Program »
Enhancements: Implemented a parallel equation solver.
Program »
Enhancements: For the AASHTO LRFD load types, Wind on Structure (WS) and Wind on Live Load (WL), processing of load types was enhanced to be consistent with the AASHTO LRFD 8th Ed., and to permit assignment to specific limit states of interest.
Program »
Enhancements: Updated AASHTO LRFD load types EQ, BL, IC, CT and CV to distinguish transverse and longitudinal loading. Now, load types are available for transverse loading (EQT, BLT, ICT, CTT and CVT) and longitudinal loading (EQL, BLL, ICL, CTL and CVL). For backward compatibility, affected load types are stored in the respective transverse load slots.
Program »
Enhancements: Added read-in and processing of options flags for parallelization.
Engine »
Class 3: Corrected assignment of extra member cross section numbers when cap beam is tapered.
Engine »
Class 4: For horizontal pressure calculations on walls in retaining wall models, added buoyancy calculations associated with non-retained water table.
Engine »
Class 4: For vertical pressure calculations on pile caps (base slabs) in retaining wall models, added buoyancy calculations associated with non-retained water table.
Engine »
Class 4: Corrected binary print value for the UI control "Load Combinations for Bent Cap (ONE per Limit State)" in bent forces windows.
Engine »
Class 5: Removed unused engine parameters for superstructure (transverse area, live load height) from printed output.
Engine »
Class 5: Modified the order of out-of-balance force prints to Xp, Yp, and Zp.
Engine »
Class 5: For all engine calls to the intrinsic function, acos(), constrained function arguments to lie between -1 and 1.
Engine »
Class 5: Improved interaction diagram point values when the axial values are zero.
Engine »
Class 5: Clarified header prints of forces in output files for static and modal analyses.
Engine »
Class 5: Implemented unit conversion for y in p-y, t in t-z, and q in q-z. This affected only the range of printed values in the output file, not the underlying nonlinear curves themselves.
Engine »
Class 5: Updated error message printed to log file when the number of bars defined within a cross section exceeds the program limit (320).
Interface »
Enhancements: In Pile Cap Forces dialog, added auto selection option to identify maximum and minimum total (integrated) moment and shear forces.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Soil page, added option to copy soil set data from one set to another, and moved access to "Add Layer" and "Add Set" from respective combo boxes to buttons.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Soil Resistance Plot dialog, added option to plot soil curves across multiple pile segments, and added display of bottom of layer properties in Properties table.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Distributed Load dialog, added options for clearing load on members and data export (to Excel or PDF).
Interface »
Enhancements: In Lateral Stability page, added read-only display of starting and ending elevations for minimum pile tip embedment analysis.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Circular Section Properties dialog, Rectangular Section Properties dialog and Bullet Section Properties dialog, added read-only display of steel percentage information.
Interface »
Enhancements: Expanded soil input for Driven Pile Sand (API) axial soil model to allow distinct unit skin friction values at top and bottom of layer.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Interaction Diagram window, added display text for selected load case / load combination / time step number.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Pile Plan View window, improved coloration to match pile cap element coloring in 3D View window.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Pile Plan View window, added display of pile type number when assigning pile types to piles.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Bearing Locations dialog, created pile bent specific schematic to illustrate bearing layout on bent cap.
Interface »
Enhancements: In 3D Bridge View window, added logic to scale bridge span continuity elements.
Interface »
Enhancements: In 3D Results View window, added logic to scale the drawing of load vectors based on magnitude, adjusted pile element highlighting to only highlight displaced pile elements, and added option to display node numbering when only the displaced model is drawn.
Interface »
Enhancements: In results side 3D windows, added logic to match embedded node coloration used on edit side of program.
Interface »
Enhancements: Improved naming convention of default files to use more explicit units convention. For example, defaulte1.in -> default_USC1.in, defaults1.in -> defaults_SI1.in.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Design Spec. page, improved reporting of required load types per limit state.
Interface »
Enhancements: In Load Combination Preview dialog, added option to enlarge dialog size to show more table data.
Interface »
Class 3: Fixed issue where column model was applying springs to the bottom of each column segment instead of ONLY at column tip.
Interface »
Class 3: Fixed issue with pier columns allowing taper to be applied to H-Section.
Interface »
Class 3: In the 3D Results dialog, fixed data display update issue for models using modal analysis where showing displacement instead of Modal translation would be displayed for selected node if node number was typed into the Node # edit box. Also, fixed issue with displacements and rotations not immediately displaying when Displacement radio button was clicked.
Interface »
Class 3: In Soil Resistance Plots dialog, fixed issue of units displaying in Properties table for the e50 property (which is unit less).
Interface »
Class 3: In Soil Resistance Plots dialog, fixed issue of soil properties not relevant to t-z curve for Drilled Shaft Clay model displaying.
Interface »
Class 4: In Dynamic Print Node List dialog, fixed issue of export option exporting data to Excel even when PDF export option is selected.
Interface »
Class 5: In text output file, fixed issue of analysis duration being over reported in some cases.
