STAAD.Offshore v8i (3.0.2.0)

The recent release of STAAD.Pro version V8i SS5 introduced a few changes into the OpenSTAAD OEM package which has affected STAAD.Offshore integration.  Therefore a new build of STAAD.Offshore has been published which has addressed this issue and also another key issue which has been identified in that the use of hollow sections defined in STAAD.Pro databases based on the US HSS template, such as the European CHS, SHS and RHS sections, were not supported by STAAD.Offshore.  This has been addressed and these sections can now be used freely in the program.

There have also been a number of minor updates in the transportation module resulting in a incrimination of the Transportation Module version.  The details of which are listed below and can be found in the Revision History included in the Readme file included in the installation.
