1. Several Earthquake Load Codes have been added instead of Generic Code used be
fore:
1. PPTGIUG-1983 Earthquake Load Generator
2. SNI-1726-2002 Earthquake Load Generator
3. UBC-1994 Earthquake Load Generator
4. UBC-1997 Earthquake Load Generator
5. IBC-2000 Earthquake Load Generator
Previous earthquake load data will be treated as PPTGIUG-1983 or SNI-1726-200
2 Code.
UBC-1997 and IBC-2000 provide option for Simplified distribution of lateral l
oad.
IBC-2000 provides option for nonlinear distribution of lateral load.
2. EQ Load Multiplier now can be different for axis X and Z
3. Truss and Frame can now have unbraced length data (Lur) for each element sepa
rately
========================================================
1. Floor Slab and Wall using Shell Element
2. Flexible Diaphragm model using shell element
3. View shell element stress contour at modeler (actual, average)
4. Distributed spring for shell element (for basement + soil model, etc.)
5. New menu layout, more short-cuts and speed buttons
