The most important new features:

1. New Hybride plate element

XFrame3d has been extended with a hybrid plate element.

As you know it is already possible to calculate plates and walls in XFrame3d. In the preparation to be able to accurately determine the reinforcement as well, we have built in another triangular plate element. This is a triangular hybrid element.

Prof. Johan Blaauwendraad supported us in the realization and implementation. This new plate element offers the advantage over the earlier element that the shear force is determined more accurately.

In the next release it will be possible to also calculate the reinforcement. About the reinforcement calculation and the influence of the shear force on this we will come back in the next newsletter.

XFrame3d: colour plot of the displacements of the floor slabs and steel frame, with a maximum of 20.7 mm

2. New Visibility

With the new menu option "Visibility" a selection of beams and/or plates can easily be made visible.

How does it work? Make a selection and click on this menu option. Only the selected beams and/or plates will now be drawn. The other beams and/or plates will be drawn transparently. To undo this click on this menu option without making a selection.

XFrame3d: steel hall in which only the selected members are drawn solid and the rest is transparent
