There are new releases available of
- XFrame2D 2025.1 download release notes
- XBeam2D 2025.1 download release notes
The most important new features:
1. New User defined materials
It is now possible to enter own materials (steel, concrete, rebar and timber). How? Very simple. Copy one of the standard materials. Give it its own name and adjust its properties. It is not possible to modify the default Eurocode materials but you can define and add your own material. Then you can use this material in other programs as well. The materials are saved in an XML file so you can put that on the network and share the materials database with your colleagues
How does it work? Watch this demo.
2. New Output report
In the transparent calculation output of steel and timber, the decisive check is shown in blue for uc < 1.00 (or red for uc > 1.00). This allows you to quickly see which check is decisive so that you can more easily optimize your structural design.
3. New Construction parametrically using Microsoft Excel
It is possible to create a construction parametrically using Microsoft Excel. You can define your own parameters in Excel. From Excel an XML is generated that is also directly loaded into XFrame2D. So you see the result immediately and you can start calculating that construction right away.
4. New Error report
Of course, a software error should never occur. Let there be no misunderstanding about that. If an unexpected software error does occur, an error report is now automatically generated. And you can send this report very easily (with one click on the send button) including your input and preferably your explanation to us so that our Struct4U support team can investigate it. That way you help us make the software even better.
