Releases Tagged: Steel Beam

Fixed an issue where point loads applied directly at support locations could cause an artificial spike in the shear diagram in some cases. (2025-08-14)

Repaired an issue that could prevent multispan beams from properly determining the negative moment near supports.  (Continuation of Cases 135502 and 135258)  (2025-08-07)

Corrected the steel solver to properly deduct web and flange area to account for slender elements. (2025-07-29)

Repaired the visibility of the Tributary Width @ End Location field for partial uniform loads on the Span Loads tab. (2025-07-21)

Coordinated the units on applied loads in the Loads All Spans tab.  When a uniform load has a tributary width of 1 foot, the program displays units of k/ft.  For any other tributary width, the program displays units of ksf. (2025-07-21)

Corrected an issue where the module might not find the critical moment if the Compression Edge Lateral Bracing was set to "Define Bracing Span-by-Span" or "Set Uniform Spacing".  (Continuation of Case 135258)  (2025-07-03) 

Corrected an issue where the module might not find the critical moment if the Compression Edge Lateral Bracing was set to "Define Bracing Span-by-Span" or "Set Uniform Spacing". (2025-06-24)

Corrected an issue where a specific set of modeling steps would cause a temporary phantom load until the calculation was reloaded. (2025-06-24)

Corrected the module to include the Cv2 factor when calculating the shear capacity of single angle and tee sections. (2025-05-30)

Repaired an issue that was causing the Steel Beam module to apply the incorrect shear force when performing the shear check.(2025-05-14)

Corrected the calculation of Mnx. (2025-05-07)

Corrected a bug that caused incorrect support index labeling on the Linked Loads tab, particularly when creating beams with left-hand cantilevers using default values or the "Clone" function. (2025-04-30)

Resolved an issue that caused the program to hang when toggling beam support fixity while the Beam Span Data tab was active. (2025-04-22)

Implemented the display of moment reactions at supports. (2025-04-21)

Corrected the reference to the span that produced the controlling ratio for downward transient deflection.  (2025-04-18)
