AutoStruct Section v0.4.1

Parabolic-Rectangular Stress Block & Analysis Corrections

ULS stress-strain model toggle with rectangular and parabolic-rectangular profiles (EC2 Eq. 3.17), plus interaction diagram and safety class fixes.

What's New

  • Added ULS stress-strain model toggle in the Concrete panel: choose between the rectangular stress block (EC2 Fig. 3.5, default) and the parabolic-rectangular profile (EC2 Eq. 3.17) for more accurate non-rectangular compression zone analysis

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed display settings (column visibility, show envelope subs, grouping mode) resetting when navigating between pages
  • Fixed Results panel growing excessively wide when utilization ratios exceed 100%, squeezing the cross-section view
  • Fixed interaction diagrams being broken (crossing lines, malformed surfaces) when using the parabolic-rectangular concrete stress block
  • Fixed incorrect reinforcement force direction shown in ULS analysis results (sign convention correction)
  • Fixed safety class factor (\(\gamma_d\)) incorrectly being applied for non-Swedish national annexes

Improvements

  • Swedish safety classes now use the SK1/SK2/SK3 notation and the associated \(\gamma_d\) factors have been corrected
  • Interaction diagram labels are now automatically decluttered: when many load combinations cluster together, only the most representative labels are shown
  • Dimension labels now sit closer to their lines and stay at a consistent distance regardless of zoom level
  • Moment arrows now display their value (e.g. "\(M_y\) = 21 kNm"), scale proportionally to moment magnitude, and only appear on the Load Cases and Load Combinations pages
  • Minor fixes to table keyboard navigation
  • Minor UI improvements to the Load Combinations page
  • General stability improvements and minor visual fixes
