4 (v2.1) Release Note 1. Material Nonlinear Analysis available for Beam elements Stress resultant beam model is introduced to apply beam elements in the material nonlinear analysis. In cases of nonlinear stability analysis for U-frame steel bridges, both beam elements and plate elements were used to represent cross beams and main girders, and previous version could not analyze this type of model Feature availability Non-composite steel section is only supported. (Channel, I-Section, T-Section, Box, Pipe, Rectangle, Round section only.) Von Mises material property only Linear elastic / perfectly plastic (Zero hardening) stress-strain curve Plastic axial force and bending moment about minor axis only calculated Coupled effect between axial force and moment not considered Material Nonlinear Analysis available for Plate elements Algorithm of material nonlinear analysis of a layer of plate element is updated from 3-dimensional condition base to plane stress condition base. Assumption of previous algorithm had some restrain on the in-plane deformation in a layer, which stiffness of a layer was overestimated in the previous version. Due to this change, the results of material nonlinear analysis in this version may be a bit different from the previous versions depending on the model. Plate Previous version : 3-dimensional base, 0 xx yy xy xz yz zz zz 1 xx yy E xy 1 1 0, 0 xz yz 1 xx 1 yy xy zz zz xz 2 yz 1 2 Updated version : plane stress base, 0, 0 xx yy xy zz zz Plane Stress condition xx 1 xx E yy 1 2 xx 1 xy 1 xy 2 4 / 35

Improvement on Moving Load Analysis Adjusting the number of multi processor for Sparse Gaussian solver now affects Moving Load Analysis speed (v2.1) Release Note Analysis > Analysis Options > Multi Frontal Sparse Gaussian 7 th DOF Warping DOF is now considered in Moving Load Analysis. Previously, it was not supported for Moving Load Analysis. Applicable analysis: Linear Static, Eigenvalue, Buckling, Response Spectrum, Construction Stage Analysis, Moving Load Analysis 5 / 35

6 2. Improvement on Moving Load Analysis (Continued) (v2.1) Release Note Traffic lane optimization feature is now available for Eurocode and UK code. Traffic lane optimization enables locating the assigned vehicle load at both edge of defined moving lane which provides more possibilities in worst case loading scenario for analysis result. Load > Moving Load > Traffic Line(Surface) Lanes Vehicle locations considered 6 / 35

7 3. Triple Friction Pendulum Isolator (v2.1) Release Note The Triple Friction Pendulum Isolator (TFPI) is newly introduced. Correct replication of unique characteristic of TFPI in software will broaden our user s program application boundary and modeling ability against seismic load cases. Here are special properties of TFPI Bearing properties of three pendulums are sequentially active at different earthquake strengths Stronger ground motion leads to increase in bearing displacement. Greater bearing displacement increases effective length and damping, which reduces seismic force and total displacement.

15 (v2.1) Release Note 4. Tendon Location for Composite Section In previous definition of section property for prestressed composite girders, program automatically assumed that tendons are located at Part 1, girder, of Composite section, which was not always true depending on the design codes. In new version, option is added for users to specify the part of composite section where tendon profile is passing. If nothing is specified, program will assume that tendon profiles pass through Part 1, which is the general case for pretensioned girders.

Cold-formed material DB as per EN10326, EN and EN has been newly implemented. Properties > Section Properties Properties > Material Properties UNI Upright Section SS Cold Formed Channel ICHA Double Angle 26 / 35

27 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note 4. Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties Warping DOF was newly introduced in release. In order to calculate the Warping constant, new methodology of calculating section property through internally generated mesh was introduced. However, there were errors in mesh generation, which lead to wrong section property calculation. Followings are common example of reported cases. Error: The inside of longitudinal stiffeners was filled. Error: When neutral axis was located within the slab, the inside of steel box was filled. 27 / 35

28 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties (Continued) All the problems described in the previous slide are fixed and enhanced in the new version, (v2.1). (v1.1) (v2.1) 28 / 35

29 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties (Continued) Also, mesh quality is improved in the new version, (v2.1), which will increase the accuracy of shear area. (v1.1) (v2.1) 29 / 35

30 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties (Continued) Model running time is much reduced in the new version, (v2.1). Test model 1 Steel Composite Girder Bridge Tapered Section Group 1901 elements Comparison Test model 2 Steel Composite Girder Bridge Tapered Section Group 4281 elements Comparison Running time Improvement Running time Improvement (v1.1) 2 hours (v1.1) 1 hour 19 min.

31 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties (Continued) There is no change in the calculation of the torsional constant of the Composite Steel-I, Composite-I section type in the new version, (v2.1). It is calculated as follows: Important notice: 1) Section properties can be different between previous version and new version. 2) Section properties calculated in the previous versions will not automatically be recalculated by just opening a model file (mcb format) in the new version, (v2.1). It will be recalculated only when hitting the Show Calculation Results button or the OK button in the Section dialog. 3) When mct file exported from the previous versions is imported into the new version, the section properties are automatically recalculated except for built-in database section. 31 / 35

32 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note 5. Improvement on Soil Pressure Soil pressure contours were provided on the beam, plate or solid elements representing subgrade beam, mat foundation or retaining wall. In the new version, following improvements have been made: For inclined foundation,projection area is accurately calculated Incorrectly calculated soil pressures at nodes where horizontal and vertical springs were simultaneously applied are now correctly calculated and saved separately. Effective area to calculate soil pressurewas initialized as zero when soil stiffness was modified in Point Spring Support Table. It is now corrected. Modulus of Subgradevalues can be checked and modified in Surface Spring Support table for compression-only type springs.

34 Pre & Post-Processing (v2.1) Release Note 7. Different Unit Setting for Tables and Graphs in Dynamic Report In the previous version, units of tables and graphs in the dynamic report were always identical to the global unit system. In the new version, different unit system can be specified by each tables and graphs separately. Tools > Dynamic Report Generator Report Tree Table/Chart Unit Dialog Box 34 / 35
