Release Notes
Current version 2.0.0
Improvements in the specification are not changing the functionality or compatibility of SAF. These changes only improve the understandability of SAF documentation.
- Clear specification provided for edge indexing (StructuralEdgeConnection, RelConnectsSurfaceEdge, RelConnectsRigidMember, StructuralCurveAction, StructuralCurveMoment)
- "Load type" string: condition moved from description (required only for "Load group type" = Variable)
- "Load applied to" string: attribute is not required (required string was in contradiction with description)
- Object renamed from StructuralSurfaceActionDistribution to StructuralSurfaceActionDistri. Original name exceeds the allowed number of characters for the name of an excel sheet.
- added new column: "2D member distribution" - reference to StructuralSurfaceActionDistri
- added new column: "Force action" - enum defining on which object is load applies (On 2D member, On 2D member region, On 2D member distribution)
- change of a rule: "2D member column" required only if Force action = "On 2D member"
- new column added for reference: "2D member region" - reference to StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion
- new column added for reference: "2D member opening" - reference to StructuralSurfaceMemberOpening
- new column added for reference: "2D member region" - reference to StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion
- new column added for reference: "2D member opening" - reference to StructuralSurfaceMemberOpening
- new column added for reference: "2D member region" - reference to StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion
- new column added for reference: "2D member opening" - reference to StructuralSurfaceMemberOpening
