM
repository has been updated to ensure that importing an angle profile that is
not mapped to a standard catalog profile is generated with the profile
dimensions defined in the repository. |
745541 |
Physical Modelling Workflow - The creation of non-standard section profile
of type 'Generic' are saved into a User database which should be available to
be used in any new or existing model. However, the profiles were not being read
and thus did not appear as a profile in the 'User Datanbase' type 'Generic'.
The profiles are now read and available. |
745589 |
Analytical Model Workflow - The routine that manages processing of the
section properties dialog has been updated to handle a case where a dialog that
lists section profiles has been opened from the ribbon Database>Country pull
down rather than the Section Property dialog directly. Previously if this
dialog from the ribbon was opened and whilst still open the Properties dialog
was closed, this would cause the application to crash. |
746297 |
Generic GUI Updates - The GUI parsing routine for cable analysis commands
has been updated to differentiate between the requirements of the steps
required in a basic cable and advanced cable analysis. Previously an error is
reported with an advanced cable analysis if less than 5 steps were defined even
though this is entirely valid. The limit only applies to a basic cable
analysis. |
746651 |
Other Workflows - The design routine used in the Chinese Steel Design for
members assigned a generic section profile (i.e. GENERAL USER TABLE or defined
PRISMATIC type GENERAL) has been updated to improve the determination of
profile thickness. |
747133 |
Printing and Documentation - The user reports that includes output for
Canadian steel design to CSA 2001/2009/2014 have been updated to address an
issue where a return character was not being process correctly resulting in
overlapping text in the produced output. Additionally if a Utilization Ratio
Table was included, this was getting formatted on top of the detail results.
These formatting issues have been addressed. |
747151 |
Post Processing Workflow - The Member Query dialog box has been updated to
ensure that when displaying the design results from a Canadian steel design
(any year), in the Steel Design sheet, then the values displayed for the design
forces are converted correctly as per the current unit setting. |
747152 |
Generic GUI Updates - The export method provided for creating a VRML file
has been deprecated. |
749899 |
Other Workflows - The Chinese Steel Design Workflow has been updated to
better account for the section profile to account for the rolling radius of the
design of profiles from the Chinese database. |
759781 |
Post Processing - The Deflection sheet in the Member Query dialog box has
been updated to ensure that the results displayed in the table for Global
Deflections are properly hooked up to the vertical slider provided and the
value returned for the position defined by the horizontal slider is correct.
|
760301 |
Physical Model Workflow - The routine that is provided to allow a surface
object to be sub-divided into multiple separate surface objects has been
updated to ensure that it accounts for releases on the surface which previously
would have caused this routine to crash the program. |
761797 |
Physical Modelling Workflow - The routine that is used to prepare the
application as a model is loaded has been updated to ensure that if the
configuration file has been corrupted in some way, then a new one will be
created using the default settings rather than causing the application to
crash. |
761840 |
Physical Model Workflow - The routine used to process material data defined
in physical models created in an old versions of STAAD.Pro has been updated to
ensure that if it contains a non-standard material, this is handled correctly
in converting to the current format rather than causing the application to
crash. |
762040 |
Analysis Model Workflow - The routine used in generating a wind load to the
Chinese code for Circular Chimney Structures has been updated to better handle
the shape factors which are specified to be non-linear. |
763722 |
Generic GUI Updates - The database value provided for APL Apollo RHS and
SHS sections have been updated to remove a formatting style which used a comma
as a thousand separator and thus large values would be truncated to simply the
thousand value. |
765831 |
Interoperability - The process used for importing a model with iTwin
Services into the Physical Model has been updated to catch a situation where
the data in the ISM repository has a distributed load defined on a member but
does not define the end distance, hence the end distance is before the start
distance. Now these are imported such that an end distance of zero is taken to
be the end of the member. |
765941 |
Printing and Documentation - The
verification example "SNiP SP16 2017 - Channel section with UDL" has been
updated to account for a change in the value of the torsional constant IX that
is now read directly from the database rather than being derived from the
section dimensions. |
766187 |
Physical Model Workflow - The process that is used to update the load cases
in the analytical model with the load groups defined in the physical model has
been updated to ensure that a consistent cross referencing is maintained. Any
new or deleted load groups being aligned to the reference load cases in the
analytical model. |
766437 |
Other Workflows - The method used to process the profile data from the
analytical model when creating connections in the Steel Connection Workflow has
been updated to ensure that the profile section data is re-processed so that if
a user profile is re-defined and a connection already defined, then the
connection data is updated with the new profile settings. |
767010 |
Other Workflows - The design of GENERAL USER TABLE profiles in a Chinese
Steel Design check, has been updated to account for the shear strength checks
which previously caused the design to crash. |
769847 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The routine that performs design of members to the
Canadian steel code S16 has been updated to improve handling of user defined
wide flange profiles. STAAD allows for the definition of these sections to
include optional values for the width and thickness of the bottom flange. If
not provided, then these are taken as the same for the top flange. However the
S16 design routine would forcibly attempt to read these values and thus if not
present, the design would crash. It now uses the same logic as elsewhere and if
not entered, takes the lower flange to be the same as the upper flange.
|
769863 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The output header provided for members designed to
the Canadian steel code S16-2019 has been corrected to show the correct year.
Previously, the header was shown as S16-09, although the design was performed
as to the 2019 code. |
770801 |
Generic GUI Updates - The framework used with the File Open/Save/Save As
dialog has been updated to use the latest .Net WPF framework. |
