The version 3.0.0 has the following improvements:

• any geometry can be given including holes of any shape or curved borders

• edge clamps at any border position (at corners, edges or curved borders)

• bonded disk fixing without generation of holes

• several clamping designs (circular or angular, glass shoes,...)

• downholder for suction safety

• structural glazing

• automatic calculation of predefined load cases

• elastically supported glass edges

• enhanced equation solver (up to 6-times faster)

• and much more ...
  

• picture of the finite element mesh within the protocol

• modified installation routine

• some changes for path settings

• changes when deleting load cases

• some modifications within the post-processor like scaling signs

• aborting the calculation now stops immediately the solving process

• some new settings for printing the protocol

• enhanced bandwidth optimization for faster solving

• included SentryGlasPlus (SGP) interlayer properties (more information you can find under <downloads>)

• memory problem for very large systems solved

• more stable solution for non-linear calculations (instead of the fastest solution)

• stopping the mesh generation process is possible now

For the next update is intended:

• additional local remeshing tools, not only at the fittings

• colored pictures of the stresses within the protocol

• contact conditions for bonded edges

• self defined impact body

• dxf import of data

• line loads along curved borders

• temperature influence

• self defined climate loads

• new models for fittings (loop corner fitting, ...)

• definition of linear increasing snow loads within "Loadcase"

• changes within the graphics (inplane deformations)

• comment text for each load case

• faster solution process

• ...
