11-09-2025 build 4304

Bug fixes:

• Problem with frozen design calculation has been solved.

02-09-2025 build 4279

Bug fixes:

• In certain cases, the effective cross section calculation of cold-formed C macro sections resulted strange shapes. The bug has been fixed.

01-09-2025 build 4276

Bug fixes:

• When changing the cross section of a bar member to which a smart link connected, either the link was not adopted or the position of the connecting second bar member (generally purlin). The bug has been fixed.
• Because of the incorrect order of the LTS edges, some bar members were not recognized as being in the plane of the LTS and so not assigned to them. The bug has been fixed.
• Correction in the result table for M+V interaction

Modifications:

• Model repairing processes were automatically executed at model open and start of analysis earlier. The initiation of these processes has been exposed to the Diagnostics panel under Repair button in order to make it available for the user to control whether they want to run them or not.

22-08-2025 build 4265

Bug fixes:

• Error message regarding 32 bits Tekla has been fixed.
• Analysis results presented false errors in some cases after multiple runs due to a technical bug. The bug has been fixed.

05-08-2025 build 4244

Bug fixes:

• Load combination filter (scrolling the table and filtering by rules) has been accelerated.

28-07-2025 build 4232

Bug fixes:

• In Section result table and documentation of cold-formed section design, shear stresses were not displayed correctly at General elastic resistance - Combined check. Calculation was correct, only the display not. The bug has been fixed.

23-07-2025 build 4222

Bug fixes:

• When moving an LTS, the simulation-based surface wind loads were not moved together with it. The bug has been fixed.
• It is now possible to copy generated load cases (standard meteorological and simulation) with all of the loads included.

04-07-2025 build 4209

Bug fixes:

• IDEA StatiCa Checkbot export failed when results from SLS load combination were present in the model. The bug has been fixed.
• Internal forces calculation in case thermal load and bow imperfection is considered, has been fixed.
• Analysis results were different in case of XBrace elements if first order calculation was not requested but only second order and/buckling. The bug has been fixed. First order calculation is now always executed if necessary for the upcoming calculation.
• Analysis results presented false errors in some cases after multiple runs due to a technical bug. The bug has been fixed.

Modifications:

• Small changes on the user interface to align with updated licensing system.
• Design results are not shown anymore on members with intumescent paint in the accidental load combinations containing the fire effect because they are not relevant.
• Adjustment on Section result table for Conservative interaction resistance.

Improvements:

• Compatibility granted with newly released FALCON plugin (FALCON beta versions will not start from this Consteel version).
• Navigation overview is extended with videos of different presets.
• Consideration of the effect of hot-dip galvanizing in fire design is implemented.

17-06-2025 build 4172

Bug fixes:

• Problem with displaying the end marks has been fixed.
• Sorting load combinations by values has been temporarily disabled on Load combination dialog due to a bug until final fix.
• Stable length results were not displayed in Section module. The bug has been fixed.
• Bug in plastic hinge analysis has been fixed.

Modifications:

• Frame corner can be placed not only to bar members with continuous end releases but with semi-rigid too.
• Connection stiffness can be considered in case of frame corner present.

05-06-2025 build 4149

Bug fixes:

• For RC columns the second order internal forces were not labelled. The bug has been fixed.
• Tutorials did not start. The bug has been fixed.
• Fixes on composite beam design: Calculation of concrete area and b0 distance consideration for Design shear resistance.
• Crash is fixed in case of a new model Create new load combination set.
• Problem with creating joint model from a user model has been fixed.
• Adjustments were made on model diagnostics for double cold-formed section in order to avoid improper diagnostic errors causing the analysis to fail.
