v1.0.11-Stable Release (Windows)/ Beta Release(MacOS -ARM)
This is the second stable version (v1.0.11) of MSASect2 for the Windows platform and a beta version for the MacOS ARIMplatform, released on 01 Feb 2024.
Changes
Section Properties
Calculations:
- Introduced the modelling of compound channel sections in template module and the section properties are also obtained now based on fully composite assumptions using centreline model.
- Modelling of cross-sections with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) material using the Outline model is now supported.
- Section properties for cross-sections with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) material are now obtainable.
- Introduced the modelling of Bamboo section in template module and the section properties are also obtained now by CST or NPT element.
Section Buckling
Calculations:
- In centreline model, the degree of freedom (DOF) setting is supported when section buckling analysis is performed.
- Finite strip analysis for built-up steel sections is supported by adding the spring stiffness to model the connections, like screws or bolts, between two individual cross-sections.
Others
- "View" tab is added to the main window, and the visualization is more flexible.
- Some functions are updated.
Fixings
- Several bugs have been fixed.
- Some typos have been corrected.
