01/22
Additions
- New user interface connecting devices
- Connecting device glue added
- Nails with rectangular cross-section omitted
- Nails and cramps that overlap in the rib when arranged on both sides no longer cause an error message
- Output connecting devices adapted

- When calculating the dead weight of the ribs, the smaller weight is now used. Example: C24: 4.2 kN/m3 instead of 6.0 kN/m3. When loading old positions, the user-defined weight is set to 6.0 kN/m3 if no user-defined weight was entered
- Undo-Redo function improved
Corrections
In case of different languages for input/output, some parts of the output were not translated.
02/21
Addition
- Optional reduction of the end rib tensile forces by loading internal ribs. The maximum number of relieving internal ribs can be selected. Design/anchoring/stabilising ribs.
