Comparing the solicitations obtained from the Result along line command, before and after installing the update from the V22 update 1 version to the update 2 version, the results are different. With the previous version, I calculated plausible values by estimating the shear stresses in the plane. Now with the new update, using the same cutting line and updated software I get null values that are not realistic, of course. What is it due?
The Results Along Cutline feature has been revamped in the latest STAAD.Pro CONNECT edition ver 22.02.00.26 and it can now account for stress continuities across element boundaries and force equilibrium. If you are getting null values, please get a service request created and attach your model with all the details ( plate numbers, cutline details, load case# etc. ) and one of the support analysts will look into it.
The following wiki outlines the procedure to create a service request
