Cross Sections and Materials#

Bugfix

  • The first strain value eps=fctm/Ecm in the stress-strain curve for serviceability of steel fibre concrete did not fit. (242539)

  • Shear centre coordinate Z was not calculated correctly if value Y was changed assuming a fixed axis of rotation (for solid sections).

Moving Load Train Analysis#

Bugfix

  • The handling of transverse boundary elements (line bedding) for rotated structural lines was incorrect.

Combinations and Superpositions#

Bugfix

MAXIMA

  • Fixed calculation of action contribution, when determining leading actions, due to a rare tolerance issue when processing large values. (243833)

Design Checks for Composite Cross Sections#

Feature

  • Use face orientation (X- or X+) of cross-sectional plots according to the user input.

Viewer#

Interactive System Visualization Tool

General

  • Improved overall performance and application stability.

Bugfix

Report Browser#

View PLB files

Bugfix

  • Corrected issues where pages were incorrectly numbered in reports and /or in the table of contents of reports. (221039, 243059)

Graphic#

Graphical Representation of FE Structures and Results

Bugfix

  • Sometimes lines were missing in the list output.

  • Sometimes the minimum value dialogue displayed strange characters.

  • Page numbering was sometimes wrong. (243059)

  • Page numbering could not be set for the URSULA format.

FEA Modules for Batch Processing#

SOFiMSHC#

Geometric Modelling

Bugfix

  • Corrected printout of bedding properties along structural lines. (241152)

  • Prevent infinite loop, due to incorrect evaluation of placements along NURBS axis with invalid parametrization. (242244)

SOFiMSHA#

Import and Export of Finite Elements

General

  • Enable assignment of work law to springs, generated with command INTF. (240057)

Bugfix

  • Fixed crash, when copying couplings with command TRAN. (241061)

TENDON#

Geometry and Forces of Tendons

Bugfix

  • Allow multiple +PROG TENDON runs to write tendon loads to the same load case. (243000)

  • Corrected computation of AZ reduction for VDAT force transition on non-unit-length curves. (242731)

  • Fixed missing tendon intersections. (242029)

  • Fixed crash in computation of forces factors. (241695)

CSM#

Construction Stage Manager

Bugfix

  • DESI-MAX Eurocode superposition: did not work on input CTRL GPCS 1 - corrected. (242714)

  • DESI-AQB superposition: in case DENMARK COMB … LF1 G KFI is used instead of LF1 G XKFG for equation 6.10b. (242568)

  • DECS design construction stage: superposition for permanent case: inf-sup separation corrected for AQB combination. (242938)

  • SUMA Sum of CSM stage actions extended for quad bedding stresses. (235501)

ASE#

General Structural Analysis of FE Structures

Bugfix

  • Creep and shrinkage analysis with CSM staged analysis caused problems only in last servicepack 2025-7 - corrected. (242767)

  • CSM creep on boundary elements corrected. (242633)

  • CSM creep: error -777 in program T_10DICKEN corrected. (243444)

  • With a GRP FACS input the beam shear stiffness was not reduced - corrected.

  • Hydra temperature field analysis corrected for skew bric elements. (243204)

BEMESS#

Design of Plates and Shells

Bugfix

  • Punching on foundation slabs: amount of necessary shear reinforcement perimeters corrected (reduced).

  • Crack width design: in rare cases and code France no reinforcement increased was detected - solved. (243334)

  • ULS design with quad tendons: prestrain of tendons may be calculated too low, stress increase too high - corrected.

  • Robustness reinforcement corrected for layer method CTRL LAY 1 in case of steel grade STEE B ‘550B’. (243508)

  • Shear design: in case one element got shear reinforcement, this was also applied for other elements - corrected. (243793)

  • Crack width design with multilayer reinforcement : storage of crack width corrected.
