Release notes Diamonds 2021

Steel

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

Requirements

• CodeMeter 7.40 (or more recent)
• Gateway 2.02.0000 (or more recent)

General

• Bugfix for slow reaction of some dialogs.

Requirements

• CodeMeter 7.40 (or more recent)
• Gateway 2.02.0000 (or more recent)

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

• Scale function
• Merge plates

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

• CodeMeter 7.40 (or more recent)
• Gateway 2.02.0000 (or more recent)

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

• CodeMeter 7.40 (or more recent)
• Gateway 2.01.0014 (or more recent)
