Software Updates

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Modal linear dynamic (response spectrum) analysis: added the possibility to perform the linear dynamic analysis. The response of a structure is defined as a combination of many special shapes (modes). The software determines these modes and for each mode, reads a response from the design spectrum, based on the modal frequency and the modal mass. The responces are then combined using a complete quadratic combination to provide an estimate of the total response of the structure.
• Possibility of selecting which results to print: you can choose which checks to export: only those related to static analysis (vertical loads and wind), those related to static analysis + seismic equivalent static analysis, or those related to static analysis + dynamic (response spectrum) analysis.
• New graphic theme: we changed the theme and the icons of the software.
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• English translation of the software and the calculation report
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Modal Analysis: Added the possibility to calculate and display in graphical and tabular form the modes of vibration of the modeled structures taking into account the deformation of the timber walls and of their the connections.
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Graphical representation of the structure deformation for horizontal loads: added the ability to view directly on the 3D model the displacements due to the horizontal loads.
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Solver update: added the possibility to model walls that “skip” one or more floors. Specifically, a ceiling slab can be supported by walls that have base nodes belonging to levels lower than that of the floor immediately below. This allows to significantly expand the number of cases that can be modeled with the software.

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Check of CLT ceilings: now you can design CLT ceiling elements. The calculation can be performed either according to the following hypothesis:
  • – Deformable connection: the calculation model adopted is that of mechanically jointed beams with deformable connection in accordance with Appendix B of EN 1995-1-1. The shear flexibility of the transverse layers is considered using the Gamma-method: namely with Möhler theory for CLT panel having up to 3 layers oriented in the direction of calculation and with Shelling theory for CLT panel having more than 3 layers oriented in the direction of calculation.
  • – Non-deformable connection: the calculation model adopted is that of mechanically jointed beams with non-deformable connection. The shear flexibility of the transverse layers is not considered.

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Elements are colored with regard to properties: added the ability to graphically diplay the properties assigned to the various elements of the three-dimensional model using different coloration. This feature is very useful for designers to quickly verify the correct definition of the structural elements, connections and loads.
• Transfer wall, no continuous down to foundation: added the possibility to insert wall elements supported by the floors without the need to insert a beam element beneath them
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Definition of irregular walls: Added the possibility to draw wall elements defining their vertices. This function is useful to model walls whose upper edge consists of a broken line
• Updated the online user area: In user personal page you can download the program install file, read the main data related to your license (purchase date, expiration date of updates) and download some validation and verification examples and the connection fixer.
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Definition of k_cr factor: Added the possibility to edit the value of the coefficient k _{CR used for the verification of shear resistance of members in bending (UNI EN 1995-1-1: 2014 – point 6.1.7)}
• Column on multiple levels: Column can be defined with a height greater than inter-story height
• Bug fixing e small improvements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Export DXF: Added the possibility to export drawings (in Italian and in English) in DXF format. For the different levels the software exports the positions of all the structural walls with their identification number and the type of connection for tension and shear force used.
• Mechanical properties of the glued laminated timber: Added the possibility to use the mechanical properties of glued laminated timber compliant with the UNI EN 14080: 2005 (according to EN 1194: 2000) and with the UNI EN 14080: 2013
• Bug fixing e small improvements
