Structural Analysis to Design Section Transfer

Design Section Load input and Structural Analysis to Design Section Transfer have several enhancements.

Structural Load Effects

In previous versions, when transferring structural load compiled effects to design section loads, the bottom table detail was not provided. The effects appeared as total values only in the top table with no differentiation between a "permanent (dead load) compilation" and a "variable (live load) compilation" at Ultimate (Strength) Limit State.

The bottom table is now generated on transfer, with full breakdown of the transfered compiled effect, indicating whether the load element is permanent or variable.

Traffic loads in traffic compilations are factored by elements such as lane factors, which in previous versions were not part of the bottom load table. This table has been enhanced to include columns for factors that contribute to the factored effect. Examples of the additional factors added include lane (track or presence), dynamic, or other. 'Other' is used to group miscellaneous factors included as part of specific loading compilations. An optional description column has also been added.
