KRASTA 9.7.3 available

Version 9.7.3 is available for all customers with an active support and maintenance contract at our customer's area at http://www.krasta.de (blue "login" box at top right).

KRASTA 9.7.3 includes compared to KRASTA 9.7.1 among others the following changes:

FS#1364
New in KRASTA 9.7.3: NODYA (Option): Option to specify abort criterion 'Max. Distortion'.

FS#1369
New in KRASTA 9.7.3: NODYA (Option): Iteration method 'Newton-Method with adaptive stepsize' available.

FS#1339
Improvement in KRASTA 9.7.3: When copying nodes & beams, the connecting beams now get the base name of the model beam (if available).

FS#1367
Improvement in KRASTA 9.7.3: NODYA (Option): Improved defaults for nonlinear calculation.

FS#1368
Improvement in KRASTA 9.7.3: NODYA (Option): Submenu item 'Time Function' moved from 'Loads' to 'NODYA'.

FS#992
Error: For 'Evaluation for end of beams' of beams with variable length, the output of the eval. location (section) is incorrect.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1317
Error: Crash when user select count of "Plot figures" is less then figures needed in front of the decimal point.
By the automatic internal scaling of the values this is limited to cases were the user choose a very small count of "Plot figures".
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1333
Error: The slenderness of conical beams is not used in a save upper approximation.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.
For conical beams now the smaller of the inertia radii associated to the end cross sections is used, separately for each principle axis. This results in a save upper approximation of the slenderness of a conical beam.

FS#1351
Error: NODYA (Option): Display / Load Summation of S88 load cases ignores parts by combination load cases.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1355
Error: "Selection|Beam Property|Cross Section (partial) Rigidity..." fails for inexistant cross sections.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1358
Error: NODYA (Option): KRASTA is unable to start nonlinear calculation.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1359
Error: NODYA (Option): Load events with S88 cause error 'unexpected load case type "8" ...'.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1363
Error: NODYA (Option): Convergence criteria labeled in the wrong order.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: Order corrected.

FS#1366
Error: NODYA (Option): Only the results of the 1st S88 load are stored in (PO) result file.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1380
Error: Unable to open systems, in which all 'Display Settings' or 'Projektions Settings' were deleted.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1385
Error: Deletion of beams or nodes leads temporarily to an incorrect subset info text.
"Rebuild internal data and redisplay system" correct the subset info text.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.

FS#1392
Error: Trapezoidal beam loads lead to incorrect results at inner section points of the loaded beam.
The section forces and deformations at beam begin and end are correct. Thereby, beams without any section points do not show incorrect results.
The section forces by concentrated loads and by uniform distributed are correct.
Revision effective with 9.7.3: KRASTA is working as intended.
