New feature to "Import CAESAR II Neutral files" (.cii) is added. This can be performed through File->Import from Main window.

New feature to "Import PipePak Neutral files" is added. This can be performed through File->Import from Main window.

Contact support AT sstusa.com for import details for both CAESAR II and PipePak neutral files.

Improved algorithm for refreshing the layout screen when an element is selected through the graphics window to avoid garbling of layout screen.

New feature added to check whether local x and y axes are perpendicular to each other for Elastic element.

Bug Correction: The direction vector entered as non-unit vector for local x and y axes were not normalized before printing global element forces for Elastic element.

NOTE For B31.3(2008) users: As per para 302.3.4, fm = maximum value of stress range factor; 1.2 for ferrous materials with specified minimum tensile strengths <= 517 MPa and at Metal temperatures <= 371 deg C(700 deg F). This criteria is not implemented in CAEPIPE as the provision for entering the minimum tensile strength in material property is not available at this time. Hence f <= 1.0 for all materials including Ferrous materials.
