Minor bug fixes related to file handling and system files.
Build 2098 26-6-10
Bug relating to the determination of K4 (partial Seasoning factor) & K11 (Size Factor) when the principle axis
of the member is rotated . The issues relate on to the use of timber which is initially green, or the depth of
section exceed 300mm respectively.
Build 2079 13-5-10
When saving the DXF output, changes to the output directory was disabled. This has been corrected.
Build 2078 10-5-10
Problem with calculation of effective length coefficients for span segments over internal supports for Steel
Sections. The problem resulted in a conservative design when the top edge restraints were much less than
bottom restraints spacing (eg spacing <600 c/c).
Build 2028 26-2-10
Internal date formatting revised to reduce date compatibility problems when running under Windows 7.
Build 2024 25-2-10
CADEwind results table column headers revised to read Qs, Qp, and Qu.
Build 1996 28-01-10
New member Description list now able to be edited. (previously this list was not editable which meant that
erroneous entries etc could not be edited or deleted.) To edit the list, from the CADEcomp menu bar, select Set
> Descriptions... and follow the prompts.
Build 1995
27-01-10
Bug fix - CADEload Roof & Wall wind loads NOW applied correctly
Build 1992 - 26-1-10
CADEload Bug fixed relating to wind loads transfer form CADEwind. (Wind pressures displayed for active
surface now update correctly for direction of wind action)
Build 1832 – 2-9-09
Fixed bug related to the unexpected deletion of member mark, where the operation of renaming a mark is
subsequently cancelled.
Added check during the deletion of a mark such that members acted on can be deleted also.
Revised print date option such that the default is ‘Today’s Date’ if entry cell is previously blank.
Build 1691 – 25-5-09
Spelling errors fixed, minor bugs fixed.
Build 1546 – 19-12-08
Issue with unable to delete all ‘Ancillary members’ for list - Fixed
Build 1535
Issue with ‘Combination Data’ button not being active – Fixed.
Build 1520
Issue with short cut Keys addressed. (ie ALT+'M' adds moment etc) - Fixed
Issue with success/failure/retry mode icon in Mark list not showing (error from previous build) - Fixed
Build 1472
Issue with short cut Keys addressed. (ie ALT+'M' adds moment etc) - Fixed
Issue with success/failure/retry mode icon in Mark list not showing (error from previous build) - Fixed
Build 1465
Bug fixed relating to display of results when more than 5 spans + cantilever required. The calculation values were not in
error.
Shortcut keys to load data revised.
Build 1270
Issue relating to moment magnitude at LHE cantilever has been resolved.
The moment calculated at the LHE reaction of a cantilever beam was found to be 2x the actual. This lead to a
conservative design of the beam at this location.
Build 1184
Issue relating to applying a negative eccentric load has been fixed.
When applying an axial load at a prescribed eccentricity, if the eccentric distance was entered as negative, eg 10@-100
(10kN load at an eccentricity of 100mm to the left of the members center) the combined stress calculation subtracted the
stress due to the moment from the total stress rather that adding it.
