New options have been added to the program:

• Possibility to define the amount of columns on the line according to roof grid (this option means that if  the number of axes on the roof is changed, the number of columns on the corresponding line is automatically adjusted)

• Possibility to define the load distributed uniformly on the roof (permanent and exploitation loads), including export to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis

• Possibility to define load combinations

• Possibility to define variants of the structure using the criteria generation (at the moment is the possibility of variant definition):

         a) the number of axes in the X and Y direction on the roof,

         b) the sections of roof beams in the X and Y direction

         c) the height of the truss

• Possibility to evaluate structure variants using the rating criteria (at the moment is the possibility of rating by):

          a) the cost of the structure

         b) the weight of the structure

         c) the value of displacement and stress for a given load combination

         d) the value of admissible displacement and stress for a given load combination

Below there is a document describing structure optimisation option in details
