SCAD++

The finite element of type 57 (external two-node damper) has been added. It enables to allow for non-uniform damping at the direct integration of the equations of motion.

SCAD++

When isofields of stresses are plotted for solid finite elements, the values of stresses in nodes are averaged.

SCAD++

The error in the DCF calculation at dynamic loadings of the Harmonic oscillations type has been corrected.

The determination of the design combinations of deflections in bars has been refined.

SCAD++

Nodes/elements can now be renumbered.

SCAD++

The meshing quality of solid finite elements can now be analyzed.

COMET

Eurocode calculations have been brought into compliance with the current EN 1993.

Kristall

Eurocode calculations have been brought into compliance with the current EN 1993. The set of modes has been changed: the calculations of joints are now unavailable (it is implemented in Comet), the truss analysis has been added.

SCAD++

When specifying the directions of the stress output, you can select which axis has to be directed for the selected criterion (the X or Y axis).

SCAD++

The context menu can now be customized.

The capabilities of the operation of modifying the parameters of loadings have been expanded. The parameters of groups of loads can now be changed as well.

Kristall

The capabilities of the Welded Connections mode have been expanded. Different weld legs at the toe and at the heel of the angle can be specified for the connections between the angles and the gusset plates.

SCAD++

The finite element of type 56 (external node damper) has been added. It enables to allow for non-uniform damping at the direct integration of the equations of motion.
