Tekla Structural Designer 2015 The Revolutionary Construction Software 3 From 6

All Head Codes-During the design Process, the process window reported that some steel beams\braces failed to design during the pre-sizing phase, this occurred when a none “I Section” order file had been selected.

All Head Codes-During the design process for concrete structures the FE and Grillage chase-down models which are created as part of the design process.

For all meshed walls the support nodes were being set as fully fixed, the user support condition was been ignored.

Material listing An exception which could occur when attempting to generate a material listing which included double angle steel sections.

Material listing Length of Concrete columns, the application now uses the full length of the column stack rather than the column stack design length.

Support reactions for walls which are rotated, were not being shown in the support co-ordinate system.

An exception which could occur when changing the slab type from a Composite Slab to Slab on Beams.

Deleting levels which could result in walls of zero height being left within the model and which were then not able to be deleted.

These walls are new automatically deleted.

When the seismic wizard is run. This generates special seismic load cases, But there is no way of subsequently deleting these load cases if they are no longer required.

A Delete Seismic command has been added, which now deletes all the seismic data, load cases and combinations.

Validation Short elements, the default Length for the error condition has changed from 10 mm to 2 mm and for the –warning condition it has changed from 100 mm to 20 mm.

These settings will only take effect in new models and only after the settings file has been reimported in to the application and set as the “Active” settings file.
