Note

For the optimal product experience we highly recommend to work with the latest available version in SOFiSTiK Application Manager.

2024-4 Release (19.04.2024)

Enhancements

• The update mechanism of the variation tables has been improved.

• Enhancement for Reinforcement Browser after undoing a process.

• Enhancement for sort order of bar marks according to SOFiSTiK_ShapeCode.

• New features and improvement of the command Rebar Check:

  • Rebar Check is now also available for beams. For downstand beams, it will also take the slab into consideration.

  • For beams and columns the Anchoring factor now allows to account for anchorage lengths and laps.

  • Rebar Check now supports structural instance having multiple counterparts.

  • Rebar Check now supports reinforcement hosted across several elements.

  • Rebar Check now supports area reinforcement which boundaries are curved (e.g. arc-shaped edges).

Resolved Issues

• An issue that occured by the Bar End tool.

• An issue that occured by the Tag Missing tool.

• An issue that prevented Linear Spacer from being automatically assigned to the sheet.

• A Crash occured when using filters in Reinforcement Browser.

• An issue that caused the parameter names to be sorted incorrectly in the shape image for stirrups with variable segment lengths.

• An issue that prevented SOFiSTiK_Coupler_Length from being updated.

• Fixed an issue where Rebar Check modified the active section box.

• Fixed an issue where Rebar Check could not identify provided reinforcement on cranked reabrs properly.

2024-3 Release (02.02.2024)

Enhancements

• Geometry export of Not Bent and Running Length rebars into .ABS files has been enhanced.

• Shape Images for Running Length Rebars are now supported in openXML schedules (.Docx) and Shape Images tool.

• New parameter running_length_indicator is available to be used in the Translation Table in openXML schedules (.Docx).

• Rebar Check Enhancements:

  • Rebar Check is now also available for columns

  • New Reload button to refresh the database and result cutline visualization

  • New concept to determine overlapping and supplementary reinforcement by using an anchoring factor

  • New button to draw result cutlines

Resolved Issues

• An error that occured by the Unfreeze tool for multiple rebar sets.

• An issue that caused a wrong height of spiral reinforcement.

• An issue that occured by the Split tool when reinforcement host is a generic model.

2024-2 Release (01.12.2023)

Enhancements

• The display style Rebar Check Points of Rebar Check has been improved to show peak values in clusters.

• Rebar Check can now also display A_s,req – A_s,prov along cutlines.

Resolved Issues

• An issue that caused incorrect values for the mass per unit lengths in lbm/ft.

• An issue that caused wrong hook types for rebar sets which were created by the Rebar Template tool.

• An issue that caused shape details not to be updated after freezing and unfreezing a rebar set.

• An issue that occured when annotation families in the project and in the content pack use different capitalisation.

• An issue that caused an incorrect number of bars in the bending schedule for varying rebar sets in specific situations.

• An issue that caused an incorrect number of fabrics in the fabric cut schedule in specific situations.

• An issue that caused rebars without assignment to be assigned during synchronisation with a central model.

• An issue that caused wrong symbols for the layer details.

2024-1 Release (06.10.2023)

Enhancements

• Extensive improvements and enhancements for the Rebar Templates tool.

• Filter of the Reinforcement Browser now supports filter criteria shape code, running length and shape detail

Resolved Issues

• An issue that caused the change of the assignment of linear spacers in worksharing models.

• An issue that caused wrong hook directions for Shape Code 67.

• An issue that caused wrong bar lengths after using the Group tool in specific situations.

• An issue that occured by grouping rebars with Shape Code 98.

• An issue that caused wrong bar diameters after using the Explode tool.

• An issue that caused long processing times for the Unfreeze tool.

• An issue that prevented the generation of a schedule containing only linear spacers.

• An issue that occurred by the Tag All tool in particular situations.
