CSC Update Service 6.0 Security Patch

This patches the Macrovision FLEXNet Connect service that is used by the CSC Update Service. It fixes a "Safe for Scripting" issue which potentially causes vulnerabilities in the FLEXnet Connect client, including a possible buffer overflow.

CSC Update Service 6.1 Security Patch

This update patches the Macrovision FLEXNet Connect service that is used by the CSC Update Service. It fixes a "Safe for Scripting" issue which potentially causes vulnerabilities in the FLEXnet Connect client, including a possible buffer overflow.

CSC Update Service 11.0

New version of the CSC Update Service that fixes the following issues:

Fix: If the Update Service displays a notification window for a software update the Read more... link opened the release notes in a window that could not be resized.

Fix: If the Update Service displays a notification window then Internet Explorer may have prompted the user with the following message "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?".

CSC Common Update

This patch updates CSC Common to ensure that TEDDS uses version 11.0 of the CSC Update Service.

Software Update July 2008

General

Calculation User Interfaces

Fix: Wait cursor was not always displayed when TEDDS was calculating the expressions embedded within a user interface.

Fix: User could interact with user interface before TEDDS had finished calculating the expressions embedded within a user interface. This caused numerous different errors to be reported depending on the calculation.

Options

Fix: Calc Document directory could not be set to the root of a drive.

TEDDS

Send To Word

Fix: When sending a document to Word 2007 the following error message may have been displayed "Word was unable to read this document. It may be corrupt...".

Send To TEDDS for Word

Fix: When sending a document to TEDDS for Word the following error message may have been displayed "The TEDDS for Word variable file (.vbl) for this document does not exist. Use the 'Calculate All' command to re-calculate the entire document.".

TEDDS for Word

Saving

Fix: When saving a document Word's Save document as type: setting was ignored, the save type would always default to the Word Document (.docx) format.

Variable Manager

Fix: When writing out a variable CAPI error 2 may have been reported.

Excel Link

Enhancement: Added support for Read and Write password protected workbooks.

Enhancement: When opening a Workbook do not add it to Excel's Most Recently Used (MRU) file list.

Enhancement: When opening a password protected Workbook ensure that a hidden instance of Excel is used so that user cannot see or interact with Workbook.

Beam Analysis

Diagrams

Fix: Loading envelope diagrams always showed the text "Self weight not included".

Fix: Loading diagram as displayed in user interface did not show span identifiers, support identifiers or dimensions.

Enhancement: Span units are now displayed to the left of the span dimension axis.

BAMomReaction

Fix: The BAMomReaction function invalidated the analysis results causing subsequent beam analysis functions to fail.

BACombinationResultsValid/BACombinationValid

Fix: The BACombinationResultsValid and BACombinationValid functions reported an error when using a load type name for unfactored combinations.

CSC Common Update June 2008

This update includes a new CSC DataTable NDS2005 Table 5A.tbl that is required by the TEDDS calculation Structural Wood Beam Analysis & Design (NDS2005). This new calculation was first published in the TEDDS North American Engineering Library June 2008 Update.

Engineering Library Update July 2008

Steel Beam Design (AISC 3605-05) v1.0.02 - Bulletin 4

There is a potentially unconservative error affecting beams with applied compression with sections being incorrectly classified using the width-thickness limits for flexure to assess the classification of beam elements subject to compression instead of the width-thickness limits for compression. Slender sections may be incorrectly classified as non-compact or compact, and non-compact sections may be incorrectly classified as compact. For more detailed information please refer to Steel Beam Design (AISC 360-05) - Bulletin 4 in the Bulletins group of the Engineering Library Index.

Steel Column Design (AISC 3605-05) v1.0.01 - Bulletin 5

There is a potentially unconservative error with sections being incorrectly classified, slender sections may be incorrectly classified as non-compact or compact, and non-compact sections may be incorrectly classified as compact. For more detailed information please refer to Steel Column Design (AISC 360-05) - Bulletin 5 in the Bulletins group of the Engineering Library Index.

Minor Updates

Composite Beam Design (AISC-05) v1.0.01

Updated to correct calculation of position of maximum moment for primary beams supporting two secondary beams.

Structural Wood Beam Analysis & Design (NDS 2005) v1.1.02

Updated to fix undefined variable error in flitch beam bolting calculation.

Wind load (ASCE 7-05) v1.0.01

Updated to correct calculation of variable GCp_pos_3 when roof slope is greater than zero and less than or equal to ten.

Engineering Library Update June 2008

Structural Wood Beam Analysis & Design (NDS 2005)v1.1.01

New calculation to check the design of structural wood, structural glued laminated timber (glulam) and flitch beams according to the provisions for Allowable Stress Design (ASD).The calculation is fully integrated with the TEDDS continuous beam analysis module allowing analysis of 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.

Please note: the Timber Design (NDS 2005) and Flitch Beam Design (NDS 2005) calculations which were available in previous versions of the Engineering Library Index have been removed because they are superseded by this new calculation. The Timber Design (NDS 2005) remains in the Columns group because the new calculation does not design columns.
