Loads Analysis
  1. Unfactored Reactions for Pattern Load Combination (Bug 2298)

    For a load type that is patterned (i.e. L or S), the program showed in the Reactions and Bearing table the unfactored reaction for that type from the critical factored load combination if it is a pattern combination, rather than the largest unfactored reaction for that type from any pattern load combination. As the main purpose of this table is to manually use these reactions to load a supporting member, the supporting member would not necessarily have been loaded with the heaviest load possible for that load type.
    The program now uses the load unfactored reaction from the load combination with the heaviest reaction for that load type.

  2. Analysis of Point Loads at End of Cantilever (Bug 2433)

    If the point load is located at the end of a cantilever, due to small rounding errors, it is sometimes not being included in the loads analysis. This problem has always been in the software but is rarely encountered.
