General Improvements Made

V.9.1.7.0 26/01/2026

Added the option to reduce timber shear wall stiffness in the finite element model based on connection stiffness. With this option, timber shear wall stiffness is applied as a reduction coefficient in the classical finite element matrix, providing full agreement with the stiffness given in the ABTHYE code and its example solutions. The stiffness multipliers used are displayed in the Shear Wall/Wall Bottom End Section Forces table.
Timber shear wall strength calculation was performed according to TBDY2018; it can now also be performed according to the ABTHYE code.
Enabled data entry of timber shear wall connection stiffness and properties in the wall properties form.
Fixed the "" is not a floating point error that could occur during multi-wall property modification.
Fixed an Access violation error that could occur in the Draw Foundation Plan option.
When the analysis error rate was calculated, if the finite element analysis was automatically repeated due to torsion, support reactions were not reset on a case basis, resulting in an incorrect error rate warning. Fixed.
General improvements made

V.9.1.6.0 09/01/2026

Jacket eccentricity can now also be considered in frame finite element analysis.
The Vr calculation of jackets was performed based on wall length; it has been changed to be based on jacket length.
When 2 jackets are present adjacent to a wall, the shear force the wall cannot carry (Vdresidual) was being divided by 2 and distributed to the jackets. It now distributes according to their stiffnesses.
Additional measures were taken in rigid diaphragm analysis to prevent a node from creating multiple MPC (Multi-Point Constraint) connections to the master joint.
A sign correction not affecting analysis results was made during SAP2000 import.
For one case, the issue where a window on a 90-degree axis did not detect the adjacent fictitious jacket (resulting in no layered shell creation when transferring to SAP2000) was fixed.
In rigid diaphragm analysis with the option "Distribute vertical element masses equally to connected storeys", a correction was made in the mass center calculation (which could cause a small deviation).
General improvements made

V.9.1.5.0 02/01/2026

In masonry building retrofitting, the strengthened wall Vrmax calculation only considered the compressive strength of the jackets; the wall compressive strength is now also considered.
For the case where shear forces on jackets are calculated by finite elements, the performance report was using classical analysis values for the shear forces on jackets connected to walls with insufficient strength. Fixed.
In a reinforced wall, when user-defined reinforcement was selected, the program was changing the user-selected reinforcement after calculation. Fixed.
In a reinforced wall, when user-defined reinforcement was selected, the number of horizontal arms was considered as 1. Fixed so that the user's preference is respected.
General improvements made

V.9.1.4.0 17/12/2025

In shear wall reinforcement, even when longitudinal reinforcement was entered as user-defined and locked, the reinforcement was changing after calculation. Fixed.
User-defined shear wall left/right boundary vertical reinforcement and boundary horizontal reinforcement were not being saved to the file. Saving has been enabled.
In shear wall reinforcement calculation, design moments were calculated based on M2 maximum and M3 maximum values and their corresponding Nd values (per TBDY Article 7.6.6); the analysis was revised so that the most adverse case of M-N pairs is also considered (e.g. lower Mr at low Nd combinations).
When the shear wall Ve value was negative, "sufficient" was being checked because it was less than Vr and Ve max (positive values). The comparison is now made using the absolute value of Ve.
In shear wall shear calculation, when Ve>Vr, the user had to reduce the wall horizontal reinforcement spacing or increase the diameter. The program was revised to automatically make the required changes.
Added the axial force-moment interaction diagram to the Tables>Shear Wall Form.
General improvements made

V.9.1.3.0 08/12/2025

In masonry buildings, when calculating Vd and Md by the finite element method with masonry load combinations, shear forces and moments due to G and Q loads were not being considered. Changed so that they are considered.
In wall shear stress check, the vertical load combination for shear check was not being applied when changed in project general settings. Fixed.
In the finite element analysis option, masonry walls now also have shear stress checks performed under vertical loads.
The analysis was being interrupted during the strengthening of a masonry wall with a jacket using timber load combinations. Fixed.
A problem that occurred when generating reports in a project where only the roof was modeled has been fixed.
The storey number was not printed correctly in the modal analysis summary results with finite elements. Fixed.
In modal analysis with finite elements under Ex and Ey loading, when the option "consider node forces not in the loading direction in loadings" was unchecked, an error message was displayed and the analysis failed. Fixed.
In SAP2000-integrated analysis, in some cases the problem of analyzing based on internally calculated section forces instead of SAP2000 section cut results has been fixed.
In SAP2000-integrated response spectrum analysis, the modal scaling factor was calculated from the ratio of bottom storey element section forces sum and base shear force. Since this could cause problems in semi-basement structures, the ratio was changed to be calculated from support reactions in SAP2000 response spectrum analysis and the equivalent earthquake load base shear force.
A calculation report has been created for the earthquake force scaling per TBDY2018 4.8.4.1 in SAP2000-integrated response spectrum analysis.
In SAP2000-integrated response spectrum analysis, building dominant periods were calculated based on maximum mass participation ratio and the dominant direction of the mode. The calculation was revised to be based only on the maximum mass participation ratio.
General improvements made

V.9.1.0.0 21/11/2025

For the case where the period calculation in the equivalent earthquake load method is performed per TBDY2018 Equation 4.26, an arrangement was made per Article 4.7.3.2 to ensure that the building's dominant natural vibration period Tp calculated using Eq. (4.26) is not taken greater than 1.4 times the TpA period given in 4.7.3.4 when used in earthquake calculation.
The (incorrect) partial error rate warning caused by support reactions being calculated during the period calculation with fictitious loadings using the 4.26 method has been fixed.

The error rate in finite element shear force was calculated from the difference between the sum of shear forces of vertical bearing elements (shear wall/wall and column) of the lower storey and the sum of storey shear forces. This caused incorrect large error rate warnings in buildings with foundation beams or timber bracing on the lower storey. Comparing the sum of storey shear forces with support reactions prevents unnecessary/incorrect warnings.
A problem that could cause the analysis to be interrupted when wall type shell finite elements were selected has been fixed.
General improvements made

The "Modify Dimensions of Selected Elements" command was added to the macros menu, enabling the dimensions of selected beams and columns to be increased or decreased by the specified amount on all storeys. This way, insufficient timber beams and columns can be brought to a sufficient state easily through bulk dimension changes in a few iterations.
Reinforcement was being drawn in timber column/beam expansion drawings; this has been removed.
Intermediate ring beams were not shown in vertical expansions of timber columns; their display has been enabled.
In fully rigid diaphragm analysis, wind loads were taken based on building max dimensions. Now, by specifying edge axis walls (in shear wall/wall properties, the "wall is on the left/right/bottom/top edge axis of the building" option must be specified for exterior facade walls), automatic wind loads can be applied based on the wall angle.
In rigid-diaphragm-less / semi-rigid diaphragm analysis, by specifying edge axis walls based on wind direction (in shear wall/wall properties, the "wall is on the left/right/bottom/top edge axis of the building" option must be specified for exterior facade walls) and considering the wall's angle, wind load can now be applied to the structure.

Added the "Set Selected Beam Elevations Based on Connected Beam Elevations" option in the macros menu.
Hardwood mechanical properties have been added.
Added the option to apply offsets to beams. The Offset2 value, in cases like roof beams where beams are not at the same elevation, allows the elevation difference to be considered in the stiffness matrix and 3D view without changing the beam's elevation in the finite element model.
Added the option to display the grid in the modeling screen. Set to display by default.
Grid spacing settings have been added to the program settings form.
Origin display has been added in the modeling screen.
Added the "Fix node points on the storey" option in the macros menu.

Issues that could occur when editing eccentric doors/windows in the node edit command have been fixed.
Vertical ring beams can now be moved in the node edit command.
Automatic naming of inclined elements in the plan has been enabled.
When the wall axial force value is in tension (less than zero) (except for the "consider wall end moments as zero" option), lc=0 (lc: length of the wall portion remaining in compression) is now used.
When an inclined axis is moved, the wall or beam on it can now be moved optionally.
The slab left and right elevations were taken incorrectly when copying inclined slabs in multi-copy. Fixed.
For the case where jackets work eccentrically, horizontal and vertical jackets were not being divided by doors/windows. Fixed.
Added the option to analyze with irregular triangular mesh even when some storeys have no slabs.
For the case where columns with eccentricity are defined from different axes between storeys, attempts were made to fix the issue of link element not being created in some cases.
Polygon beams are now displayed in their own shapes in the 3D Ultimate screen.
Since elements drawn shorter than the FEM precision value can have their start and end nodes selected as the same, an automatic deletion feature has been introduced. Activated by default.
Columns with B or H value of 0 are now automatically deleted in analysis.
The penalty parameter selection in rigid diaphragm finite element analysis has been made optionally usable. With this, timber-beamed structures can also be solved with rigid diaphragm if desired. The penalty parameter should be set to a high value that won't trigger error messages in finite element analysis - approximately 10,000 for reinforced concrete and masonry buildings, 250 for timber-beamed structures.
Element groups were not being saved to the data file after assignment. Group assignments are now saved to the project data file and can be used in subsequent sessions.
For cases where another material is to be used instead of OSB, manual assignment of timber wall cladding materials (e.g. lath plaster / batten panel) has been enabled.
In the "Convert slab to ribbed slab" command, a selection group is now automatically created and assigned to the same group for divided and derived elements.
Selection could not be made in the modeling screen when there were elements with length close to zero. Fixed.
