General Improvements Made

V.9.1.7.0 26/01/2026

Option to reduce timber shear wall stiffness based on connection stiffness in the finite element model has been added.

In shear wall reinforcement calculation, design moments were being calculated based on M2 maximum and M3 maximum values and compatible Nd values (according to TBDY Article 7.6.6); the analysis has been adjusted to also consider the most unfavorable case of M-N pairs (such as Mr also being low in low Nd combinations).
When the shear wall Ve value was negative, since it was less than Vr and Ve max (positive values), it was being marked as adequate. The comparison is now performed using the absolute value of Ve.
In shear wall shear calculation, when Ve>Vr, the user had to reduce the shear wall horizontal reinforcement spacing or increase the diameter. Revised so that the program automatically makes the necessary adjustments.
Axial force-moment interaction diagram has been added in Tables>Shear Wall Form.

This caused incorrectly large error rate warnings in buildings with grade beams or timber bracing in the lower storey. By comparing the sum of storey shear forces with support reactions, unnecessary/incorrect warnings have been prevented.
An issue that could cause analysis to be interrupted when wall-type shell finite elements were selected has been resolved.

For example, 10,000 for reinforced concrete and masonry buildings, 250 for timber-beam structures.
Element groups were not being saved to the data file after being assigned. Group assignments are now saved to the project data file and can be used in subsequent sessions.

In the "convert slab to ribbed slab" command, a selection group is now automatically created for divided and derived elements and assigned to the same group.
