SCIA Engineer and CADS RC Designers

Following the release of SCIA Engineer 2008.1, the following RC Designers are required in order to maintain compatibility with the SCIA Engineer product:-

• CADS RC Beam Designer, V3.34 (Build 515)
• CADS RC Column Designer, V1.71 (Build 230)
• CADS RC Base Designer, V2.07 (Build 274)
• CADS RC Pile Cap Designer, V1.69 (Build 121)

The following support installation is also required:-

Application Support,  V1.58 (Build 221)

Additional features:-

A new feature is introduced by which it is now possible to export all or selected multiple RC design objects in a structural model from SCIA Engineer (formerly ESA PT) to the RC Designers, in a single export. The selected objects will be designed one by one transparently and saved along with a design summary report in (.rtf), format, in the selected folder. The design summary report can be viewed in Microsoft Word. The saved individual jobs can then be opened in the RC Designer or imported into CADSRC through Beam Link.

This new feature should provide a major efficiency improvement (as previously each design object in a structural model needed to be exported individually).

Prerequisites:-

1. SCIA Engineer should already have been installed.
2. Ensure that neither SCIA Engineer nor any RC Designers are running when installing the updated applications.
3. In order that all supporting files and components are included, the RC Designers must initially have been installed from the latest CADS CD (2008-1).

Download instructions:-

Please follow the following steps in order to download the RC Designers and install them.

1. Select the download icon of each RC Designer in order to download the compressed (.zip) file.
2. Save each RC Designer in a suitable download folder (the desktop or a folder on the desktop) is a convenient location.
3. Extract the installation file (.exe) from the compressed (.zip) file by double-clicking the (.zip) file - place the installation file (.exe) in the same folder as the (.zip) file.
4. Start the installation by double-clicking the installation (.exe) file, and follow the installation instructions.

Note: the update to the RC Designers is only required if you are using SCIA Engineer and CADS RC Designers - the updates are not required if you are using ESA PT (or EPW).

RCBD-SE2008-1-Setup

Version 3.34 (Build 515)

Enhancements:
1)      A new feature is introduced by which it is now possible to export all or selected multiple beams in a structural model from SCIA Engineer (formerly ESA PT) to RC Beam Designer, in a single export. The selected beams will be designed one by one silently and saved along with a design summary report in .rtf format, in selected folder. The design summary report can be viewed in Microsoft Word by click of a button. The saved individual jobs can then be opened in RC Beam Designer or imported in CADSRC through Beam Link.

This new feature would save a lot of time as earlier each beam in a structural model needed to be exported individually.

Corrections made:
1)      An incomplete error report was displayed in Rebar Editor dialog when the main reinforcement violated the lateral spacing rules given in the detailing code. This has been corrected.

2)      Occasionally the links in Rebar Editor dialog were drawn with sharp corners and the main bars were not contained within the link. This has been corrected.

3)      Bar type was not displayed for link bars in the 'Reinforced Details/Graph' page of print/preview. This has been fixed.

1)      When the option "Parameters -> Design Parameters -> Design Reinforcement for Deflection" was selected in a customer job the program hung. This has now been corrected and the program now throws a message that "No solution possible at zone (Number)".

2)      In the 'Page Setup' dialog if the 'Job reference' and 'Date' fields were not entered by user then it was filled automatically by the program. This has now been left blank and will not be filled automatically. If user edits the job reference and date it will be saved and retained with the job.
