There is a new release (version 3.07.01) available of our 2D framework program XFrame2d.
Cick here to install the new release.
On release notes you will find an overvieuw of all changes.
The most important improvements:
1. Beam-column moment connection
The test of the shear force was still missing. This check is added. The shear force is carried by the bolts in the lower rows of bolts, which are barely loaded under tension.
2. Lateral buckling stability steel
Based on the sign of the moment in the middle of the beam (group) it was determined which lateral supports should be taken into account, the lateral supports at the top flange or at the bottom flange. This has been further refined by using the test rules according to NEN-EN 1993-1-1+C2:2011/NB:2011 figure NB.6 resp. figure NB.7. (formulas NB.74 and NB.75)
