prevent the routine from crashing. Additionally the messaging provided for use
with the Japanese and US codes has also been modified in some places to provide
clearer feedback on the designs. |
487642 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The reported slenderness details for angle profiles
designed AISC 360-05/10 has been updated. The slenderness check for singles
angles correctly considers the effective slenderness calculations as prescribed
in section E5 which was reported for the limit state checks. However, the
actual slenderness ratio was reported only considering the L/r or KL/r based on
clause E2 axial compression or tension. The output now also accounts for clause
E5 in the output. |

Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine used to display a warning message when
designing to IS 800 section 12 has been updated to check for the values of the
parameters SSY and SSZ. If these are set to 0, this indicates they are not
included in a seismic frame and thus any warning messages relating to section
12 checks do not apply. |
487705 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The design routine for checking torsion to DG9 in
AISC 360-05 and AISC 360-10 has been updated too provide a clearer message when
encountering a member that may have loading that cannot be accounted for in the

A23.3-94 has corrected the method used for processing a MINSEC parameter which
was failing to assign the correct bar diameter. |
488123 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The routine for
generating beta angles on members defined in a physical model has been updated.
Previously if an existing model is updated the beta command is assigned to the
member list rather than the PMEMBER list. |
488202 |
Generic GUI Updates - The Load Definition dialog has
been updated to support editing of files defined with a Time History load
definition which uses the spectrum definition. |
488204 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The GUI
dialog provided for editing a time history forcing function in a given load
case has been updated to ensure that all relevant options provided in the
dialog are activated as necessary such as the Response Type to allow the REL or
ABS method to be selected. |
488212 |
Generic GUI Updates - The dialog used to edit a time
history definition has been updated to ensure that if a time step has been
specified (i.e. DT), then this value is displayed in the dialog and retained.
Previously this was not being displayed such that when the edit was concluded,
the specified value was removed from the file and a default value used. |
488236 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine used in the Indian concrete design to
IS 456 has been enhanced such that if the model include finite element plates,
then these will be used in the calculations that is reported if the command
CONCRETE TAKE OFF in included following the design. |
488260 |

the connections indicated with the LVV parameter to ensure that it meets the
requirements in table 6.9 of the code. |
488337 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The default
steel strength defined as FYLD for the South African steel Design code was not
being initialised resulting that if the design would produce a utilisation
ratio of infinity. If FYLD is not specified, the default is now being taken as
300 MPa as described in the user documentation. |
488410 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The tool provide in
the design parameters for the AISC ASD code for determining the values to use
with KY and KZ parameters has been updated to correct a calculation issue that

with the CONCRETE TAKE OFF command when used with the IS 13920:2016 code has
been updated to better handle the large numbers that can be generated which
previously would have not fitted in the provided format and thus shown as
******** symbols. |
511125 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The SELECT OPTIMISED routine used with the Eurocode
EN 1993-1-1 has been updated to ensure that the value used to position the
centre of gravity of a channel and wide flange sections are updated to account
for changes for each profile during the design process. |

details of user defined UPT pipe sections in the Member Query dialog has been
updated to ensure that the value of the wall thickness is correctly reported.
|
532748 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine that determines the bar diameter of
stirrups in concrete beams designed to the Indian IS 456 code has been updated
to ensure that where a smaller diameter bar/spacing is adequate in a given
zone, then that is reported. Previously on occasion only the spacing was
revised and thus some sections reported a larger bar than was necessary.
|
542390 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine used in the Post Processing Workflow
to determine the forces along a cutline, 'Results Along A Line', has been
updated to improve the resolution of forces that apply to the plates and
reported in the Shear Force summary perpendicular to the line in the plane of
the plates, i.e. T-axis. |
554981 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine used in the New Zealand steel design to
NZS 3404 has been updated to ensure that the slenderness checks account for the
direction of the axial load at both ends and thus members in pure tension do
not get limited by the compressive slenderness requirements. |
560974 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The output for a member designed with a
serviceability envelope to the AISC 360-16 design code has been updated by
removing the force details which are not relevant to this output. |

Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine used by the design of steel members to
AISC 360-16 has been updated to catch and process members defined in a UPT was
type GENERAL, but have no values of TB or TD defined (i.e. thickness of the
flange or web). Previously this would cause the program to terminate. |
561450 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine that is used to determine the
slenderness of single angles in the Indian steel design code IS800:2007 LSD
code has been updated to ensure that it uses the effective length of the
appropriate axis. Note this issue applied to angles specified with either the
ST or RA. This issue did not apply with the IS 800:2007 WSD designs. |
563172 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The response spectrum analysis routine used with
solid finite element entities has been updated to correct the values of eigen
vectors being used would cause the analysis to crash. An additional correction
has been made to address issues specific to the IS 1893 response spectrum
analysis. |
563698 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The Physical Model analysis commands (see the
ribbon Loading>Analysis Commands) that were introduced in Update 6 have been
extended to support multiple analysis sets. each analysis set is a definition
of analysis requirements and collection of load cases which can be sorted and
activated/Deactivated as necessary. This then determines how the load data is
populated in the STD file and consequently the analyses performed. Note that if
the combination method selected in the Options dialog is set to REPEAT LOAD
rather than superposition, then the combinations can also be selected and
assigned to an analysis set. |
563699 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The range of methods to create the dynamic
response spectrum loadings has been enhanced with an additional option to use
the method defined in the Chinese publication GB 50011-2010. This has

in the physical model workflow has been enhanced with the ability to define
members with tapering webs by assigning a different depth at the start and and
of the member. Note that the option allows for the depth at the start and/or
end of the member to be determined by the assigned profile or be specifically
specified for that location. |
563701 |
Other Workflows - The Chinese Steel Design workflow that was introduced in
Update 5 has been updated to improve the user experience. Previously, this
launched the SSDD application which performed the steel design task to the
Chinese code. This method of launching a separate application has been replaced
with code that is now fully integrated into the main STAAD.Pro GUI. Note that
whilst most of the capabilities that were available in the previous version are
provided in the same or similar way, there are a number of capabilities that
have not been migrated. Refer to the user documentation for this workflow for
full details. |
563702 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The checks for torsion irregularity to IS 1893
(Part 1):2016 which has been implemented in STAAD.Pro has been updated with
Amendment 2, Note that this change has resulted in a number of changes in the
way the tests are performed and the way the checks are reported. |
563706 |
Generic GUI Updates - The Load Combination generator tools provided in the
Analytical and Physical loading routines have been updated with an additional
set of rules for the 2016 edition of the ASCE 7 publication. |
567080 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The
analytical node generation routine used by the Physical Model Workflow when
meshing the physical model into the analytical elements has been updated to
improve the prevention of duplicate node generation which could result in an
error reporting identical node generation. |
572777 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The design routine for single angles to GB50017
used by the Chinese Steel Design Workflow (previously SSDD) has been up dated.
The value of lambda for stability is dependant on connectivity and if not
suitably connected, should be calculated according to clause 7.2.2. This has
now been implamented. |
573206 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The section classification routine used for T
section and Channel sections during SELECT and SELECT OPTIMIZED operations in
the IS 800 LSD and WSD designs has been updated. The web slenderness ratio is
given priority while calculating the max ratio of section classification. Thus
if a section fails in section classification although may pass other tests, it
will be rejected and the next section will be chosen for the design. |
576032 |
Other Workflows - The routine used to assign New Zealand Gusset Plate
Column-Beam connections (CBB) to member ends in the Steel Connection Design
Workflow has been updated to address an issue which was previously preventing
the GUI from assigning these. |
576623 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The output of the steel design to AISC 360-16 has
been updated. The detailed output provided with a TRACK 2 setting now clarifies
that the value previously shown as Cb is in fact the lateral torsional buckling
factor applied to Cb, and thus shown as Cbf. |
577472 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine for designing tube profiles to the
Russian code SP 16.13300:2017 has been updated to ensure correct identification
of the critical location. Previously this resulted in incorrectly determining
ϕex and ϕey (FIex and FIey) as used in Eq.120 and thus incorrect section
capacity. |
577762 |
Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection Workflow to to
highlight Beam-Beam Brace joints has been updated to ensure that these are
selected when requested. |
579845 |

IS 456 design code has been updated to improve the method used to determine and
report the stirrup bar size and spacing due to an issue encountered at times
when processing the term ASV/SV. |
580339 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine that
is used at the start of any analysis that reserves memory for the data ands
results generated during the analysis has been updated. Under most situations
the estimate and the allocation of computer memory can operate satisfactorily,
but there are situations, where multiple analyses are included in a file which
can lead to the analysis actually requiring more memory that was estimated
resulting in the analysis terminating. This would either be displayed as a
message in the output fie suggesting the use of the MEMORY command or could, in
extreme situations result in the analysis crashing whilst attempting to use
memory that was not available. For optimal memory utilization it is recommended
to use the SET NL command whenever using multiple analysis and using the CHANGE
command . |
582019 |
Physical ModelingWorkflow - The Physical Model Workflow process that
handles models created from older versions of STAAD.Pro where the profiles were
defined using the SPC database rather than the main STAAD.Pro database
introduced in Update 5 to handle a situation where the SPC cache would prevent
the application from reading the profile information. |
582317 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The Indian concrete design routine to IS 456 has
been updated to ensure that a temporary file used during the process is closed
at the end of the design . Previously, if a steel design followed in the same
analysis run, then this would result in the program crashing. |
583821 |
Physical ModelingWorkflow - The Physical Modelling Workflow along with the
physical model Structure Wizard and Physical model Load Combination Generation
tool have been updated to address an issue that would lock the program if the
Windows Regional Settings were such that the decimal separator was set as a
comma. |
587159 |
Generic GUI Updates - The action of the Restore View layout button in the
top right corner of the main window has been updated to address an issue which
prevented the action from operating. |
588036 |

details of the Results Along A Line described in the What's New topic RR
22.02.00-4.3 Results Along a Cut Line has been updated to clarify the meaning
of the value Mts as being 'Torque moment perpendicular to the cut
line'. |
590546 |
Other Workflows - The routine used for calculating the wind pressure
profiles as per the ASCE-7 design codes has been updated such that when the
structure is defined as Enclosed or Partial Enclosed and is classed as
flexible, then it will use the formula p = qz.Gf.Cp - qh(GCpi). Where the
building is defined as an Open Building and is classed as Rigid, then it will
use the formula p = qz.Gf.Cp |
590775 |
Generic GUI Updates - The ASCE 7 2010 wind load routine has been updated to
ensure that a default value of 1.8 is assigned to the Cf parameter when the
structure type is set to Lattice Structure. |
590855 |
Generic GUI Updates - The calculation used to determine the gust factor in
the older ASCE-7 load definition tool (2010 and earlier) has been updated to
correctly account for the frequency and damping input values for flexible
structures. Additionally the gust factor calculation has been updated for
determining the gust factor for rigid structures of category C and D. |
590899 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The routine used by the
Physical Model Workflow to create a mesh of finite elements from a physical
surface has been updated to introduce a test on the generated elements to
validate the alignment and improve the quality of the generated analytical
model. |
591507 |
Documentation and Printing - The verification
example GB 50011-2001 Static Seismic - Case2 has been updated with details of
the horizontal seismic coefficient calculation. |
592226 |
Other Workflows - The method used by the Connection Design Workflow to
process models defined without a specific materiel strength such as with a
basic STEEL material has been updated so that these will be taken to have a
default yield strength of 36 ksi and ultimate strength of 58 ksi. Previously
without a specific strength specified, this would cause the application to
crash. |
592228 |
Other Workflows - The routine used to design steel member end connections
of type Horizontal Gusset Column Beam-Column connection ( HCBB) or Horizontal
Gusset Beam-Beam connection (HBBB) has been updated to address an issue that
occurred in opening a connection created in a model in an earlier version of
STAAD.Pro that result in STAAD.Pro terminating. |
592234 |
Other Workflows - The method used by STAAD.Pro when entering the Connection
Design Workflow to manage the profile databases has been modified. As this
workflow utilises the RAM Connection system for the connection design, it needs
to coordinate the STAAD.Pro and RAM Connection databases. This can be a slow
process if all databases are checked, hence there is an option in the RAM
Connection Settings dialog to indicate which databases should be checked. If
the model is now identified to include a profile which is not in one of the
selected databases, a warning will be displayed and the option given to add
this to the settings if connections will be intended to be assigned on members
with this profile. |
592537 |
Analytical ModelingWorkflow - The Isotropic Material definitions dialog has
been updated to ensure that when setting the values of FY and FU for a standard
steel material, these are retained and assigned to the standard material for
the current model. |
592547 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine used in the Australian steel design
code AS 4100:1998 for SELECT and SELECT OPTMISE has been updated to sequence
the checks in a way that now allows the member slenderness checks to be
performed in line with the other required checks to result in a better reported
section profile. |
592870 |
Physical ModelingWorkflow - The method used by the Physical Model workflow
to update the associated STD file has been updated to ensure that if this file
contains additional steel design information, that is retained with the updates
from the modifications that have been introduced by changes in the physical
model. |
592905 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The method used to determine collinearity in the IS
13920 codes using the COMBINE parameter has been modified to improve the
tolerance test to validate that the defined members do indeed lie in a line.
|
594450 |
Interoperability - The StrucLink module that is available in the backstage
of the Analytical Workflow that can be used to create a iTwin digital model
(ISM) has been updated to prevent the mapping file from being overwritten.
|
594656 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The method
used by the Physical Modelling Workflow to process undo/redo when multiple
objects have been selected and modified has been updated to ensure that the
change is undone on all the selected objects, not one in the list. |
594722 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The Russian steel design routine SP 16.13300:2017
has been updated to ensure that members that are not designed are reported in
the post processing Design Results table as -1. Previously some members which
could not be designed would be reported with values of -0.01 |

load combinations to the ASCE 7:2010 code have been updated to address the
requirements for load categories that are classed as FLUID or SOIL. |
600524 |
Other Workflows - The process used by the Steel AutoDrafter Workflow has
been updated to catch members that have been defined as concrete profiles and
include them on generated drawings. This corrects an issue that was introduced
in the V22 Update 6 release. |
602815 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The torsion check routine used in the Eurocode 3
steel design to EN 1993-1-1 has been updated to so that the value of Mw,Ed is
modified to be taken as: E * Iw * φ’’/(h-tf). |
602843 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The Russian steel design code SP 16.13300:2017 has
been updated to address an issue discovered in reporting the details of the
design checks in the output file that resulted in the location of the maximum
and hence ratio being misidentified. However the table in the post processing
workflow correctly indicated the maximum utilization. |
603858 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The design check in the Japanese design code AIJ
2002 for determining the limit of D/t has been modified to set the threshold as
23500/(yield strength). Previously this was set as 23500/sqrt(yield
strength). |
603959 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The Japanese steel design modules AIJ 2002 and 2005
have been updated to ensure that the value reported for the bending Z moment
values (tension). |

baseplate connection on a taper member that is to be designed to the IS800
:2007 design code has been updated to catch an issue that would cause the
design process to crash. |
605719 |
Analytical ModelingWorkflow - The dialog used for defining a time history
forcing function has been updated to ensure that if the values are defined in
the table which extends beyond the space available, then a vertical scroll bar
is provided for access to the data outside the displayed region. |
605984 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The routine used to produce the output for BS 5950
Part 5 and CAN/CSA S136-94 has been updated to ensure that the it uses the
details from the database 'STAADname' column rather than the 'Name' column
which would mean that where these differed the results of the design would not
be included in the output. |
607244 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The SELECT OPTMISE routine used with the Australian
AS4100:1998 design code has been updated to ensure that the details for the
intermediate selection steps are included in the output and not just the final
step. |
608931 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The AISC 360 design routines that report the shear
area for user defined pipe sections has been updated such that if the UPT
definition does not include the shear areas, then the report will show the
values calculated by the program as defined in the code and used in the design.
|
609364 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The slenderness formula used with the tension check
in the steel design routine of IS 800 2007 WSD (working stress design) has been
updated as it was previously multiplying the value L/r by the K factor in each
axis. |
614385 |

STD file has been updated to ensure that when data exceeds the line length
limit, the use of a hyphen character to indicate a line continuation is not
added as a sole line character. |
615795 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The torsion design routine used in the AISC
360-05/10 design codes has been updated to address an issue identified when a
UNIT command has been introduced in the loading commands. Note that this issue
was not present in the design routine used with AISC 360-16. |
616276 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The AISC 360-16 steel design routine has been
updated to ensure that when a group of members are defined as a collection in a
CHECK CODE command, those that have a TRUSS/TENSION/COMPRESSION specification
do do impact the design requirements on those that do not have these specified.
Previously, a member with one or more of these specifications would be used as
an active specification on subsequent members that were designed in that group.
|
617775 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function NewSTAADFile() has been updated to
ensure that the file is created as specified. Previously this could fail with a
response 'File Not Found'. |

Analysis/DesignEngine - The processing of cold formed sections defined in
the RCeco and Lysaght databases has been updated to ensure that where required
values are not included in the tables, then these are calculated as necessary.
|
617935 |
Other Workflows - The Connection Design Workflow has been updated to
support members assigned with Canadian double angle profiles. Note that if
Canadian profiles are used, then these should be selected in the RAM Connection
Settings dialog. Refer to D. To edit the RAM Connection settings |
618433 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The output report for a member designed with the
AIISC 360-16 steel design code has been updated to better reflect the
requirements indicated with the interaction parameter setting INT 0. This
accounts for the fact the code has multiple equations that can be used to meet
the interaction condition. When set to 0, the intention is to use the minimum
value of any relevant equation such as H1.1 and H1.3. However, if the member
was checked against multiple load cases where some would require an H1.3 check,
but others not and in the ultimate governing load case clause H1-3 does not
apply, displaying the result for the case where it does apply is confusing and
thus it is now not reported. |
618711 |
Generic GUI Updates - The File>New backstage has
been updated such that the drop list provided with a Model Seed File option now
displays the recently used list as quick access. |
618715 |
Documentation and Printing - The OpenSTAAD
documentation has been updated to correct two issues 1)
Geometry.GetGroupEntites() returns the number of entities in the named group
and 2) The description of the function Load.GetLoadCombinationCaseNumbers()
confirms that this returns the combination case numbers, not the primary load
case numbers ass documented previously. |
618716 |
Other Workflows - The method used by the Connection Design Workflow to
create connection objects from definitions specified by connection tags has
been updated. The process now ensures that the class information is utilised
when parsing the data in the connection file. |
620001 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The cold formed steel design routine to IS 801:1975
has been updated to correct the calculation used to determine the distance
between the shear centre to the centre of gravity for angle sections, channel
and hat sections. |
620280 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Results.GetBasePressures() has been
updated to ensure that the results are correctly reported when the base unit is
set to Metric. Note the results are reported correctly with the base unit set
to English units. |
620860 |
Analytical ModelingWorkflow - The routine used by the Specifications dialog
to activate the option to 'Assign to Selected Beams' has been updated to ensure
that it previously required the objects to be selected after the specification.
Now that objects can be selected and the option will be activated once the
required specification is selected. Note that for this to operate in this way,
the option 'Highlight Assigned Geometry' should not be set. |
620908 |
Analytical ModelingWorkflow - The process that is used to display the
current assignment of a selected specification in the Specifications dialog has
been updated to ensure that the displayed items is reflective of the assigned
list. |
621501 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The routine
used in the Physical Modelling Workflow Structure Wizard to generate
hydrostatic loading using the Tank Wizard has been updated to catch a situation
where the tank segment is defined with zero depth and thus would create a
region of zero area. |
621571 |
Other Workflows - The routine used in the Connection Design Workflow for
designing Moment End Plate BCF and Bolted End Plate BCF connections to the IS
or EN design codes has been updated to improve the tolerance settings where the
connections are applicable. |
623414 |
Documentation and Printing - The
documentation for defining and assigning seismic loading has been updated to
clarify the assignment of the seismic load that has defined in a definition
should only assigned in a lateral direction. That is in the X or Z axes for
most cases (where Y is the vertical axis) or when the Z UP command has been
used to make the Z axis become the vertical axis, then the definition should
only be assigned in the X and/or Y axes. In other words, the seismic load
definition should NOT be assigned in the vertical direction. |
625419 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The warning message reported by the program when
performing a design for serviceability when not correctly specified, has been
updated to refer to the current help documentation topic TR.40 Load Envelope.
|
625679 |
Interoperability - The PipeLink export routine provided in the Piping
Workflow has been updated to address an issue where the created material table
file was mis-indexed and would cause the interop with AutoPIPE to fail.
|
627673 |
Generic GUI Updates - The GUI processing of the
shortcut key combination of <CTRL + F4> has been updated so that it will
close the active window unless that is the main structure window. Previously,
if this key combination was pressed and the main structure window was closed,
the application would crash. |
630388 |
Generic GUI Updates - The dialogs used to display
the processing of data in the Piping Workflow, Plate Meshing tools and the
Multilinear Spring table have been modified to support the use of Chinese and
Japanese character sets. |
630406 |
OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Results.GetMatInfluenceAreas() has been
updated to correct an error which was causing the results to be returned
without any areas. |
633034 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The New Zealand steel design routine has been
updated to correctly account for the sign of the bending moment when
determining the reduced shear capacity. Note that this can result in a change
to the governing clause from 5.12.3 to 5.12.2. |
634212 |
The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules -
The method used by the STAAD Editor to allow this module to operate outside the
main STAAD.Pro application as a standalone application has been modified to
ensure that in doing so it is possible to create a new file. Previously,
although the option was provided, attempting to do so would cause the Editor to
crash. |
635104 |
Physical ModelingWorkflow - The Physical Model Workflow has been updated to
remove a process that attempts to initiate the SPC service which was required
when this workflow was reliant on this for obtaining the section property data
of members. This is no longer required with the current use of the standard
STAAD.Pro databases. If the service was not installed on the computer,
attempting to initiate the service would cause STAAD.Pro to crash. |
635819 |
Post Processing Workflow - The routine used for generating a cutline with
the Results Along Line tool has been updated to address an issue that could be
encountered when forming the boundary of elements and duplicated node numbers
which when being processed would cause the application to crash. |
636103 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The Structure Wizard tool added to the
Physical Model workflow in V22 Update 6 has been updated to improve the
capabilities in creating and managing models and templates. These can now be
aggregated into separate folders. A second tank model template is included in
the installer that is better suited to design in the RCDC workflow. The
installed and user templates are now organised into more practical locations.
The editor provided for editing user templates has been updated to support
collapsing data blocks and improved colour coding. |
636511 |
Other Workflows - The details of a selected connection in the Connection
Deign workflow in the Results layout has been updated to ensure that the
details of the selected connection includes the defined section name. |
637526 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - As part of the initiative to integrate the
Chinese Steel Design Workflow as a new wind load generator has been added to
the loading definitions, in the Analytical Workflow, which follows the
provisions outlined in the GB50009 publication. Note that this module not only
utilises the data entered to determine the wind load pressures according to the
code, but also can be used to generate the primary load cases. If the
definition is deleted again in the GUI, the associated load cases will also be
removed from the model. |
637550 |
Licensing / Security/Installation - The operation of STAAD.Pro has been
tested to ensure that it is able to operate under normal situations on a Citrix
environment. |
637811 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The new CE V22 Update 7 analysis and design engine
has been uploaded to the Scenario Services platform be an option for a cloud
based analysis. |
637812 |
Other Workflows - A number of operational changes have been implemented in
the integration of the Steel Connection Design Workflow to improve the user
experience. The requirement to confirm for connection designs to be performed
if any connection exits whenever an analysis is performed has been removed. The
details of the material grade will now be taken s default from the material
definition. An issue that could occur in that the ratio reported for a
connection in the RAM Connection Input dialog when changing to/from the Results
layout has been addressed. And the colour system used in the connection pad
|
637828 |
Other Workflows - The installation has been updated to include the current
version of the RCDC application (v11.00.00) which is used for the Advanced
Concrete Design Workflow. |
637829 |
Licensing / Security/Installation - The installation has been updated to
include and install the current version of the CONNECTION Client module
(11.00.03.25). This is the heart of the Bentley license service and a
pre-requisite for using any Bentley application. |
637834 |
Generic GUI Updates - A fully Chinese localised version of CE V22 Update 7
has been produced and is available as a Chinese localised installer. |
637838 |

provide details on the use of two functions that allow the analysis engine to
be operated remotely and silently. These functions are AnalyzeEx() and
SetSilentMode(). |
637850 |
Documentation and Printing - The user documentation
topic, P. Beam End Forces table, has been updated to provide better clarity on
the nature of the results provided and the significance of the signs. |
637856 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The analysis and design engine has been updated to
support the use of p-delta or direct analysis on models which contain plates
that have been assigned offsets, a feature that was added in SPro CE V22 U6.
|
637864 |
Analysis/Design Engine - The method
used by the analysis engine to reserve and allocate memory for large models
where the command SET NL has not been specified has been updated . This method
accounts for rigid floor diaphragms, seismic cases and where there are in
excess of 1 million degrees of freedom. |
637879 |
Generic GUI Updates - The CONNECT
Advisor module previously included in Bentley applications has been deprecated.
The functionality offered by this module is now included in the CONNECTION
Client. |
638081 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The design of tie reinforcement to the Indian
design code IS 13920 has been corrected to address an issue identified that
occurs when the column cross section dimensions are large and the shear force
is small. This was causing significantly more reinforcement than is required.
|
645756 |
Physical Modeling Workflow - The wind load
generation routine in the Physical Model workflow has been updated to ensure
that when the wind definition is specified as external and in the negative X or
Z directions, then this is correctly reflected in the STD data file.
Previously, although the direction was correctly indicated, it was generated as
an internal load (and visa versa). |
646030 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The Structure Wizard
tool provided in the Analytical Modelling Workflow has been updated to support
the localization of table headings. Previously this would not support Chinese
or Japanese character sets. |
646145 |
Generic GUI Updates -The routine that
updates the Member Query dialog content in the 'Shear Bending' and 'Deflection'
sheets has been updated to catch a condition which could occur when refreshing
the data and resulting in an incorrect warning message being displayed and
clearing the table headers in the dialog. |
649081 |
Analytical Modeling Workflow - The Structure Wizard
tool provided in the Analytical workflow has been updated to ensure the dialog
displayed from the Edit>Edit New Macro... or Edit>Edit Existing Macro menu
items displays text on all the dialog buttons. |
649553 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The details of the locations for the checks
reported for a cold formed steel member design to AISI 2016 has been updated to
correctly account for the unit if specified. Note that this was purely an
output issue and did not affect the design itself. |
649893 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The Canadian concrete design routine has been
updated with an error message confirming that currently trapezoidal member
profiles are not supported at this time. |
651772 |
Interoperability - The Structlink module in the Analytical Model Workflow
has been updated to address an issue when attempting to map a user table
profile during the import process which was causing the application to crash.
Now a message box is displayed warning that a table must be selected before
attempting to continue. |
651843 |
Analysis/DesignEngine - The format of the design report for the Indian
steel design code IS800:2007 has been slightly modified in order to provide
additional space for very long named section profiles which previously were
being truncated. |
652710 |
Other Workflows - The routine that parses a user defined template file for
a Steel Connection Design Workflow has been updated to trap n error that would
occur if the first line included spaces that resulted in application
terminating. |
661720 |
Documentation and Printing - The help topic GS.
Keyboard Shortcuts has been updated to clarify the action performed by the key
combination <Ctrl+F4> which is to close the current window. |
