487774 - The processing of joint loads that use a INCLINED REFJT
option has been updated to address an issue in which if applied to a range of joints, then
the direction of load was being resolved for the first node and the same direction used
for all other nodes.
487893 - The routine used by the analysis engine for determining
the load applied to members subject to wind load on open structures, has been updated to
better account for members that have an applied beta angle.
488137 - The analysis engine has been updated with a revised
'Note' when it is observed that self weight has been assigned and it appears that part of
the model might have been missed. Previously this was reported as a 'Warning', although
this is clearly an engineering judgement and the note provides information to the engineer
in case this was not the intent.
702960 - The processing of joint groups has been updated to
prevent names of groups that include GEN being processed as a GENERATE parameter which is
not relevant to a group command and thus would report as an error during an analysis.
709396 - The command LOAD LIST has been updated in order to
support the option ALL when used with the ENV (i.e. envelope) form of the command.
Previously this would have terminated the analysis which would have reported an error.
766112 - The routine used to generate the output of member
section forces has been updated to clarify that there is a limitation in that the effect
of temperature loads determining the section forces does not get accounted for when
reporting section forces with a direct analysis.
785947 - The routines provided for the Netherlands National Annex
for steel design to Eurocode 3 has been updated to the NEN-EN 1993-1-1+C2+A1/NB
publication.
995133 - The method used in the Indian steel design module IS 800
2007 LSD and WSD routines that processes a Tee profile to be designed as either rolled or
welded using the STP parameter has been updated to ensure that the section classification
of the profile when considering the flange as an outstanding element. A similar
modification has been made when considering the outstanding legs of double angles.
1055642 - The Steady State Analysis method has been updated to
ensure that when the Frequency/Amplitude data pairs are supplied as opposed to the formula
method, then they can be used with a Harmonic Ground Motion load definition.
1082557 - The AISC 360-16 steel design code has been enhanced
with a new parameter H36 which allows for an alternative method for checking for HSS
profiles subject to combined torsion, shear, flexure and axial force, other than that
published as eqn H3.6.
1086305 - The main routine used during a member design has been
refined to address an issue which resulted in each member being checked for co-linearity
multiple times unnecessarily and thus could result in increased analysis/design time.
1087227 - The SELECT OPTMIZE routine that operates with the AISC
360-16 steel design has been updated to catch a situation when the applied forces are such
that a suitable profile cannot be found from the relevant table, then results from the
largest profile will be reported although this will show that the profile fails.
Previously this situation will have caused the analysis/design process to crash.
1091170 - The Steady State analysis routine has been updated to
terminate if no amplitude definition is included in a harmonic ground motion definition.
1098475 - The Steady State analysis routine has been updated to
support definitions of the frequency-amplitude data sets as outlined in the help
topics, TR.37.6.6 Harmonic Ground Motion Loading and TR.37.6.7 Harmonic Force Loading
such that these now support large definitions which extend over multiple lines by use of
the line continuation character.
1107413 - The routine used by the analysis engine to
automatically switch from an in-core to an out-of-core method as identified by the SET
STAR value (see TR.0 STAAD Commands and Input Instructions and TR.5 Set Command
Specification) has been corrected to use the logic as stated. Previously, it was switching
to out-of-core based on the limitations outlined for a 32-bit engine.
1167993 - The routine used to determine the loading on frame
members resulting from a wind load has been extended to support models that have been
defined with the Z axis as vertical.
1176400 - The design of single angles to the AISC 360-16 design
code has been updated to improve the determination of slenderness which was being
restricted to being a member of a space truss, but by including a new parameter IMM and
using the E5P parameters, the appropriate determination of slenderness according to the
code can be determined.
1196899 - The recently added method for defining Enclosed Zone
Loads has been enhanced to provide options to assign the loads resolved into the global
axes.
1204072 - The routine used for outputting the results from a
Eurocode EN 1993-1-1 steel design for single and double angle profiles defined in a user
provided table (UPT) has been updated to avoid printing the output for clause 6.2.1(7)
twice. This duplication occurred as a result of checking clauses 6.2.9 and 6.2.1(7).
However, it should only perform one as determined by the ELB parameter.
1213593 - The method used in the Canadian steel design routines
for CSA S16-19 2009, 2014 and 2019 has been updated to correct an issue for members in
uni-axis bending, in which the value of Cr as defined in clause 13.8.3 could fail to
correctly identify the shape of the bending curve when the end moments were zero. This
could lead the program to assign an incorrect value of K for the design.
1225794 - The design of wide flange profiles with cover plates
has been updated in the AS 4100-1998 and NZS 3404-1997 design codes to correct an issue
which calculated the reference buckling moment (Mo) using cl 5.6.1.1 (a) instead of cl
5.6.1.2.
1232633 - The routine used in the Canadian steel design codes CSA
S16 2009/2014 and 2016 that determines the factored moment of resistance in clause Cl
13.6.1.e.i has been updated. For singly symmetric Class 3 sections (unequal flange UPT I,
T-section) and Class 1, Class 2 T-sections with tip in compression, the term Mp should be
set with the value of My which was not happening.
1247164 - The routine that processes the material properties in
the steel design module has been updated to change a restriction that would terminate the
design of a member if the value was outside what was deemed to be an expected range, e.g.
less than 200 GPa. Now the design will report this with a warning, but continue with the
design.
1247470 - The output of a member designed with AS 4100-1998 has
been updated to correct an issue in which the axial force FX was not that from the
critical load case. However, note that the design itself did use the correct value.
1255098 - The output for the Canadian steel design modules CSA
S16 (all versions) has been updated to better support reporting the value of Lyr.
1266088 - The processing of MEMEBR TRUSS and MEMBER OFFSET
commands has been modified to correct an issue introduced in STAAD.Pro 2023 in which only
the last instance of these commands was being processed.
1275311 - The routine used in the AISC 360-05 steel design code
that processes the seismic provisions has been updated to address an issue which would
result in the analysis crashing if there was insufficient design criteria data assigned to
a member that has been set to check for seismic provisions.
1277828 - A new method has been added in the steel design routine
for AISC 360-16 to provide an alternative method to account for the requirements of
section E5 when designing single angles in compression.
1314172 - The routine used when processing a MEMBER ATTRIBUTE
command has been updated to address an issue when the attribute 'BRANCH' has been assigned
to a list of members using the TO keyword to form a list, e.g. "MEMBTYPE" "BRANCH" LIST 1
TO 10 and the list included additional member numbers which may or may not include the
TO keyword and that list extends onto one or more lines using the line continuation
character, i.e. '-'. In such cases, the program was failing to process the full command
and would result in reporting an error in the output file.
Analytical Workflow: (15)
487799 - The routine used to edit wind load items that have been
defined in a load case in converting them to/from a two way load to one way loading has
been updated. In certain situations the block header FLOOR LOAD or ONEWAY LOAD was not
correctly when the modified file was saved resulting in the file reporting an error with
the floor load command when reopened or analysed.
488217 - The details of the torsional modulus 'C' for the Legacy-
RHS table in the Australian cold formed steel database have been updated to reflect the
values as published in AS 1163-2009.
488319 - The routine that is used to edit a Floor Load Definition
has been updated to ensure that if a floor load definition is deleted, then any
references to that floor load definition are removed from any load case that it has been
included in.
488458 - The routine that is used to display a vehicle from a
moving load definition has been updated to account for when the directions of travel
(defined by XINC/YINC/ZINC) is given a negative value.
635976 - A new tool has been added in the Design workflow that
can be used to determine the effective length and factor parameters LY, LZ, KY and KZ
according to AISC rules in order to assist in speeding up the production of design data.
1101285 - The routine used to display Notional loads that have
been defined in a file has been updated to corrected to address an issue which failed to
correctly process notional loads defined in the Z axis. Note that this was only a display
issue.
1105272 - The Loading>Definitions>Direct Analysis
Definition dialog has been updated to address an issue which would occur in that if the
dialog was open and an alternative Loading dialog was selected without closing or adding
the Direct Analysis item, then part of the dialog would remain. This was purely a cosmetic
issue, but has now been addressed.
1204289 - The Section Properties> Values table has been
updated to address an issue with regard to the values reported on wide flange profiles
defined with cover plates. When such a profile was created, then the values reported were
of the base wide flange section only. However, if a file is opened that includes this same
definition, then the values would be of the profile including the cover plates. These are
the values as used for analysis. Now the values reported in the table are reported of the
full profile plus plates when the section is created as well as when it is opened from an
existing file.
1216402 - The method used to display the values of
Brazilian hollow pipe and tube profiles in the Section Properties>Values table and Beam
Properties (aka Member Query) has been updated to use the correct indexes. Note that this
was only an issue in the GUI and did not affect any analysis or design.
1222322 - The wind load Generator method included in the Loading
Ribbon has been extended to include the Chinese wind loading code GB5009-2012. This offers
similar functionality to the method previously offered in that it creates wind definitions
and load cases, but rather than adding the Shape Factor as a multiplier for the applied
wind definition in the load case, separate wind definitions are created with the profiles
accounting for the shape factor. Additionally the option to determine the value of the
vibration factor, beta-z, has been extended to include alternative methods previously
limited to only the High-tower structure method.
1236680 - The routine that manages the assignment of beta angles
assigned to members in the Analytical Modelling workflow has been updated to ensure hat if
multiple beta angles are created and assigned to the same members, then the
assignment list is maintained with the last assigned beta angle being saved on each member
with the model.
1252067 - The routine used in the Composite Deck layout that
saves the assigned attributes of a deck has been reformatted to better account of the use
of small numbers. Previously any value entered that was less that 0.0005 would be saved as
zero. This would be a problem when the current length and force units were feet, meters,
kNs or KIP. The revised logic will handle small values irrespective of the unit systems
being used.
1260099 - The Steel, Concrete and Aluminium Design dialog boxes
have been updated to remove the Select Parameters option. This was provided to reduce the
list of parameters that would be displayed in the Define Parameters dialog. However, in
reducing the available parameters, when adding those that are retained could result in the
wrong parameter actually being added.
1276188 - The Steel Design assignment dialog provided in the
Design layout has been updated to remove a Parameter Selection button which was provided
to filter the list of available parameters in the Design Parameters dialog, but was found
to cause problems in creating design commands if it was used.
1287118 - The factors provided in the Automatic Load Combination
tool for the 'ASCE 7 -2016' combinations have been updated to correct the rules associated
with clause 2.4.1-6 which had failed to reduce the effect of the wind load by 60% meaning
it had been using factors of 0.75 rather than 0.75*0.6 = 0.45.
1334276 - The routine used by the Nodes table to support pasting
data has been updated to address an issue that allows data to be added to the end of the
table when there are gaps in the current set of node numbers.
Documentation and Printing: (6)
533682 - The new User Report Workflow has been updated to provide
a picture management tool, details of a steel design checks, option to provide a contents
page, extended details of seismic data and additional loading data options for snow
loading, direct analysis and pushover.
1086533 - A new facility has been added to the Help backstage
which provides a method to display a Quality Statement that relates to the specific
version of STAAD.Pro being used.
1246685 - Section D1.A.9 Seismic Provision Checking per AISC 341
has been updated to clarify how the design of members accounts for the value of Ry.
1247289 - The help documentation topic TR.32.12.3 Generation of
Wind Loads, has been updated with additional clarification the logic used in determining
the panels subject to wind loading to provide an insight as to why certain structural
arrangements might not be suitable for this operation.
1265933 - The processing of the user report item Statics Check
Table has been updated to remove the application of the load case filter so that now it
will report the statics check for all primary load cases as was done in the previous
version of the user report tool.
1272600 - The routine for including the tables of Quantities by
Section and Quantities by Material has been updated to ensure that the correct conversion
unit is used. Previously the mass unit conversion was used instead of weight unit.
Generic GUI Updates: (14)
487896 - The routine that parses the input file when it is opened
has been updated to catch models which define new coordinates after a CHANGE command. This
is not a supported data format and is reported as an error with the new/modified joint
coordinates being ignored.
1196870 - An additional tool has been added into the main
application backstage for users who have a current QA&R subscription that allows for
validation of the results produced on a local workstation when compared to the results of
these models which have been produced by Bentley.
1197380 - The new standard database schema added in STAAD.Pro
2023 has been extended to support 4 new cold formed shapes, namely, CF angles (with or
without lips), CF channels (with or without lips), CF Hat and CF Zee profiles.
Additionally databases from AISI (US), GB (China) and IS (India). have been added.
1204290 - The logic used to display the arrows of node loads
applied as an inclined load has been updated to catch situations where the vector of the
inclined load aligns with a global axis. This only affected the display of the arrows, the
values would be displayed and the analysis performed as the load is defined.
1210088 - The backstage link in Help section for Technical
Support has been updated to provide a direct link to the Bentley Service Case system where
issues can be registered directly.
1238414 - The routine that manages the Dynamic Zoom, Pan,
Magnifying Glass and Zoom Window functionality has been updated to ensure that when if is
called from the Quick Commands menu, then the commands can operate as when called from the
ribbon menu.
1245243 - The routine used to display Structural Tooltips has
been updated to correct the method used to display beam end releases.
1252981 - The setting of scales of loading has been updated to
correct an issue that was introduced in STAAD.Pro 2023 which prevented the loading
diagrams to be reset in the Loading Layout. Note that the scale is automatically set when
first entering the layout in order to provide some indication of loading based on the
largest load of each type.
1256381 - STAAD.Pro has been extended to support a specific
license for accounts who subscribe to the QA&R programme.
1260129 - The use of Bentley logos in STAAD.Pro has been updated
to the new corporate styles.
1275996 - The Display Options>Force Units>Rotation
selection drop list has been updated to correct an issue which prevented units other than
the 'Rad' unit to display and be selected.
1286071 - The plastic modulus properties defined for the H Shape
table in the profile database China (GB 2023) have been updated as these were referring
to the elastic properties. Note that these values are not used in the analysis itself, but
would be used in a Chinese steel design.
1308664 - The details in Help Backstage has been updated to
provide better clarity on the assistance options that are available.
1315561 - A situation has been addressed which would attempt to
report analysis results if the model opened the Editor from the Post Processing Workflow
and made changes which invalidated the results. Whilst the data was correctly disposed of,
the GUI would attempt to initiate displaying the results only to find there were none to
display and report that to the user. Ow the program will automatically return to the
Analytical Workflow if any changes are mode to the model in the Editor.
1334281 - The routine used to parse profile names defined in the
new standard profile databases has been improved to better handle profile that have been
defined with spaces in their names.
Interoperability: (5)
1196892 - The iTwin Services included in the Physical Model
workflow has been updated to v2.6.01.01 and iTwin Analytical Synchronizer 23.01.02.64
1220006 - The method used to import an iTwin / ISM model has been
updated in the Physical Model Workflow to improve the logic for accounting for imported
load cases. Due to the requirement that static seismic cases must be defined in the first
analysis set, this logic was being applied to other cases when being imported. This has
been modified to only be applied to load cases defined as static seismic cases.
1232292 - The method to create ISM files in the Analytical
Workflow has been updated to better handle members defined as tapered wide flange
profiles. An issue occurred if the profile was defined with the dimensions of the lower
flange was zero, to indicate they are the same as the top flange. However, this was taken
to be incorrectly defined during the ISM interop and the property not created. This has
been addressed, however note that the ISM interop does not support tapered wide flange
profiles where the flanges have different dimensions.
1246363 - The routines behind the Section Property Catalog (SPC)
system used by StrucLink has been updated with the following: A crash associated with
clicking the "About" button has been addressed. The handling of custom catalog path naming
logic has been improved.Update from SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 to SQL Server Compact
4.Update SPC DLL to supports high entropy Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).EULA
updated.Assemblies updated are now all strong-named.
1259222 - The method used to push a model to an ISM repository
using the iTwin Services in the Physical Model Workflow has been updated to allow models
that have been defined with a modal load case as part of the design cases. Previously,
this load case would have been filtered out of the ISM load cases and thus resulted in an
error with a reference to a load case that did not exist in the ISM repository.
OpenSTAAD: (1)
1227876 - The function RefershView() has been updated to correct an error which previously caused the function call to not operate.
Other Workflows: (9)
1033424 - The Steel Connection Design Workflow has been updated
to use the DLLs from Ram Connection v2023 (1).
1218153 - A new option has been added to the Chinese Steel Design
Workflow to allow cold formed steel members to be designed to GB 50017-2002. This has been
designed to work with standard cold formed profile shapes defined in the new Chinese Cold
Formed database.
1229070 - The output report created in the Chinese Steel Design
Workflow has been updated to ensure that the formula for the flange slenderness ratio is
included. Note that this was only a reporting issue. It was considered correctly in the
design.
1232238 - The design routines used in the Chinese Steel Design
Workflow have been updated to support the profiles defined in the new standard section
profile databases.
1239167 - The Optimise Design routine in the Chinese Steel Design
Workflow has been updated to address an issue introduced in the 2023 release which
prevented the optimization routine to run as the result status was being reset.
1271053 - The Chinese Steel Design Workflow has been updated to
better handle models which have profiles defined multiple times, but with different
specifications such as angles defined as single (ST) and double (LD) profiles.
1272232 - The Steel Autodrafter workflow has been updated to
support the new Standard profile databases.
1272242 - The Advanced Concrete Design workflow has been updated
to support models that contain members defined with the new Standard profile databases.
Note that the information on such members is not imported to or used in the advanced
concrete models.
1286252 - The options provided in the parameters in the Chinese
Steel Design Workflow has been updated to include an option to consider the clause C0.5 as
part of the stability factors.
Physical Model Workflow: (1)
1259626 - The text used in displaying a preview of a section profile in the Add Section dialog has been updated to better display values which include a decimal point.
Post Processing Workflow: (14)
524656 - The method used to display the displaced position of
plate objects has been updated to account for any degrees of freedom that have been
released on the plate. Note this was previously reported as a Known Issue.
835233 - The range of results available for plate models has been
extended to include out of plane shear forces that have been resolved into the global
planes similar to that provided for global moments and global direct stress.
946999 - The label used to display the reactions of nodes has
been updated to ensure that where a degree of freedom has been released such as with a
FIXED BUT command, then it is marked as FREE. If the value is 0, i.e. has a fixity (or
sprung), but not loaded, then this is shown as a reaction of 0. Note that this issue was
addressed in V22 U12, but not documented.
1081725 - The displacement graphs associated with a time history
analysis that have been defined with the ABS option (i.e. relative to their original
position) have been corrected as previously they were always being reported as REL option,
i.e relative to the position of the supports at a given time step.
1173410 - The routine used to determine the range for displaying
the counter map for plates when creating a new view and only on selected objects has been
updated to address an issue which could prevent the range from being recalculated with the
smaller collection of plates.
1206261 - The details of a design of a concrete beam to the
Indian code IS456- 2000 as reported in the Beam Properties dialog (also sometimes referred
to as the Member Query dialog) >Concrete Design has been updated to correct the value
displayed in the elevation view of the shear reinforcement at the end of the member. This
was displaying the value of the section two before the end rather than the spacing
required at the end of the member.
1209837 - The routine that is provided to allows animations to be
saved as AVI files has been updated to correct an issue which was saving the generated
file in the .STD file location rather than the folder specified.
1210787 - The Pushover output routine that is used to determine
the target displacement for a capacity curve has been updated to correctly label the
Response Spectrum graph which was previously labelled as Demand Spectrum.
1218567 - The routine that is used in the Beam Properties dialog
(aka Member Query) >Deflection sheet, has been updated to account for the current base
unit when set to metric and reporting the displacement on a member at a distance
determined by the slider.
1219459 - The routine used to initiate displaying the model in
the Post Processing Workflow has been updated to better test for the available results
sets which was previously resulting in the program reporting a message 'Plate Stresses Not
Available', with models that have plate and/or solid objects, even though their results
were available.
1222575 - The Geometric Non Linear , Node Displacement Curve has
been enhanced with an option to export the data as the displacement at the end of each
step from the selected node as a text file. If multiple directions have been selected,
then the values in each direction are reported in each axis consecutively.
1259954 - A temporary helper message box is displayed when using
the mouse scroll wheel (whilst holding the control key) to adjust the scales of displayed
results on the structure view.
1313069 - The display of beam results in the Beam Properties
dialog (aka the Member Query) has been updated to better handle load case names which
exceeded 200 characters. Previously if such a load case was selected in the dialog, then
this would cause the program to crash. This limitation of load case name length has been
removed.
1313547 - The display of result plots in the Beam Properties
dialog (sometimes referred to as the Member Query dialog) has been updated to address an
issue where the scaling of the diagrams was not getting updated and resulted in diagrams
not fitting in the allocated space.
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules: (8)
488120 - The routine used to output the values from a Section
Wizard profile into a UPT file has been updated to ensure that very small values would be
converted to exponential format. This issue was addressed in V22 U12, but not documented
488162 - The method used in the ISM routine to update the
supports in an analytical model from an ISM repository has been updated to address an
issue which was not correctly referencing the ids of the new support definitions. Note
that the analytical ISM interop is provided for backward compatibility, it is recommended
to use the iTwin Services in the Physical Modeller for digital ISM interop.
1185783 - The export profiles to a STAAD.Pro GENERAL Section UPT
routine used in the Section Wizard has been updated to ensure that the values reported all
reference the principal axes rather than the geometric axes (i.e. those used to generate
the section)
1206019 - One of the options provided when viewing a database
table in the Section Database Manager is to export the data into various file formats. One
of these formats is the Microsoft XPS format. However, this routine had an issue which
failed due to not including a logo in the document which caused the application to crash.
This has been corrected and now the database table can be exported in this format. Note
that this issue did not affect the export of tables in other file formats.
1215892 - The installer has been updated to include the latest
version of STAAD Foundation Advanced which includes both V9 and the new STAAD Foundation
Advanced 2023 solution for mat foundations to ACI 318
1228241 - The Structure Wizard module has been updated to address
an issue in the Import CAD Model>Scan DXF function which was failing to process a
cancel operation and thus prevented the Structure Wizard from closing.
1325121 - The Automatic Load Combination Manager tool has been
updated to ensure that the GUI displays using the currently selected GUI language.
Previously this was only displaying in English.
1331037 - The routine used to import DXF files into the
Freesketch module of Section Wizard has been updated to better prepare the memory map that
is used which previously could result in the import crashing the program.
