Tekla Portal Frame Designer & Connection Designer 21 Service Pack 1 Release notes

Fixes & Enhancements
A number of minor updates and enhancements have been included in this release, including:
[TSD-4665] - When adding wind loading for portal frames to BS 6399, editing values in the dialog such as qs would trigger recalculation of Cpe. However, reduction factors applicable to multi-span portal frames were not being applied correctly. This is corrected in this release.
[TSD-9256] - In Portal Frame Designer, when a combination had Strength load factors for loadcases set to zero, this could cause a crash in the portal frame analysis. With this fix, Strength load factors of zero in any ULS or SLS combinations are no longer allowed.



The automated design of steel portal frames and steel connectionsjust got a whole lot easier as Tekla Portal Frame Designer and Tekla Connection Designer now integrate with Tekla Structural Designer. Packed with really clever features and functions to make your life easier these specialist tools will help you increase efficiency and design with confidence.
