What's New

  • Added live section preview in the Geometry view for real-time visual feedback as you edit dimensions.
  • Added exposure class selection for setting environmental exposure conditions.

  • Fixed incorrect crack width calculations that were not using the correct neutral axis depth and section height.
  • Fixed cracking moment calculation for hogging (negative) moments.
