Robot Millennium 21.0 - new features

USABILITY

1. New selection capabilities
Quick selection of all the elements using the same material, section or other parameters as the current element.

2. Clipping planes in XYZ directions:

3. “Vertical” objects edited on a plane – faster definition of columns and walls.

4. Database section multi-selection.

 

ANALYSIS

1. Preparing results beforehand:

• Results preparation is done in time when program doesn't require an intensive use of the processor and memory
• New Prepare results dialog box
• Creation of user’s templates for result preparation
• Managing of preperation of resuts by Inspector

2. Possibility to see map scales without opening new window:

3. Releases as percentage of bar stiffness:

• values of stiffness reduction coefficients
• values of these coefficients range between: 0.0 (a released direction) and 1.0 (no release)
• a value of the element stiffness is multiplied by a value of the coefficient at the appropriate end

 

DESIGN

1. New design codes:

• Steel design: Spanish code SEA:2006, new edition of US code AISC 325-05
• Concrete design - EC2:2004 edition
• Seismic design
  Canada (NBCC 2005)
  India (IS 1893)
  Ukraine (DBN v.1.1-12:2006)
  Russia (SP 31-114-2004 and update of SNIP II-7-81)
  France (PS92-2008)

2. New steel connections:

• Angle connection (EC3: 2005)
  beam-to-column (web)
  beam-to-beam (web)
  beam-to-column (flange)
  beam-to-beam (flange)
• Gusset plate (EC3: 2005, PN-90/B-03200)
  single bar
  internal node
  truss chord node

3. Joists:

• New database of joists (American prefabricated trusses).
• Verification and design of joists now is available for one of the following American codes: ASD, LRFD or ANSI.

4. Wire fabrics in RC walls:
New type of reinforcement (wire fabric) in wall module  - ACI 318 & BAEL 99

5. Inclined beams:

• Wide set of additional beam schemes
• There is a possibility to design reinforcement in the inclined elements, for example:
  reinforcement of stairs
  reinforcement of rafters, etc.
