Maximum shear stress in joints was not calculated properly. (179988)
AQB calculated normal stresses in the WELD elements. (179599)
The computation of the (plastic) limit forces has been revised. In the default, positive forces are always computed. Negative forces are computed only if different tension and compression strengths are detected (eg at concrete) or if a negative normal force (compression) was defined via 'SV NPLC'. Buckling (reduction of cross section area) is not automatically considered. The material safety factor γ-M0 for steel is used for the design forces (=cross sectional design). Only design forces are output (no characteristic values). These settings are changeable via the new control 'CTRL FORC' (please, see manual AQUA, chapter 3.4). The iteration of the zero point of the plastic moments was improved. Minimum reinforcement is only applied if it is switched on (CTRL RFCS). For a composite section according to EN 1994-1-1, ch. 6.7. the concrete is used with 0.85*fcd (ch. 6.7.3.2, 6.2.1.2). There are similar requirements in the codes SIA, AASHTO, DECRETO MINISTERIALE and so on. A composite section is detected if the reference material is a steel material. A concrete section is detected if the reference material is a concrete material. Then no plastic limit forces are computed, except of in case of a 'hot' design (temperatures from program HYDRA), even if steel materials exists. Shear forces and torsional moments of interpolated or no tabulated standard cross sections are recalculated.
The table of design cross section values is printing the used material safety, if there is more than one material.
The default of the air contact ratio for concrete materials is improved. The values '0.0' and '1.0' are defaults which are redefined in AQUA. Inner edges and holes are get the value "0.0", outer edges are get the value "1.0". (180023)
Thinwalled elements are not sorted anymore if there are construction stages. The assignment between element and construction stage is retained. (180171)

A program crash could occur during the intersection of reinforcement with material polygon. (181077)
Factoring of E- or G-Modulus via record SV did not worked in the first construction stage.
The export of the control options (CTRL) of standard sections did not worked.
A 'PROF' record without a preceding 'SECT' is always using tabulated shear values. 'CTRL PLAS' is not used anymore (is always "0"). Therefore the input 'PROF DTYP TAB' is not necessary anymore, and will become obsolete. For a (thick-walled) 'PROF' after a 'SECT' with section number the default setting for 'CTRL PLAS' is using tabulated shear values ('CTRL PLAS 0') for unchanged standard profiles (not interpolated, no further elements are added, etc.). If something changes, the values from the FEM calculation are applied ('CTRL PLAS 1'). An input of 'CTRL PLAS' overwrites this default.

The consideration of the (minimum) reinforcement via "CTRL RFCS" has been revised. A footnote in the output tables for the sectional values now shows whether the reinforcement has been applied. When the reinforcement is switched on, it is now used consistently, both for the longitudinal and the shear stresses. By default (new option 'NEFF +R') reinforcements are also activated in non effective areas. This can be used to calculate a cracked concrete (state II) over a column. With the new option 'NEFF -R' it can be specified that the reinforcement that lies inside a non effective area is also not effective. This can be used for the calculation with effective widths of a bridge cross section. So it is no longer necessary geometrically adjust the length of the reinforcement (LBEW) to the NEFF area.
