New Features

  • Improved minimum reinforcement check (7.3.2): can now automatically calculate the resulting crack width with the selected reinforcement stress. Press the cogwheel next to the 7.3.2 Design Check to test this feature.

Improvements

  • National annex preference is now remembered: when you start a new project, the program automatically selects the last national annex you used.
  • Improved beam visualization with reorganized controls and separate ULS/SLS utilization display with progress bars.
  • Concrete stress check (7.2(2)) is now always visible in the design checks list. When exposure class is not XD, XF or XS, the check displays 0% with an explanation that it's not required. An info popup with the Eurocode reference has also been added.
  • Improved charts. Especially for envelope combinations and the newly introduced 'Comparison Mode'.
  • Improved anchorage length calculation display: when multiple rebar diameters are present in the model, the calculation is now shown separately for each diameter for better clarity.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where information popup buttons throughout the program required clicking twice before opening.
  • Fixed an issue where mouse wheel scrolling did not work inside calculation detail popups.
  • Fixed an issue where users with certain Windows regional settings could not input decimal values in textboxes.
  • Fixed an issue in reinforcement spacing checks (section 8.2).
