ROBOT Millennium v. 20.1 Maintenance Pack 2


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

2. RC calculations

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

3. Steel calculations

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.
