Software Update January 2010

CSC Update Service 12.01

Improved security protection for the update service including an update to replace all previous versions of the FLEXnet Connect agent.

Software Update January 2010

General

Setup Wizard

Fix: When migrating settings from a previous version of TEDDS the default Calc Set directory $(UserSetDir) was not migrated.

TEDDS for Word

Variables

Fix: Promoted section variables would lose their promoted attribute when the value was modified in a calculation.

Toolbars

Fix: Aus Star button was missing from format toolbar in Word 2000/2002/2003.

Word 2007

Fix: When TEDDS for Word 2007 was run for the first time the images on the TEDDS ribbon were not displayed.

Fix: If a previous version of TEDDS had been used with Word 2007 the Calculate Selection button on the TEDDS ribbon would not work.

Enhancement: Significantly improved the performance of the TEDDS ribbon.

Functions

Fix: floor function returned incorrect result for negative values when the value was exactly divisible by the floor value.

Enhancement: New SelectFile function which allows a file name to be selected for subsequent use in an open or save file operation.

Enhancement: New SetVarAttributes function which allows the attributes of an existing variable to be modified.

Enhancement: Updated SaveSectionVarsTextFile and SaveSectionVarsCalcItem to allow variables to be appended to the existing output.

Enhancement: Updated functions that accept file paths to support the placeholder $(UserDocDir) which is the default document open/save location.

Software Update October 2009

TEDDS

Fix: The output for some calculations did not display symbols (multiplication, square root etc.) correctly.

Fix: Engineering Library index defaulted to SI units instead of US units (North America).

Fix: On some systems TEDDS crashed when closing if it had originally been opened by double clicking on a TEDDS document.

TEDDS for Word

Fix: If the North American Engineering Library was installed in addition to another regional Engineering Library then showing the index or switching between locales in the Library Access System will cause the Library Access System to crash.

Beam Analysis

Fix: Under certain circumstances the output span results listed erroneous results in the intermediate results table for max/min moment, shear and deflection. Intermediate results written to document variables may also have been incorrect. Summary results were always correct.

Steel Simple Beam Analysis & Design (BS5950)

Fix: Changes to loading were not saved to document variables, consequently calculation was unusable.

Engineering Library Update March 2010

Storm Water Drainage

New calculation for designing a storm water drainage system comprising multiple pipes of varying diameters and flows and a variety of structures, including entries, inlets and manholes. The Energy Grade Line (EGL) and the Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) are calculated for the pipeline and the calculation determines if the design conforms to freeboard requirements.

Other Updates

Includes minor enhancements and adjustments.

Engineering Library Update January 2010

Our New Timber Beam Analysis & Design (AS1720.1-1997) Calculation

For the analysis and design of timber, glulam and structural laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams in accordance with Australian Standard AS1720 - Timber Structures Part 1: Design methods. The calculation allows you to analyse beams of up to 10 spans with up to 20 loads per span, 20 loads per support, 8 different load cases and 20 load combinations. The beam section is checked against applied bending, shear and bearing stresses, further calculations check the beam deflection and axial compression or tension if appropriate.

Our New Timber Member Design (AS1720.10-1997) Calculation

For the design of timber, glulam and structural laminated veneer lumber (LVL) members in accordance with Australian Standard AS1720 - Timber Structures Part 1: Design methods. The calculation allows you to design a single section based on defined values for reaction, bending moment in both major and minor axis, shear force and compression or tension.

Minor Updates

Includes minor enhancements and adjustments.

Engineering Library Update December 2009

Cut and Fill

New calculation which calculates the cut and fill areas for any number of existing and proposed cross sections and then caculates the resulting volume of soil.

The coordinates for the existing and proposed cross sections can be entered manually or they can be imported from a text file. The proposed cross sections can also be generated automatically by using one of several pre-defined templates. Once you have defined all of your cross sections a quantity distribution table is calculated to determine the total cut or fill volume.

Minor Updates

Includes minor enhancements and adjustments.

Engineering Library Update November 2009

Steel Beam Analysis & Design (AS4100),
Steel Beam Design Only (AS4100)

Enhanced calculations which now include the option to design multiple beams. The beam can be designed with up to 5 sections of the same type sharing an equal proportion of the load.

Minor Updates

Includes minor enhancements and adjustments.
