STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition V22 Update 11

487585 Generic GUI Updates - The details of copyright displayed in the Help>About dialog, is now provided in a localised format.
487616 Documentation and Printing - The routine used to include the Steel Design Detail for a design to AISC 360-10 or AISC 360-05 in a User Report has been updated to catch a formatting issue which caused the routine to crash.
487631 The method used to process the CONSTATS and MATERIALS commands has been revised to improve handling blocks where a named property is associated with multiple material definitions.
487632 Generic GUI Updates - The method used to display profiles defined in the Indian cold formed steel database has been revised to make better use of properties included in the database.
487652 Analysis/Design Engine - The cross section capacity check performed in the Indian steel design of slender wide flange sections has been refined. The initial check is performed to clause 8.2.1.1. Then the capacity is calculated using cl 8.2.1.2 and 8.2.1.3. Cl 8.2.1.3 deals with high shear condition. If a member has high shear, only then capacity will be calculated using Cl: 9.2.2. Cl: 8.2.1.1 deals with webs susceptible to shear buckling. If the member is susceptible, then the shear area will be reduced. This member will then go on to check if High shear is applicable. For member with a slender web and non-slender flange, the area of the section is reduced irrespective of whether Cl: 8.2.1.1 is applicable. Then the high shear condition is checked and the capacity is found. (Note this was previously documented as a known issue)
487680 Analytical Workflow - The GUI handling of profiles defined in the Brazilian welded I (CS) table has been updated to allow these to be specified as other types of wide flange profile, i.e. they can now be defined as tee profiles and with cover plates. Note however, it is not supported as a double profile.
487687 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The routine that manages the association of design envelopes with slabs in the Advanced Slab Design Workflow has been updated to ensure that as envelopes/slabs are edited, the association is correctly updated.
487700 Physical Model Workflow - The details of rigid floor diaphragms defined in the physical model are added into the STD data file in the correct location. However, when returning to the Analytical Workflow, the option to add Floor Diaphragm options from the Analysis and Design ribbon, resulted in the options being added in the incorrect location in the STD file. This has been corrected. Note however, that despite this being added in the Analytical Workflow, this will modify a command generated by the Physical workflow and should be monitored whilst updates to the Physical Model are introduced.
487717 Analysis/Design Engine - The engine has been updated to support the inclusion of UNIT commands defined inside the Reference Load Case commands.
487756 OpenSTAAD - The function to obtain a list of load cases included in any of the defined LOAD LIST commands, GetLoadCountInLoadList() has been updated to prevent the function from failing with runtime error 438.

487796 Post Processing Workflow - The Member Query dialog has been updated to improve the formatting used in the tables reporting the forces and deflection.
487804 Analytical Workflow - The display of wind loading on taper members when using the open structures method has been updated to align with that used and reported in the output file. Previously the GUI displayed the intensity based on a reduced projected surface area.
487809 Analytical Workflow - The display of wind loading on double angle members when using the open structures method has been updated to align with that used and reported in the output file. Previously the GUI displayed the intensity based on load applied to a single angle.
487821 Post Processing Workflow - The Results Setup dialog has been updated to better handle and reload the selection of load cases that have been defined in envelopes.
487841 Post Processing Workflow - The routine that generates the the result graph from a defined cutline through a series of plates has been updated to better handle producing results from collections of plates that are discontinuous. Previously, this would have resulted in no graph being reported.
487894 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The save and save as dialog box in the Section Wizard module has been updated to correctly refer to the file types *CNS, *.CON and *.SEC as the associated Free Sketch and Section Builder files.
487918 Other Workflows - A number of text strings used in the Steel AutoDrafter Workflow have been moved into a resource library to allow them to be translated for the localised versions of STAAD.Pro
487927 OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function to add a definition of a parametric model to the STAAD model, i.e Geometry.AddParametricSurfaceToModel() has been updated to improve the initial mesh size when base unit is specified as English.
487930 OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Load.AddSeismicLoad() has been updated to account for the range of different seismic load definitions, including IBC 2018.
487931 Generic GUI Updates - When updating STAAD.Pro from an earlier version, a message reporting the details of a backup of configuration settings is displayed, although this was on occasion being hidden such that it suggested the installation may have stalled. This message box is now set to be more prominent so that it is clear action is needed to progress the installation.
487934 OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Output.GetMemberEndDisplacements() has been updated to ensure that the input variable to determine the end from which the result is to be reported is correctly managed.
487935 Documentation and Printing - The details of the return value for the OpenSTAAD function Geometry.AddSolid() has been updated to clarify that this is typically the number of the solid eluent that has been created, with -1 indicating a general error, -2001 , cannot find node(s), -5004 unable to add solid.
487940 OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Load.AddSeismicLoad() has been updated to ensure that the parameter for direction are correctly assigned, i.e. 1=X, 2=Y and 3=Z
487941 Documentation and Printing - The details of the direction parameter for the OpenSTAAD function Load.AddSeismicLoad() have been updated to clarify that 1=X, direction, 2=Y direction and 3=Z direction.
487942 Analytical Workflow - The processing of the steel design command TRACK has been updated to validate the assigned value against the specified code.
487946 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The Section Wizard - Freesketch module routine that generates a profile in a STAAD.Pro General UPT file to be consumed as an external UPT table, has been updated to ensure that the points that are used to display the shape in a 3D rendered view, have been orientated in line with the member local axes. Note that the axes are mapped such that in Section Wizard the U-U axes corresponds to the local Z axis in STAAD.Pro (or local Y with a model using Z UP)
487958 Documentation and Printing - Clarification added to the parameters of ACI 318-14 such that if using a TRACK 0, then the command TAKE OFF to report the material quantities is currently not supported.
487969 Extern general UPT table is enable to add, edit and delete the sections in this version.
487980 Analytical Workflow - The description provided for the various TRACK parameter options in the concrete design dialogs, have been re-written to better suit the available space and formatting.
488003 Analytical Workflow - The method used to mirror selected parts of the model has been updated to ensure that any newly created entities that have self weight assigned in one or more load cases, have the self weight copied onto them too.
488007 Analytical Workflow - The logic used by the routine that converts an applied wind loading in a given direction onto the model by determining the regions that are surrounded by a connected collection of members has been improved. It can now better account for situations where a node in the identified wind panel could induce additional loading onto members that define a panel on an additional panel that is actually protected by the first panel.
488008 Analysis/Design Engine - The Eurocode 5 timber design has been updated to better account for profiles that have been defined as non-rectangular which the routine is not designed to support.
488011 Analysis/Design Engine - The message reported by the design of timber sections, not from the Canadian timber database, to the Canadian CSA086-01 code, has been updated to clarify that this is outside the current scope and only profiles defined in the Canadian timber database are supported.
488016 Analytical Workflow - The routine used to copy/paste members into the model has been updated to better handle the associated material assignment lists when multiple material definitions have been used.
488027 Analytical Workflow - The routine used to define a MEMBER TAKE OFF command has been updated to ensure that when the command file is created with this command assigned to a GROUP, it uses the parameter keyword LIST to ensure that when the command is processed, only those in the list are included in the output.
488032 Analysis/Design Engine - The Eurocode 5 timber design module has been updated to correct the details of actual tensile stress perpendicular to the grain reported in the output file when a TRACK 2 output is specified.
488033 Analysis/Design Engine - The Eurocode 5 timber design has been updated to account for the direction of load to grain alignment (i.e. ALPHA) in the effect of tensile stress while evaluating for lateral torsional stability check as per Cl.6.3.3.(3).
488042 Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel AutoDrafter Workflow that displays prismatic and tapered tube sections has been updated to improve the naming convention accounting for the different base units. Note that the name provided for tapered sections will be based on the end depth dimension.
488045 Post Processing Workflow - The routine that displays the 'Force Limits - Stress' on members has been updated to support when the selected load case is the envelope (i.e. the collection defined in the Results Setup)
488052 Post Processing Workflow - The details of the member slenderness checks reported in the Member Query dialog for a member designed to the Eurocode EN-1993-1-1has been updated to display in the correct cell of the displayed table. Note that his issue did not impact the design of the members in any way.
488055 Generic GUI Updates - The routine that creates/updates the *.STD command file has been updated to ensure that if a command such as STEEL TAKE OFF is specified with a group name rather than simple list of members, then the command includes the keyword LIST before the group name (which is identified starting with an underscore character, e.g. STEEL TAKE OFF LIST _GROUP1)
488062 Analysis/Design Engine - Models which have included the option to use a cracked concrete profile using the Indian code, IS1893-2016, as defined in the help topic TR.20.10 Member Property Reduction Factors, now accounts for the reduction in properties according to the code for dynamic load cases such as when a response spectrum loading is defined.
488081 Other Workflows - The Steel AutoDrafter Workflow has been updated to ensure that when generating drawings that are not in the global planes , then vertical members in the selected plane are included in the drawing.
488082 Generic GUI Updates - The routine that parses a file when it is opened has been updated to better handle a situation where a member has been assigned multiple materials. Under certain situations this would result in rogue messages being reported. This has been addressed and now only a warning message is reported on those members stating that the values of the last assigned material will be used.
488091 Validation checks has been introduced to restrict input of negative factor under SRSS load combination.
488095 Post Processing Workflow - The display of a moving load vehicle has been updated to ensure that the location of the defined vehicle is included as well as the loads as was provided in the earlier V8i versions.
488097 Analytical Workflow - The display of trapezoidal pressure loads on plates has been updated to ensure that if the pressure on either side of the plate is defined with the same magnitude (i.e. defining a constant pressure across the plate), then the direction in which the pressure is displayed remains in the applied direction rather than the direction in which the load would vary. Note that this issue did not affect the analysis, it was purely an issue in the display routine.
488103 Generic GUI Updates - The Node Query dialog has been updated to ensure that when the Load information is displayed is displayed by clicking on the Load button, the data that is displayed is consistent with the current displayed load case.
488122 Other Workflows - The Chinese Steel Design Workflow has been updated to better handle wide flange sections defined in an external UPT which have different sized upper and lower flanges
488148 Analytical Workflow - The Load & Definition dialog that allows for the definition of a time history load specification has been updated to ensure that when a definition is created with the option 'Consider Missing Mass' checked, then the command created in the STD file includes the keywords MISSING MASS to include in solving the time history loads.
488152 Analytical Workflow - The routine that updates the Timber Design dialog controls has been updated to ensure that it is possible to add a Check Code command if the dialog is repeatedly opened.
488164 Post Processing Workflow - The method used to display the stress results in a graph window in the Graphs Layout (right click and select Diagrams…) has been updated to ensure that the colour used to display the graph is that shown in the Diagrams dialog.

488211 Analytical Workflow - A rouge message box that was displayed when attempting to enter the arrival times in a time history definition in the Loads & Definitions dialog has been removed from the program.
488229 Analysis/Design Engine - A new warning/error message has been added to all design codes that does not support physical member design if a physical member design is requested.
488239 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The link provided in the FreeSketch module of Section Wizard has been updated to point directly to the relevant section in the user help documentation rather than that for Section Builder which was previously implmented.
488248 Post Processing Workflow - The routine that is used to allow the values displayed in results tables to be changed to a different unit (right click and select the option 'Change Unit for this column') has been updated to ensure that the data is updated immediately. Note that this will also update any other column in any table that is based on this same unit.
488280 Analysis/Design Engine - The TRACK 2 heading for the transverse bars for a column design to ACI 318-2014 has been updated to reflect the link type specified with the REINF parameter.

488289 Documentation and Printing - The User Report tool has been updated to include details of node supports which have been defined with a one way specification, i.e. tension or compression only.
488290 Post Processing Workflow - The member stress view for members defined as tapered wide flange (Tapered-I) has been updated to better display the location of the four corner stress points depending where the section cut is located. Additionally, the member query elevation view accounts for the way the section profile changes. However, please note that the correct definition of a taper is that the depth of section at start node should be greater than the depth of section at end node. If necessary the member should be defined with the nodes reversed. Refer to the help topic, TR.20.3 Tapered Member Specification.
488291 Analytical Workflow - The dialog that is displayed when editing a section profile that has been specified with the 'Define…' option in the Properties dialog box has been updated to ensure that the associated material is displayed. Previously the dialog would be displayed with the default 'steel' material.
488292 Generic GUI Updates - The rendering of tapered members both in the Structure Diagrams and 3D Rendered View has been updated to better account for the relative position relative to its centroidal axis.
488297 Analytical Workflow - The routine used to define a uniformly distributed member weight as part of a seismic definition has been updated to ensure that if the starting position of the load is set at 0.0, this value is inserted into the command file. Previously, a value of 0.0 would not be included and the command would be incomplete and result in an error when processed by the analysis.
488298 Generic GUI Updates - The routine used to control the display of a model being rotated by holding the right button and dragging has been updated. Note that the centre of rotation can be set as any node by clicking on the node whilst holding down the CTRL and Shift keys.
488313 General GUI Updates - The Properties sheet of a Member Query dialog has been updated to provide a better representation of the cross section of tapered tubes.
488329 General GUI Updates - The Properties sheet of a Member Query dialog has been updated to provide a better representation of the cross section of double angle sections defined with the short leg back to back.

488342 Analysis/Design Engine - The routine that processes the one way attributes of a member, i.e. MEMBER COMPRESSION and MEMBER TENSION, has been updated to support defining the list using the option ALL.
488344 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The default values associated with each of the shapes provided with the Parametric Sections routine in the Section Wizard - FreeSketch app, have been updated such that they do not violate any of the conditional checks if a profile is created without changing any of these default values.
488362 Analytical Workflow - Whilst there is a specifically designed workflow for the creation and management of physical models, there is a routine in the analytical workflow that can create physical members to be used with a generic analytical model. The routine that allows the creation and deletion of these physical members in the analytical model has been updated to support the undo/redo actions. Note that this does not apply to the models that are created in the Physical Workflow, unless they have been dropped. Physical members created in the Physical Workflow are managed in that environment and cannot be edited in the Analytical Workflow. create and deleted physical member can execute redo and undo.
488364 Post Processing Workflow - The routine that displays a time history result plot has the option to display an average based on the results of a collection of nodes defined in a group which can be selected when the time history layout is first displayed. However, previously, this option displayed all groups rather than just node groups for which the routine is designed.
488366 Analytical Workflow - The routine that is provided to allow consecutive members to be merged into a single analytical member has been updated to ensure that if there is a defined release assigned to the start of the first member of the collection of members being merged, then that release is retained and assigned to the start of the final member that is the resultant of the merge process.
488369 Analytical Workflow - The Job Information provided in the Info section of the backstage has been updated to ensure that if a series of comments have been added or edited, then the edited list is saved with the model. Previously, whilst additional comments could be added, the GUI would not remove any comments that were deleted.
488372 Analytical Workflow - The option to save the data of the STAAD file in an expanded format can be set in the Configurations dialog. However, in doing so, the commands that assigned materials was being written without the MEMBER keyword before the member number. Now the correct syntax is generated for materials using the expanded list format.
488384 Analytical Workflow - The tool that allows a section of objects to be duplicated by mirroring in a specified plane has been updated such that if the option to Mirror Member Orientation is specified, if necessary a new beta angle is created and assigned to the new members. Note that this is designed for symmetrical sections. Where the member has an unsymmetrical profile such as an angle, additional work may be necessary to account for the change in shape that the mirror action should introduce.
488388 Generic GUI Updates - The method used to display a circular hollow tube section in the 3D rendered view that has been defined as a curved member has been updated so that it is displayed correctly.
488395 Analytical Workflow - The method used to merge a selection of beams has been updated to ensure that if one or more do not have a material assigned, the procedure still continues to check and assign any defined beta angle that has been specified from the various beta angles in the selected members.
488397 The inclined support definition dialog is modified to show the correct parameter settings when edited.
488412 Analytical Workflow - The routine that is used to manage loads on members which are sub-divided such as buy inserting nodes, has been updated to ensure that if any self-weight commands have been assigned to the original member in any load case, then that loading is applied to any new members that are created.
488413 General GUI Updates - The Properties sheet of a Member Query dialog has been updated to provide a better representation, and wall thickness of the cross section of circular hollow sections (pipes) defined in a User Provided Table, UPT.
488417 Generic GUI Updates - The Properties sheet in the Member Query dialog has been updated to display the property values using the format defined in the Options>Section Units dialog.
488421 Analytical Workflow - The method used to display loading has been updated to trap a situation which might occur if a load definition used in the current load case has been deleted. For example a wind definition used in the load case is deleted, then the display now identifies the definition as missing, but does not crash the program as would occur previously.
488430 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The icons used to display a number of cold formed section profiles in the Section Database Manager have been updated to better reflect the profile shape associated with the selected table.
488434 Analysis/Design Engine - The routine used with designs of models with the alignment defined with SET Z UP to the Norwegian code NS3472 has been updated to remove excess lines that were being reported in the output file.
488438 Generic GUI Updates - The routine that is used to display the assigned material on the structural objects has been updated to correctly identify the material. Previously a simplified logic was used that could result in a simpler named material if such a material was included in the model.
488442 Interoperability - The routine that is used to import a model from a DXF file has been updated to improve the processing of plates which are defined with four nodes, but two nodes are identical. In such cases this should define a triangular plate and avoid having a duplicate node.
488446 Analytical Workflow - The routine used to display the profiles in the User Table Manager has been updated to ensure that the units displayed are consistent with that defined in the file or the current length unit for new tables.
488447 Analysis/Design Engine - The US timber design to the AITC code has been updated to provide clarification that if a member has failed in slenderness, then the design checks will terminate. This means that if the other checks are performed, an even higher failure ratio may be achieved.
488450 OpenSTAAD - The function Property.SetMaterialID() previously documented is a non-operational function has been formally deprecated. The alternative function Property.SetMaterialName() should be used in its place.
488451 Analytical Workflow - The routine used in merging members has been modified to ensure that the local direction of the component members is taken into account when converting concentrated loads into loads on the new resulting member.
488453 Analytical Workflow - The Load& Definition dialog used to insert the Load Generation (i.e. to automatically create primary load cases of a defined vehicle), allows the inclusion of a pre-defined primary load case. Typically this is defined after all primary load cases, but if it has been inserted before the end of the primary load case definitions, then when editing it, the option to select a primary load case to include is filtered to only those cases already defined before the command in the file. Additionally the routine that is called when a load case is selected and deleted in the GUI has been updated to ensure that if the Load Generator is defined, that does not also get deleted.
488459 Analytical Workflow - The method used by the Load & Definition dialog to manage the definitions of load envelopes has been updated to ensure that if all load envelopes have been deleted, then the section text DEFINE ENVELOPE is also removed from the STD file when the file is saved.
488462 Analytical Workflow - The dialog used to specify a response spectrum to Eurocode 8 2004 specification has been updated to account for the different spectra that would be generated in the horizontal and vertical directions. That means that a definition using X and Z directions is supported, but not X and Y, nor Z and Y. To account for both horizontal and vertical spectra, two separate load cases, each defining one direction should be created and the results combined as needed.
488465 Documentation and Printing - The routine that exports a User Report has been updated to include the type of beam load and unit when exporting a Beam Loads table to match the table displayed in the User Report.
488466 Documentation and Printing - The User Report has been updated to include the data associated with multi-linear supports.
488474 Analysis/Design Engine - The steel design code API 2A has been updated to catch a situation which could prevent the punching shear check reports from being generated and reported in the output.
488492 Analytical Workflow - The routine that displays the global axes symbol on the main graphics window has been updated to ensure that if the vertical axes system is changed in the Configuration dialog, when a new model is started, the global axes symbol is aligned to reflect the current setting.
488498 Generic GUI Updates - The Property sheet of a Member Query dialog has been updated to display the width of both flanges of a wide flange section defined in a User Provided Table, UPT where the two flanges are defined with different widths.
488502 Analytical Workflow - The routine used in the Steel Design dialog that process the API 2A deign parameters has been updated to ensure that all the parameters defined for that code can be edited.
488503 Generic GUI Updates - The Property sheet of a Member Query dialog has been updated to better report the dimensions of a prismatic circle and circular hollow section (pipe) defined in a User Provided Table
488511 Analytical Workflow - The routine that is provided in the Member Query dialog to modify releases on a member has been updated to better handle models with a metric unit system. Previously, if the start or end release was defined with a spring, then if the releases were modified, the values of the spring were not being correctly written out to the file.
488513 Documentation and Printing - The routine used to export a User Report has been updated to better handle data in an output table 'Beam Maximum Relative Displacements' such that for any member, if there is no valid result for the value of Span/Max Z, typically caused by a member being rotated through 90 degrees and defined in a plane frame model, has a value of 0 reported. Previously this caused the export to misalign the data in the exported table which has now been rectified.
488521 Analytical Workflow - The dialog provided to enter the specifications of a cable analysis has been updated to better handle displaying the appropriate parameters needed in the case of a basic or advanced cable analysis.
510113 The Editor, Viewer and Other Modules - The routine used in the Section Builder module of the Section Wizard application that is used to export a profile into a STAAD User Provided Table (UPT) as a GENERAL profile has been updated to include the warping constant Iw, which is identified as the parameter HSS in the UPT. Note that this is only valid for single profiles, for built up profiles, this value should be specified manually.
542213 Analysis/Design Engine - The reporting output for Russian steel design per SNiP 2.23-81 has been updated to better capture a member which has slenderness as the controlling design criteria. Further, it is ensured that the clause reported in the member query dialog box is consistent with the clause producing the maximum effect reported in the ANL. It also includes a minor fix to properly print the bending checks which, in some cases, were missing from the ANL.
544249 Element Joint Load has been renamed as Region Node Load and moved under Nodal Load group
608021 Documentation and Printing - The AISC LRFD verification documents have been reformatted to better illustrate the validation provided.
618712 Documentation and Printing - An additional link has been provided in the Macro Editor to directly access the OpenSTAAD API documentation.
618713 Generic GUI Updates - The routine used to process a data file during a file open event has been modified to address a performance issue when processing very old models that had material data defined separately as CONSTANT data and not in the current format of material objects. Note that after opening such files, if they are saved again, then the data is saved in the current material object format.
619238 OpenSTAAD - The OpenSTAAD function Design.CreateDesignBrief() has been updated to ensure that all design codes can be created.
625162 Analysis/Design Engine - The concrete design routine to the IS-13920:2016 code has been updated to a memory violation that could occur when performing a column joint check.
626698 Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of the two SET commands, SET NOWARNING and SET NONOTE, has been updated to extend the range of locations in the output file that will now avoid having warnings and notes added for guidance, to now include the design section of the output.
645772 Physical Model Workflow - The undo/redo process has been updated to ensure that if a load case is deleted, then reinstated using the redo action, then the original id of the load case will also be returned.
646494 Generic GUI Updates - The display of rectangular prismatic members (i.e. defined with the dimensions YD and ZD) have been updated to display in their correct orientation when the model has been defined with the SET Z UP option, i.e. global Z being the vertical axis.
662045 OpenSTAAD - The function Geometry.GetNoOfSelectedPhysicalMembers(() has been corrected to return the count of selected physical members.
668098 Generic GUI Updates - The program has been updated to manage a situation where the quick access toolbar (QAT) is not correctly formatted which previously caused the application to crash.
668104 Other Workflows - A routine used by a number of components in the Steel Connection Design Workflow and Physical Model Workflow to manage data has been updated to prevent the control from causing a crash if attempting to edit data where no data is currently defined, and the up arrow key pressed
668140 OpenSTAAD - The function Geometry.GetSelectedPhysicalMembers(() has been corrected to return the list of selected physical members in an array.
681376 Documentation and Printing - The help topic, Home > Ribbon Control Reference > Results tab > Results Setup dialog, has been updated to clarify that the Increments value specified here is not used by tables generated by the Results>Reports ribbon.

683706 Analysis/Design Engine - The axial and bending capacity calculations are corrected for RHS/SHS sections that are classified as slender, which were over-conservative when designed to the Australian steel design code AS4100-1998.
693658 Analysis/Design Engine - The design of members to the Indian steel code IS800:2007 uses a method to only use the values assigned to KY and KZ with a non p-delta analysis which was introduced in V22 Update 5. However, if the KG option was specified with the P-delta analysis, this method was not being used and the values assigned to KY and KZ were also being used. This has now been corrected and if the KG option has been set with the P-Delta analysis, the design will still use values of KY and KZ as 1.0 as with the other settings of the P-delta command.
698863 Analysis/Design Engine - The Russian steel design code per SP 16.13300:2011 has been updated to fix the reporting of deflection design results which were missing from the output file..
705169 Documentation and Printing - The help topic 'TR.19.9 I Section.' has been updated to clarify that when this profile is used in a design module, it is only valid to use with checks, and not SELECT or SELECT OPTIMISED
709174 Generic GUI Updates - The routine that manages the different workflow layouts has been updated to account for users who click on the Building Planner Workflow whilst currently operating in the Chinese Steel Design Workflow. This is not a sequence that would normally be expected and appropriate messaging and GUI handling has been included.
714532 Analysis/Design Engine - The joint check design routine for IS13920:2016 has been updated to catch situations where the model includes inactive members which when encountered, would cause the design to crash.

STAAD PRO GENERATED DATA DO NOT MODIFY !!!' and then terminated by the text '!> END GENERATED DATA BLOCK', is missing the terminating text. Previously, the GUI would not report this, but would result in an error being thrown by the engine when the analysis is performed. Note that the error is indicated by the text encountered immediately after the location where the end marker would typically be expected to be.
875750 Analysis/Design Engine - The design of taper members to the Eurocode EN-1993-1-1 code has been updated to ensure that each taper profile is designed with the the properties associated with its dimensions.

884136 Analytical Workflow - The procedure used in the assignment of a composite deck has been modified to catch an issue that would occur if the members being assigned did not have a material defined which caused the application to crash. In order to define a composite deck zone, the members should all be defined with suitable profiles and materials.
884420 Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection Design Workflow that identifies the various components of a Chord Branches connection (CHB) and Truss Gusset Branches connection (TGB), has been updated to better identify the beams that would make up the braces.
884459 Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection Design Workflow that allows the connections defined as Beam/Girder to be swapped (i.e. the member which is the primary girder for the connection detail), though clicking the ribbon icon 'Identify Beam and Girder', has been updated to ensure that once the editing has been completed in the table displayed and the OK clicked, the refresh of the connections did not cause the application to crash which could occur when the connection were horizontal.
885906 Documentation and Printing - The user documentation topic TR.26.1 Define Material has been updated to include details of the optional TYPE parameter.
886034 Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection Design Workflow to render the beam above a column with cap-plate and beam splices has been updated to use the same colour for the beam sections on either side of the connection.
Other Workflows - The routine used in the Steel Connection Design Workflow to design HSS Columns with cap-plates has been updated to account for the orientation of the column profile such that if a beta angle of 90 or 270 degrees is assigned, then the column orientation is set to 'Transversal' in the design. Note that other angles are not supported, all other beta angles will be designed as a 'Longitudinal' orientation, although can be set as 'Transversal' in the connection pad.

889323 Generic GUI Updates - The management of the controls provided in the View ribbon to manage Views has been updated to better handle the Rename View control. This should only be activated when the views have been saved. Previously, this was not being reset correctly meaning that it was still active when it shouldn't and if clicked would cause the application to crash.
890008 Other Workflows - The routine that processes member profile definitions in the Steel AutoDrafter Workflow has been updated to address an issue which was failing to correctly reference the profile of members that have also been defined as part of a physical member.
890712 Interoperability - The import of a model using iTwin Services into the Physical Model Workflow, has been updated to address an issue that would occur if one or more members were defined without any material definition. These members are now allocated a default material 'Unnamed' which has no material property data associated, so would need to be edited before analysis or another suitable material assigned in its place.
892631 Generic GUI Updates - The logic that is provided with the View Management control to create a library of sub-models which can be viewed in isolation from the rest of the model, called Detach View, has been updated to allow multiple such sub models to be created. Previously, once one such sub-model view was created, the control would disable the command and not allow additional views to be created.
895449 Analysis/Design Engine - Concrete column design to IS-13920:2016 and 1993 has been restructured to improve the time that was being taken for the shear design by eliminating a performance drag which had been identified.

The test would previously occasionally incorrectly identify a failure of the regions nodes being not within the zone defined by the parent surface.
896470 Generic GUI Updates - A number of text strings which were previously hard coded as English text, which are used in the Chinese Steel Design Workflow have not been moved to an associated resource library to allow them to be localised.
897137 Analytical Workflow - The routine used by the Load Combination dialog to validate the creation of a new load combination has been updated to address an issue which was identifying an edit of an existing load combination as being a new combination with an id that already existed and thus reported it as invalid. This logic has been corrected.
899220 Analytical Workflow - The 'Howe Bridge' truss wizard provided in the Structure Wizard module has been updated to validate that the number of bays in the truss span must be even due to the required symmetry of this type of truss. Previously attempting to specify an odd number would cause the application to crash.
901879 Documentation and Printing - Clarification has been provided to explain the logic in how the contour maps are determined from the plate centre an/or corner forces/stresses.
902534 Analysis/Design Engine - The routine used by a number of steel design codes that processes a member selection command which has been used in conjunction with a load list of envelopes in the load list such both strength and serviceability envelopes are included, has been updated to address an issue that could cause the final step to fail, although the optimum profile has been identified. This applies to the AISC 360:05/10, IS 800:07, CAN S16-09/14/19, NZS3404 steel design codes.
902554 Generic GUI Updates - The display of RHS sections defined in a TUBE UPT, have been updated to display in their correct orientation when the model has been defined with the SET Z UP option, i.e. global Z being the vertical axis. The display of UPT Box members have been updated to display in their correct orientation when the model has been defined with the SET Z UP option.
902558 Analytical Workflow - The procedure used in the assignment of a composite deck has been modified to catch an issue that would occur if the members being assigned did not have a section profile defined. Now a suitable guidance message is displayed confirming this requirement. In order to define a composite deck zone, the members should all be defined with suitable profiles and materials.
902645 Other Workflows - The Chinese steel design routine has been updated to correctly handle designs which include multiple taper members.
904152 Generic GUI Updates - The AutoRecovery service included in STAAD.Pro has been updated to better manage permissions associated with the backup files to ensure that if read/write permissions are not granted, then the program does not terminate when opening a file.

907982 Analysis/Design Engine - The processing of the MODAL CALCULATION REQUESTED command has been updated to trap and report a warning if the option MISSING MASS is added when the eigen method has previously been defined as Ritz Vector, as this method is not supported. The mode shapes will be calculated, but not using MISSING MASS.
909840 Analysis/Design Engine - The design of concrete columns in tension to the Indian IS-456:2000 code has been updated such that the determination of the minimum percentage of reinforcement is based on the required area based on the applied loading as per clause 26.5.3.1 b) rather than the actual provided area as was implemented previously.
910286 Analysis/Design Engine - The module for designing cold formed sections to the Indian IS-801:1975 code has been updated to correct the determination of the effective element buckling width and the neutral axis to of very thin UPT sections such as angles with lips, channels with and without lips and hat profiles. Note that this is a further update on the modification implemented in V22 Update 10 (see issue 685056)
910736 Analysis/Design Engine - The memory management implemented has been updated to improve handling models with large numbers of finite elements and load cases/combinations resulting in the production of large result data sets for the the plate corner forces calculations typically caused by not including a SET NL command or by specifying it with a value that did not allow for the results sets that would be produced. This memory management issue would cause an overflow and result in the analysis process to crash.
911243 Other Workflows - The connection pad that provides the details of a connection design in the Steel Connection Deign Workflow has been updated to ensure that the contents of the guidance provided in the help panel at the base of the dialog is displayed.
911320 AISC 360-16 method for accounting torsion force for case 9, i.e., concentrated Torque, one end fixed, another end free, has been updated.
