Changes in ROBOT Millennium 20.1.1,
implemented in Maintenance Pack 2 – 2007-07-20
1. Structure calculations
Graphic viewer:
- Correction of graphics-related errors occurring for some cards working in the environment of the Windows Vista system
Model generation:
- New databases of cold-bent steel sections for the markets of the USA and Canada.
- Extension of file saving/reading in the CIS/2 format:
- import of relative section offsets
- import of steel sections taking account of alternative names in section databases.
Calculations:
- Correction of the memory error for particular situations of supports with friction.
- Correction of the spectrum definition with an unneeded change to the logarithmic spectrum.
Results:
- Adaptations of descriptions of reaction diagrams to the currently-set preferences.
Remaining issues:
- Correction of detailed errors
General:
- Correction of the error of loosing objects while starting calculations with switching to the drawing layout.
Beam calculations:
- BAEL code: correction of calculations of “bielles” struts
Spread footing calculations:
- BAEL code: correction of a calculation note
- Correction of work of calculations from the list
Remaining issues:
- Correction of detailed errors
Steel member design:
- Possibility of calculations according to the Spanish code SEA:2006.
- Additional check of a value of the Weff coefficient (EC3:2005) by comparison with the elastic coefficient.
Connection design:
- Taking account of a change of dimensions of welded bars (plate girders) in the connection update.
- CM66 code: taking account of the verification due to rotation in the pinned column base check.
- PN code: supplementation of calculation notes with information concerning some elements (plates, brackets) in the beam-column connection.
Remaining issues:
- Correction of detailed errors.
