Corrections made:

7. The word obsolete is added to some of the old template groups to differentiate the current set from the old ones.



8. Concrete: Industrial ground floors to TR34 fourth edition has been updated removing the reference to restraint stresses and characteristic flexural strength in the negative moment capacity calculation.

9. Foundations: Retaining wall – Rankine and Coulomb’s theories and Key with differing soils – The templates had an incorrect sign for overturning moment from passive pressure which has been corrected.

10. Foundations – EN1997 and EN1992 checks: Pad base bearing and stability subject to uniaxial or biaxial bending to EC7 – Favourable and unfavourable partial safety factors were incorrectly used for certain loading cases. This has now been corrected.

11. Wind loading to EC1: The limitation on the angle of pitch roof has been removed and an issue with the peak velocity pressure calculation has been corrected.

14. Steelwork – EC3 – Checks: I stability check – compression and bending according to EC3 – The effective area and effective plastic section modulus were incorrectly calculated for class 3 web. This has now been corrected.

15. Timber members – EN 1995-1:2004 Check and Design: Floor joist – In the vibration check, the limiting value of deflection limit used to calculate the unit impulse velocity response limit was wrong. This has now been corrected.

Enhancements:

1. CADS SMART Engineer is now compatible with Microsoft Windows 10.

2. The following improvements have been made:

Steel Template Merge

A group of the most commonly used steelwork templates for BS5950:2000 have now been merged together. This greatly simplifies the process of switching between section types when using a template, as you no longer need to re-enter information into separate specialised templates.

The following templates have now been merged under the ‘BS5950:2000 Checks’ group:



Original template titles New template titles

UB bending check – simply supported beams UB / UC bending check - simply supported beams

UC bending check – simply supported beams

UB Column check – in simple construction UB / UC column check – in simple construction

UC Column check – in simple construction

UB direct compression check UB / UC direct compression check

UC direct compression check

UB direct tension check UB / UC direct tension check

UC direct tension check

UB section subject to axial load and moments UB / UC section subject to axial force and moments

UB section subject to axial load and moments

UB symmetric cellular beam – simply supported compact section

UB / UC symmetric cellular beam – simply supported compact section

UC symmetric cellular beam – simply supported compact section

Note: The original templates are now stored under the group ‘Obsolete templates’. Components of these templates, which were created in a previous version of SMART Engineer, can only be opened in the original templates.

Corrections made:

1. Wind Loading to EC1 – A limitation prevented users of the template from entering a pitch greater than 22.5 degrees on Duopitch, Hipped and Monopitch roofs. This has now been corrected.

2. Issues with unreadable text on certain DPI settings have been fixed.


Enhancements:


Concrete Industrial Ground Floor Design to TR34 – Fourth Edition

The calculations in this template are based on the Concrete Society Technical Report No.34 – fourth edition. This template can be used to check the design of reinforced concrete industrial floor slabs subjected to loads. This is achieved by assessing the ultimate bending capacity of the slab as well as the punching shear at the face and the critical perimeters of the loaded areas. Single, double and quadruple points loads can be applied to the slab, in addition to line loads and UDLs.



Corrections made:

1. Concrete – Solid wall or slab design templates to BS8007:1987 and BS8110:1997 – A warning message prevented the use of these templates to run the design of slabs or walls with a width of less than three times the depth. This limitation has now been removed.

2. Project cluster – A saving issue resulted in custom project cluster locations being reset to the default location any time the software was closed down or updated. This has now been corrected.

Version 6.41 (Build 199): May 2014

Enhancements:


Timber members - EN 1995-1:2004 Checks:

Timber to timber or timber to panel connections formed using metal fasteners, loaded laterally in single shear are considered in this template. The output covers the design step by step and gives the number of shear connectors required along with the minimum distances required to position the fasteners. It also reports the joint slip at the end.

9. Joint – Double shear connection - This template is designed to undertake BS EN 1995-1- 1:2004 + A1:2008 checks for a three member connection. Timber to timber or timber to panel connections formed using metal fasteners, loaded laterally in double shear are considered in this template. The output covers the design step by step and gives the number of shear connectors required with the minimum distances required to position the fasteners. It also reports the joint slip at the end.

2. In the template, Concrete - BS8110:1997 Design - Beam - rectangular - multi-span, a spurious error message was generated under some sequences. This has been corrected.

3. In the multi-span templates, changing beam and slab references erased the loading and detailing results. This has been corrected. In addition, errors when renaming span references have also been fixed.

4. In certain sequences, Copy loads from previous beam and Copy/all features did not work properly. This has been corrected.

5. In the main window, copy and pasting of components now works correctly.

6. Issues when printing results with ‘omit header details’ selected have been corrected.

Post-installation notes

Once you have installed CADS SMART Engineer, it must still be authorised before it can be used. The procedure is the same for stand-alone and network installations. For network installations, you should ensure you have the necessary permissions to write to and create directories on your server drive before starting.

To start CADS SMART Engineer, select the ‘CADS System - Analysis, Modelling & Design' icon from the Desktop or 'CADS' program group (Start->Programs) and then click on the ‘SMART Engineer’ button from the ‘Analysis’ tab. If the program is not authorised the licence manager will be invoked automatically, through which the licence can be requested.

At any time, a licence can be requested by pressing the "Licensing Wizard..." button and the application can be licensed by pressing the "Enter/Import Licence Codes..." button of the CADS Licence Manager.

For details refer to the CADS Licence Manager help.

If you have any questions about this procedure, please contact our Technical Support Department who will be happy to help.
