The number of points for each span that are used to determine the maximum deflection within that span and that are used to plot the deflection diagram has been increased from 5 to 25. This creates a smoother graph than before.
The program shows every fifth point, and also the maximum if it occurs at another point than the 5th points.
Occasionally this can result in slightly increased accuracy in determining the point of maximum deflection. Previously, deflection not occurring at the mid-span of the member could be neglected in favour of the mid-span deflection (the one at the 3rd of 5 evaluation points)
