17/03/2017 – Ver. 60 – Floor vibrations check

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

  • Added the floor vibrations check: now you can perform the vibrations checks of the floors (joist floors, CLT floors and solid wood floors).The checks are performed in a very accurate way, element by element; in particular the software detects the actual static scheme of every structural element and calculates the fundamental frequency of vibration f1. On the basis of the frequency f1 are then performed the following checks: stiffness criterion (deflection under a static concentrated load with intensity equal to 1 kN), acceleration criterion (for fundamental frequancy f1 less or equal to 8 Hz) and velocity criterion (for fundamental frequancy f1 greater than 8 Hz, 7.3 – UNI EN 1995-1-1).
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

 

20/01/2017 – Command “Find” and improvement of wind calculation performed according to Eurocodes

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

  • Added the command “Find by Name”: now you can search for items within the model using their name. The command lets you search for a single item at a time or a list of items. You can also filter the results according to the options “Match case” and “Match whole word”.
  • Improvement of the calculation of the total wind forces acting on the structure when you select the standard “Eurocode”: The wind calculation mode has been improved considering independently the forces in X and Y direction.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements
