23-07-2024 build 3523

Bug fixes:

• There was a bug causing seemingly random problems of dialog update including import and material definition dialog issues. The bug has been fixed.

10-07-2024 build 3494

Bug fixes:

• Fixes on load combination generation according to the Finnish NA.

• Buckling analysis probles are fixed with respect to the alpha critical, the upper limit of the relevant values. Values greater than the upper limit are no longer displayed.

• Unexpected closing of the program is fixed.

• Tekla Structures import is fixed.

Changes:

• WebView is installed automatically if it is not found on the computer when the program is installed. An Internet connection is required for installation.

• Interface to IDEA Statica 22.1.6.0493, 23.0.5.1260, 23.1.1.1138 improved, signs of transferred internal forces fixed.

• In some cases, there were problems with opening files created in earlier versions of Consteel. The bug has been fixed.

• Point support was not possible to place on plate elements. The bug has been fixed.

• Calculation of cross section class for tube sections in Member Check has been fixed.

• Palette for deformation results was not working properly. The bug has been fixed.

• Result display in case of critical temperature calculation has been fixed.

• Descript codes did not run when starting from local computer. The bug has been fixed.

• Clicking on the Full view button resulted deselection of already selected members. The bug has been fixed.

• Folder creation was not possible at cloud save. The bug has been fixed.

• Design crashed when members were added to or deleted from the model and there was no update in FE model. The bug has been fixed.

• There is a limit of stress value under which the stability design is not performed. The limit value has been changed because it caused the stability design to skip unnecessarily in case of fire design when the stress was low but also the yield strength was decreased due to the high steel temperature.
