For Eurocodes, Partial factors for dead and live loads and combination values for accompanying actions for imposed loads and wind loads are exposed to the user for further editing. Also, user feedback is reviewed and implemented in the software. Loading Generator wizard is revisited and significant improvements are made for Eurocodes, US codes, and similar codes.
However, you are free to consider these at the same time by editing any combination. Even if you assign loads for all of them, these three load cases will not be automatically considered in the same combination simultaneously. For example, if you check the Roof and Snow Load fields, a different set of combinations (in the form of Qr or S or R) will be generated for each of these load cases. Generally in codes, it is recommended to define different load cases for these loads and they are recommended to be included in the loading combinations with different coefficients.Įspecially these definitions are important in steel structures where roof loading is prominent.īy checking these options, you can define individual load cases for "Roof Live Load (Qr, Lr in ASCE-based specifications)", "Snow Load (S)" and/or "Rain Load (R)" instead of "Live Load Case (Q)" to roof level slabs and elements (such as roof cladding, purlin, beam.). Snow, Rain, and Roof live load cases can be defined by using ‘Loading Generator’.

Summary of Release Notes is now displayed on the update window.
All the panels should have the same DelZ value and their top or bottom edge should not be inclined. If you assign Del-Z values to corewall panels before merging them, they will now be considered in the merged corewall as well. Here are some of the highlights of the latest release Modeling Custom Truss Editor EnhancementsĬonvert to Truss operation now better recognizes the frame member sections and automatically makes them default for groups like top chords, bottom chords, diagonals, and verticals.Īll visibility and visual interrogation filters can now be reset at once by clicking the ‘ Reset All Filters’ button on the Active Window Settings and Visual Interrogation dialog.
