Dynamic Response - Added energy plots for ship impact and dropped object analyse s Dynamic Response - Changed weight input from short tons to kips in dropped objec t analysis with English units. Dynamic Response - Added ability to pass basic load cases when equivalent static loads are created for use in subsequent load combinations or collapse load sequ ence. Dynamic Response - Increased the number of significant digits for applied and in ertia equivalent static loads to improve accuracy for dynamic loads with small m agnitudes or applied to large surfaces. Dynamic Response - Added the ability to plot load summation for various time inc rements to show accuracy lost by increasing output load time increment. Executive 5.3 - Standardized the presentation of analysis options so that the sa me Analysis Options screens are used throughout the Analysis Generator. Executive 5.3 - Added ability to Create Damage Center Report when right clicking o n Fatigue input file. Executive 5.3 - Double click a file with no File ID now opens the file in the ed itor. Executive 5.3 - The rows in the table reading "SAT Files" and "Encapsulated Post script Files" formatted the same as "Export Settings. Executive 5.3 - Updated options area so that GAP option s in the Executive are n ot available if Gap input file is used. Executive 5.3 - Updated default file names for dynamic response analyses to use program abbreviation for Dynamic Response instead of Earthquake. Executive 5.3 - Added the ability to run Combine on multiple solution files. Executive 5.3 - Updated input file default setting so that use of input file rat her than specifying options in the Executive is default. Executive 5.3 - Program now identifies copies of SACS files. Executive 5.3 - Updated so that program remembers the location of the Analysis P rogress dialog. Executive 5.3 - Analysis Summary dialog enhanced to be pinned to the Analysis Ge nerator to which it applies. Executive 5.3 - Updated drop down menus to match Legacy Executive more closely. Executive 5.3 - Updated error messages to give better explanation of the problem . Executive 5.3 - Program now recognizes files named using customized program/file type labels as well as the default labels. Executive 5.3 - Analysis generator left column double click functionality now ma tches the default drop down menu item like legacy Executive. Executive 5.3 - Updated to check if Analysis Progress dialog is off of the scree n display area and moves it so that it can be seen. Executive 5.3 - Updated Analysis Generator to show file path when selecting the row with the file name shown. Executive 5.3 - Enhanced the File Explorer area to update when file name, size, date, etc. changes are made. Executive 5.3 - Updated program to check for the existence of SACS interactive m odules before attempting to launch and provide appropriate error message if prog ram is not found. Executive 5.3 - Changed File ID filter to exclude .run and .runx to avoid confus ion by creating non run files with these extensions. Fatigue - Updated inline SCF override to apply to cones. Fatigue - Added SCF overriding feature for BOX members, using new CONSBX line to override SCF at each stress component. Fatigue - Changed default validity check option when parameters are outside rang e of validity for Efthymiou SCF to use the maximum SCF determined from actual pa rameters and the limiting parameters. The default was to use the actual paramet ers to determine SCF without considering limiting parameters. Fatigue - Implemented all the S-N curves based on ISO 19902 Section 16.11.1.

Flotation/Upending - Updated tank buoyancy calculation for improved accuracy. Flotation/Upending - Enhanced to include simulated launch from quay where struct ure supports include land, tanks, etc. Joint Can - Total can length calculation for API 21st Supplement 3, ISO 19902 an d Norsok codes was expanded. Joint Can - ISO 19902 code check of connections of Tubular and Conical members w as implemented. Joint Can - The default API option changed to API 21st Edition with Supplement 1 , Supplement 2 and Supplement 3. Pile/Pile3D - Added T factor and Z factor on TZAPI header so that soil capacitie s can be factored easily. Post - ISO 19902 code check of Tubular and Conical members was implemented. Post - Modification was made on the span summary report of MAX span deflection w hen using CSF after running "Collapse". Postvue - Joint Can settings: code check ID was set automatically identical to t hat in JCNOPT line. Postvue - A "Brace Override" box is added, and the Min Can extension length opti on is modified. Postvue - Added Forces and Moments in "Report" of Member Review. Postvue - Included critical stress cases of type a, b, or c for DANISH code, DS4 12, in "Member Review". Precede - Multi-segmented tapered members may now be defined. Precede - Load condition, weight group, and all identification names may now con tain any printable special character. Precede - Multiple views may now be printed with one command. Precede - Model may be printed in black and white in addition to grey scale. Precede - Moment arrows are now displayed on members. PSI (Pile/Structure Interaction) - Added T factor and Z factor on TZAPI header s o that soil capacities can be factored easily. RING - Adjusted layout of load combinations. SACS/ANSYS - Corrected some issues in converting ANSYS REAL constants SACS/ANSYS - Included ANSYS element type BEAM24 and BEAM44 (some offsets may be ignored). Wave Response - Updated plots for random wave, spectral wind, and user input loa d time history. Wave Response - Corrected print of Applied Time History Load Summary. Wave Response - Included windmill functionality. Wave Response - Updated to read response data from FAST program to include coupl ing between input force time history, wind, and wave loading.
