Input and Output

1. 19.2” Spacing (Change 136)

   An option of 19.2” spacing has been added to the spacing input for joists and walls.

2. Glulam Inputs in Materials Specification Output
   1. Glulam Wane

      For those unusual Southern Pine combinations which contain wane on one or both sides, this is now output to the materials specification of the Design Check results.

   2. Glulam Edge Bonding

      The program now outputs whether laminations are not edge bonded in the material specification. This is only possible if the new input for maximum lamination width is less than the member width.

3. C_V and C_L in Modification Factors Table

   Previously, when both C_V and C_L were less than one, the Modification Factors table would show the lesser of these two factors, and the other factor as 1, to indicate that the program was complying with NDS 5.3.6, which says only the lesser of these factors is to be applied. Now the program shows the calculated value for both C_V and C_L and a note under the table indicating that the lesser of these values is used.

4. Apply to Concept Mode Message

   The message that appears when you press the button Apply options to Concept Mode that appears in the Load Input view, now refers to both Beam view and Column view. Previously it referred only to Beam view even if you pressed the button in Column Loads view.

5. Design and Default Values Settings

   The addition of a Default Values settings page with version 9.3 caused the Design Settings tab to also be called Default Values. This has been corrected.
