AutoStruct Section v0.4.0
SLS Stress Checks and Moment Visualization
SLS quasi-permanent concrete stress check per EC2 7.2(3), automatic envelope regeneration, moment arrows on section preview, and EC2 2023 preview.
What's New
- Added SLS quasi-permanent concrete stress check (\(\sigma_c \leq 0.45 \cdot f_{ck}\)) per EC2 7.2(3), with support for characteristic, frequent, and quasi-permanent limit states
- Envelope combinations now automatically regenerate when basic loads, \(\psi\) factors, or security class change: no manual regeneration needed
- Moment arrows now overlay on the section preview, showing direction and relative magnitude of applied moments
- Bending check detail popup now displays \(N_{Ed}\), \(M_{Ed}\), and \(M_{Rd}\) values
- Added Bottom layers control to multi-layer quick pattern
- Eurocode 2 (2023) is now available for selection in the toolbar (Preview)
Improvements
- Selecting or deselecting basic loads is now significantly faster and no longer triggers unnecessary chart updates
- Security class selector moved to the Load Combinations tab for easier access
- \(\cot\theta\) setting moved to the Shear Reinforcement view where it belongs
- General improvements to design check recalculation responsiveness
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the Results tab remaining hidden when only auto-generated envelope combinations were present
- Fixed formulas not rendering for checks involving moment units (e.g., bending, torsion)
- Fixed uncracked SLS check incorrectly appearing as failed instead of passed
- Fixed crash when submitting feedback in the feedback dialog
- Fixed issue with adding bars in multi-layer mode in quick patterns
