13-06-2024 build 3449

Bug fixes:

-Fixed load combinations crash.

-Crash in case of composite column definition fixed.

-Crash when observing seismic analysis results has been fixed.

-Seismic result documentation has been corrected to a better layout.

-The descript dialog box has been corrected.

-Crash due to tapered box section has been repaired.

-Division of selected objects has been corrected for haunches.

-Bug fixed regarding user defined standard creation and delete.

-Crash when opening some files created with earlier version has been fixed.

-Geometrical data of American W profiles has been changed. -Design crash is fixed.

-Crash related to documentation export is fixed.

-Handling of invalid predescribed support displacement has been improved.

-Copy of shear field corrected.

-Pure resistance utilization visualization problem has been solved. Design grid and Section module will display the same utilization now.

-Distribution of surface load from API has been corrected.

-Correction in documentation regarding decimal separator.

-Bug in buckling sensitivity has been fixed.

-Seismic results combinations remains the selected.

-Seismic CQC directions in results are fixed.

-Descripts fixed: 3D hall with tapered frames, Gable wall duopitch, Gable wall monopitch, Laced column, Battened column

-Bug of imperfection load visualization has been fixed.

-Problems with 0 length lines have been fixed.

-Distribution of wind friction loads fixed.

Changes:

-Welded I section new default parameter.

-In case of frame corner on a tapered member, the height of the first small finite element after the frame corner will now be equal to the endheight and not the average height of the first element.

-Hide and submodel view icons appear now also on the auto portion window.

-‘The actions can be favorable….’ checkbox is checked on by default from now for every load case that is not in permanent load group.

Improvements:

-Danish Eurocode National Annex implemented in the new version.

-IDEA 24 interface has been implemented

-Google Analytics connection reintroduced to gain usage statistics.

-Documentation improvement for the SLS verifications and export.

-Model diagnostics were improved: the software now doesn’t identify bar members connected to plates at both ends as unsupported model parts.

-Improvements were made for handling corrupted model files at file open.

-Buckling sensitivity colors improvement, red color.

-Model visualization improved in case of tab changes. (The position of the structure on the screen has modified earlier when changing from Analysis tab to Structural members because of the result table. The position remains the same now.)

-Visualization of surface loads on plates is improved.

Version 17 Hotfix 1

20-12-2023 build 3201

Bug fixes:

-Analysis result visualization according to Auto Portions fixed

-Submodel view fixed

-Fix of X,Y,Z hotkeys

-Problem with visualization of start and end point of members has been fixed.

-Flange slenderness calculation is corrected in Consteel Joint module.

-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.
