Perpendicular option under object snap New Feature

If you right click the mouse button during modeling of Slabs and elements you get the snapping option. An option of perpendicular is added in that which will increase speed in modeling of Slabs, Elements, User defined Trusses.

Import and Export of ETABS file in STRUDS

If you have ETABS file and it’s analysis file you can import the same in STRUDS.You can export STRUDS file in ETABS.

Improvement

Improvement in user defined truss modeling Improvement

Lot of improvements in modeling of user defined trusses to save time in modeling.

Detail report on Pattern loading in PDF format. New Feature

Under load -

> Reports a PDF report for pattern loading is added which gives clear idea about various combination

s of pattern loading.

Window selection option in column orient windowNew Feature

In column orient view for multiple selection of columns window selection option is given to save time in modeling.

Footing level with node numbers in postprocessor New Feature

In postprocessor mode for space-frame analysis an option is given to set the footing level to see the node numbers at footing level, this helps to check the support reactions from analysis report.

Use of Fe550 grade steel in design New Feature

Use of Fe 550 grade steel in design of Slabs, Beams, Columns, Footings and Shear walls is implemented.

DXF drawing for beam design details New Feature

A DXF drawing in beam design is introduced to give Ast required at support & Mid-span, BM at support & Mid-span as well SF at support.

User defined combination of bar and diameter

Detailing of beam as per user defined bar and diameter data for beam design.

The data can be modified as per requirement in excel sheet at specified location.

New Feature

Design of beams by effective depth calculation New Feature

Design of beam by calculating effective depth automatically as per detailing.

If you give values for clear covers then depending on the reinforcement provided the effective covers will be calculated and accordingly the design will be checked.

Implementation of clause 7.1.1 for ductile Detailing of frame members

Improvement

As per Clause 7.1.1 of IS 13920 all the requirements of ductile detailing are applied to frame members which have a factored axial stress in excess of 0.1Fck under the effect of earthquake forces.

Pile design as per pile capacity New Feature

Design of piles as per user defined pile capacity.

Also have provision to give pile capacity table at required location to refer values for pile design.
