  • A completely new documentation set accompanies this release. This documentation consists of: a User Guide, an Applications Guide, and a Technical Reference Guide.

  • The static in-core and out-of-core solvers have been converted to run in 32 bit protect mode utilizing extended memory. Solution times for large jobs have been cut by an order of magnitude.

  • The Static Output processor has been converted to run in 32 bit protect mode utilizing extended memory.

  • Both the Static and Dynamic Output processors now have the capability to generate ASCII disk files on any drive or directory (using the COADE file manager) on the computer. Additionally, a table of contents summarizing the output is generated for printer and disk devices.

  • The Dynamic Output processor now includes titles and page numbers (similar to statics), and provides input echo (both system and dynamic) abilities.

  • Modal time history analysis has been added. This includes output report review and animated response review.

  • Standard spectrum analysis now includes modal components for displacements. Additionally displacement information is now available for static-dynamic combinations.

  • The Included Mass Report has been clarified and modified to include the active mass in each of the global directions. The percent of the force included/added is now based on a vector sum rather than an absolute sum.

  • The ZPA used in the missing force correction can now be controlled via the configuration file. You can specify that the ZPA be based on the last extracted mode or the last spectrum value.

  • The static load case array space has been increased by a factor of 5, allowing more flexibility in static load case setup.

  • API 650 nozzle flexibilities, according to the ninth edition, July 1993.

  • Checks for allowable loads on Fired Heater Tubes according to API-560 have been added.

  • As an option, you can consider the effects of pressure stiffening on straight pipes.

  • Three additional spring hanger tables: Sinopec (China), BHEL (India), and Flexider (Italy).

  • The Australian structural steel shape database has been added.

  • The ASME material database has been updated to reflect the 1992 Code addendum.

  • The printer testing routines have been completely rewritten. Additionally, output can be directed to any LPT port.

  • The ability to configure the printer, either dot matrix or laser jet. This is implemented through a text file containing the printer formatting codes which you can modify.

  • Password protection for input data files, to prevent modification of completed projects.

  • All of the screens in the piping preprocessor (except for the main spreadsheet) are now supported in Spanish and French.

  • Input/Output file time/date sequencing checks have been added to the dynamics modules.

  • The Break command in the piping input processor has been modified to accept input in feet-inch units instead of only feet. This should allow compound entries in any units system.
