Release date: 6/12/2021

New featuresInstallation

Steel

  • Spanish national annex to EN 1993-1-1.

Requirements

Diamonds 2021r02

Release date: 12/8/2021

FixesInstallation

General

  • Bugfix for slow reaction of some dialogs.

Requirements

Diamonds 2021r01

Release date: 22/7/2021

New featuresFixesInstallation

General

  • Updated interface
  • Short key for Save As (ALT + S)
  • Use of templates to start your project
  • Select elements based on connection name (via menu Select)

Geometry

Results

  • Mean reaction over multiple supported lines. When you selected multiple lines and click right mouse button, Diamonds shows the mean reaction over the selected lines.

Fire

  • French national annex to EN 1993-1-2
  • Fire design for AISC & NSR-10

General

  • Not possible to select or change view after running fire analysis
  • Not possible to select or change view after running projection function

Results

  • Isolines shows percent-values instead of the real values

Model analysis

  • The modal mass according to CTE = phi x mass. Modal mass according to EC = psi2 x phi x mass

Concrete

  • Reinforcements results are broken after a cracked calculation in time

Fire

  • Color of steel cross-section does not match scale after running fire analysis (detailed results)

Report manager

  • Improvements in memory use of report manager (results steel verification)

Requirements

Diamonds 2021

Release date: 01/02/2021

New featuresFixesInstallation

General

  • Use right click on global coordinate system (right bottom of the screen) to center the model on the screen from a standard viewpoint. (comes in handy when the model is upside down)
  • Omit units when showing data on the screen & in variable grid

Geometry

  • Show eccentricities in datatable so they can be printed

Loads

  • Easy adjustment of surface loads in datatable

Results

  • Ask results on bar ends in datatable
  • Show total and mean reaction in a plate surface

Fire

  • Show section factor in Data table after thermal analysis (also when cross-section has no protection)
  • Intumescent paint Nullifire SC901/902 added to material library

General

  • Wrong unit conversion from kN/m³ to T/m³ for density in material library
  • Buttons for hinges at beginning/end of bar are switched
  • When a model contains points that are to close to one another > the risk that the vertical reactions are zero in some points
  • Not possible to import Diamonds model containing sub load cases

Geometry

  • Mistake in painting surface of variable cross-section

Loads

  • Wrong zones on wind map for national annex LT
  • American combinations not importing

Results

  • No enveloppe results when seismic load is disabled
  • Error in formula for calculting plate stress

Steel

  • Not possible to calculate buckling length for Brausa cross-sections
  • Steelcheck not possible if only ULS SC are present

Fire

  • Improvements to intumescent paint optimisation

Report manager

  • Error when printing Connection verification in report

Requirements
