LEAP Bridge Steel V8i SELECT Series I Release 01.00.01.01 Now Available on SELECT

LEAP Bridge Steel 01.00.01.01 contains several fixes and a few enhancements to the initial release of LEAP Bridge Steel 01.00.00.01 described below.

Fixes in this release:

• Fixed issues with the directional support option
• Fixed issue where support angles entered ad bearing were not handled correctly
• Fixed the Run Analysis disabled button
• Fixed standard section elevation view in Member Definition dialog
• Fixed 3D girder localization (at end support) for certain models
• Fixed Fracture Critical flag update – this flag was not being saved properly
• Fixed crash occurring when member groups had just one member
• Fixed issue with STAAD roadway definition (analytical model) when supports had bearing instead of skew defined (crash)
• Fixed issue with girder length when end support was skewed
• Fixed LLDF dialog icon
• Fixed issue with extra memory request from STAAD for multi-group models
• Fixed issue with girder elevation at the end of a long bridge (localization)
• Fixed issue with analytical model for long alignments with non-zero begin station
• Fixed issue with incorrect section properties in STAAD model for LL analysis
• Fixed live load deflection report where deflection were reported in feet rather than in inches
• Fixed “unexpected out of memory” error
• Fixed the start/end station of the deck slab in analytical model (0.2 offset between slabs)
• Fixed the overall 3D deck thickness causing the haunch to be inside deck
• Fixed issue with beam section on line girder analysis (AECOM)
• Fixed crash when deleting appurtenances
• Changed sign convention for cross frame forces (grillage model)
• Fixed issue with incomplete cross frame locations (i.e. instances when cross frame name set to “None”) (crash)
• Fixed unbraced length computation
• Fixed analytical model to no longer shift the Cross-Frame POIs
• Fixed small deck transverse member split
• Fixed “Mid Bracing” POIs computation
• Fixed units for Cross-Frame LL moment values and span length

Enhancements:

• Improved the analytical model generation process to handle more complex and larger models
• Added ability to specify which side of the bridge the wind is coming from.
• Changed 3D display to show main members following the deck profile curvature
• Added 3D median and railing display
• Added serialization of DTM data with LBS models so this data persists with the LBS model
• Added dimensions to the Member Definition profile and cross section views
• Updated help files
• Added live load distribution factor for deflections
• Added positive and negative bending live load distribution factors
• Changed the way PG offset and alignment offset input is handled to be the same as LEAP Bridge Enterprise
