The most important new features:

1. New .NET 10 is provided

What is that? I hear you thinking.

.NET 10 is the latest software platform that allows you to build and run applications on Windows.

There are very important technical and strategic reasons to switch from the old .NET Framework (4.x) to the modern .NET 10. Why?

The old .NET Framework is "end of life" and is no longer maintained by Microsoft.

.NET 10 is not only faster, more stable, and much more efficient, but also has better security and support for modern hardware and CPUs.

This means that Struct4u is up to date and ready for the future. XConstruct will be the first program to use .NET 10, but the next releases of our other programs will also use it.

2. New Shear Connection

With this module you can design your shear connection fast and simple.

Three types of connections are provided:

  1. Connection with a fin plate,
  2. Connection with a end plate, and
  3. Connection with clip angle steel.

Shear connection with a fin plate: side view of the beam with three bolts and cross-section

Shear connection with an end plate: side view of the beam and cross-section with six bolts

Shear connection with angle steel: side view of the beam and cross-section with the bolts in the angles

Shear connection with a fin plate between a notched beam and a supporting beam

3. New 2 types of moment resistance connection in which the beam rest on the column

Customers have often asked this.

Moment connection with a horizontal beam resting on the column: cross-section, side view and plan of the bolts

Moment connection with a sloping beam resting on the column: cross-section, side view and plan of the bolts
