IS 801 Deflection Checks
Design of cold formed steel to the 1$801, cold formed steel code following the logic of providing deflection
checks to the strength checks as provided by similar stress-based codes,
Improved GB50017
The design solution provided with the Chinese stee! design workflow includes an option to classify and
design a set of members as truss objects. However, the design has been updated to catch and warm
‘engineers who might inadvertently attempt to design members that have significant end moments and
thus this classic=faction and design method is not appropriate.
Enhancement of OpenSTAAD for Foundation
‘OpenSTAAD continues to grow in popularity and being included into engineering team processes to better
optimise designs and automate repetitive processes. To assist engineers who define models using the

Minor Enhancements
iTwin Services component
Using STAAD.Pro as a key component of an integrated design is becoming a more common workflow so
continuing to build on this is an important part of each STAAD.Pro release. In this release, the key module
that underlies the digital twin creation offered by Bentley, iTwin Services has been updated to v2.2. This
includes a more consistent settings layout. Suggestions in the iModel field as a name is entered. An
improved testing of data to provide feedback on the validity of the data before attempting to create an
invalid model. The most significant update though is that if story data is defined in a physical model, that is,
passed to the ISM repository which means that the model can be used with RAM Concept for the design
of floors.

Beam/Plate Connectivity Check Performance
Improvement
When large models are created through various interop services, it may make sense to validate that the
analytical objects have suitable connectivity to the rest of the model. This led to the provision of a number
of small tools in the Utiliies>Geometry Tools> Model Tools. However, for large models of tens of
thousands of plates and beams, the time taken to test each plate and beam could take a significant
amount of time. By refactoring the underlying functions, a significant performance boost has been
achieved which can dramatically reduce the time taken to perform these tests.
Update Steel Connection Design
Models designed with steel members, their profiles checked in STAAD.Pro, the validation of providing a
suitable connection to the rest of the model also needs to be performed. RAM Connection does an
excellent job of providing this as a standalone solution, However, this capability can be utilised STAD. Pro
by using the Steel Connection Design Workflow. In this release, the RAM Connection module that is
contained in STAAD.Pro has been upgraded to version v13.8 which adds additional capabilities including:-
‘Support for all brace/branch shapes for EN1993 connections for bracing and truss connections.
+ Anew directly bolted coped web brace to gusset plate
New directly welded gusset connections
Extended range of conditions for vertical brace connections.

Refactored Cloud analysis (Technical Preview)
There is a growing movement to make better use of web-based servers that offer options to offioad
analysis tasks and allow the desktop to be used for other work. This service has been provided by Bentley
using a Scenario Services facility. Engineers who chose to make use of the CONNECT Project,
association, could use this service with a web interface to upload models, initiate analyses and then
compare results. With STAAD.Pro, , engineers were offered an opportunity to associate models directly in
the interface with the tools to upload their model and run the analysis directly.
This service however is being deprecated, but the ability to perform the cloud analysis has not. In fact it
has been simplified, Models no longer have to be associated with CONNECT Projects.
‘Any model can be used to perform an analysis and using any one of a range of previously released
analysis engines. That means it is possible to use this to take any current model and confirm the
behaviour that would have been reported in an earlier release.
At this time however the service is being offered as Technical Preview only and Bentley does reserve the
right to terminate the offering at any time.
