Build 3938-Version 18 Hotfix 4

22-01-2025 build 3938

Bug fixes:

• Calculate button fixed at composite beam design.
• Load combination list fixed at composite beam design.
• The software crashed on a portion operation when the model was originally saved in an earlier (e.g. 14) version of Consteel and opened in version 18. The bug has been fixed.
• In certain cases, the analysis crashed. The bug has been fixed.
• Line link element wasn’t created between a member and a line on a surface element. The bug has been fixed.
• Cross sectional area was displayed incorrectly for concrete I section with tapered flange width. The bug has been fixed. The analysis calculation was correct originally, there is no change in that.
• Wind coefficient was not saved when defining snow effect. The bug has been fixed.

Improvements:

• An automatic model save is now always initiated at analysis start.
• Composite beams are now removed from the Kg matrix in case of buckling analysis because it is not applicable for them. It is like they were put in a portion for which we do not run buckling analysis.
• Several Consteel 18 features were added to the list of functions we collect usage statistics about.
