Date: 30.01.2009

Change(s):

  • New language: Russian.
  • New insulations: Foamglas and Polystyrene 0,031. Due to its excellent insulating properties Polystyrene 0,031 is selected by default. The old insulation Polystyrene (0,035) has now been deleted.
  • Printing of the structural analysis (previously list of items) and of the order list (previously list of positions) is now presented as a PDF file.
  • Internal corner cantilever balcony: Only normal elements are selected (previously +/- elements).
  • Partitioning of the elements for the cantilever balcony and for the beam supported balcony is now consistent. The selection of the elements was mathematically correct, but difficult to understand. Additionally the partitioning of the elements is now more economic.
  • Sectional drawings for the conical balcony is now presented correctly:
    Sectional drawing conical ha < he and
    Sectional drawing conical ha > he.
  • The default selected class of concrete strength for the Swiss standard is now C25/30 (previously C20/25).
