      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.9.1.7.0) (26/01/2026)

• Added the option to reduce timber shear wall stiffnesses in the finite element model based on connection stiffnesses. With this option, the stiffness of timber shear walls is applied as a reduction coefficient in the classical finite element matrix, ensuring full agreement with the stiffness given in the ABTHYE code and its example solutions. The applied stiffness multipliers are displayed in the Shear Wall/Wall Bottom-End Section Forces table.
  
  
• The strength calculation of timber shear walls was performed according to TBDY2018; enabled it to be performed according to the ABTHYE code as well.
  
  
• Enabled data entry of timber shear wall connection stiffnesses and properties in the wall properties form.

• When the analysis error rate was being calculated, if the finite element analysis was automatically repeated due to torsion, support reactions were not being reset on a per-case basis, causing an incorrect error rate warning; fixed.
  
  
• General improvements made.
  
  

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.9.1.6.0) (09/01/2026)

• Added an additional safeguard in rigid diaphragm analysis to prevent a node from creating multiple MPC (Multi-Point Constraint) connections to the master joint.
  
  
• In rigid diaphragm analysis, made a correction to the mass center calculation (which could cause a small deviation) under the option "Distribute the masses of vertical elements equally to the floors they connect to".
  
  
• General improvements made.
  
  

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.9.1.5.0) (02/01/2026)

• General improvements made.
  
  

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.9.1.4.0) (17/12/2025)

• Even when longitudinal reinforcement in shear walls was entered as user-defined and locked, the calculation result was changing the reinforcement. Fixed.
  
  
• User-defined left/right boundary vertical reinforcement and boundary horizontal reinforcement of shear walls were not being saved to the file. Saving has been enabled.
  
  
• In shear wall reinforcement calculation, design moments were being computed based on the maximum M2 and maximum M3 values and their corresponding Nd values (per TBDY Article 7.6.6); the analysis has been revised to also consider the most unfavorable M-N pairs (such as low Mr at low Nd combinations).
  
  
• When the shear wall Ve value was negative, since it was smaller than Vr and Ve max (positive values), it was passing the check. Comparison has been enabled to use the absolute value of Ve.
  
  
• In shear wall shear calculation, when Ve>Vr, the user had to reduce the wall horizontal reinforcement spacing or increase the diameter. Revised so the program automatically applies the necessary adjustments.
  
  
• Added an axial force-moment interaction diagram in the Tables>Shear Wall/Wall form.
  
  
• General improvements made.
  
  

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.9.1.3.0) (08/12/2025)

• In masonry buildings, when calculating Vd and Md with masonry load combinations using the finite element method, shear forces and moments arising from G and Q loads were not being considered. Changed to be considered.
  
  
• In wall shear stress check, the vertical load combination for shear control was not being considered even when changed in the project general settings; fixed.
  
  
• In the finite element analysis option, enabled shear stress check on masonry walls under vertical loads as well.
  
  
• Fixed an issue that occurred when generating reports in a project where only the roof was modeled.
  
  
• In the modal analysis summary results with finite elements, the floor number was not being printed correctly. Fixed.

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.9.1.0.0) (21/11/2025)

• For the case where period calculation in the equivalent seismic load method is performed per TBDY2018 Equation 4.26, an adjustment was made per Article 4.7.3.2 to ensure the largest value of the dominant natural vibration period Tp computed by Eq.(4.26) used in seismic calculation is not taken greater than 1.4 times the TpA period given in 4.7.3.4.
  
  
• Removed the (incorrect) partial error rate warning caused by support reaction calculation in fictitious loadings during the period calculation by the 4.26 method.

• Material could not be assigned to a slab calculation axis from the 2nd Material option in project general settings; fixed.
  
  
• The error rate in finite element shear force was being calculated from the difference between the sum of shear forces of vertical load-carrying elements (shear wall/wall and column) on the lower floor and the sum of floor shear forces. This was causing incorrect large error rate warnings in buildings with base beams or timber bracing on the lower floor. Prevented unnecessary/incorrect warnings by comparing the sum of floor shear forces with support reactions.
  
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause analysis to be interrupted when wall-type shell finite elements were selected.

This makes it easy to bring insufficient timber beams and columns to sufficient capacity through bulk dimension changes in a few iterations.
  
  
• Reinforcement drawing was being performed in timber column/beam elevation drawings; removed.
  
  
• Intermediate sill beams were not shown in the vertical elevations of timber columns; their display has been enabled.
  
  
• In fully rigid diaphragm analysis, wind loads were being taken according to the maximum building dimensions; enabled automatic wind load assignment based on wall angles by specifying edge axis walls (the "wall is on the left/right/bottom/top edge axis of the building" option in shear wall/wall properties must be specified for exterior walls).
  
  
• In rigid-diaphragm-free / semi-rigid diaphragm analysis, enabled wind load to be applied to the structure based on wind direction at edge axis walls by specifying edge axis walls (the "wall is on the left/right/bottom/top edge axis of the building" option in shear wall/wall properties must be specified for exterior walls) and considering the wall's angle.
  
  
• Snow loads were configured to be applied to top-floor slabs, but due to an issue, snow load was not being considered. Enabled snow-load-receiving slabs to be specified in slab properties and snow load to be considered in analyses.
  
  
• Enabled wind-load-receiving slabs to be specified in slab properties and wind load to be considered in analyses for slabs as well.

• Added an option to display the grid in the modeling screen. Set to display by default.
  
  
• Grid spacing settings have been added to the program settings form.
  
  
• Added origin display in the modeling screen.
  
  
• Added the "Fix Nodes on Floor" option to the macros menu.

• Made an adjustment for the eccentricity option in the automatic node adjustment option.
  
  
• Prevented the display of endpoints and intersections of inactive layers.
  
  
• Although sparse matrices were used in the analysis of timber structures, the dense matrix was also being sized in the analysis (despite not being used), which could cause RAM insufficiency issues; fixed.
  
  
• Fixed issues that could occur when editing eccentric doors/windows in the node edit command.
  
  
• Enabled vertical sill beams to be moved in the node edit command.
  
  
• Enabled automatic naming of inclined elements in plan.
  
  
• In walls, when the axial force value is in tension (less than zero), enabled lc=0 (lc: length of the wall portion in compression) to be used (apart from the "assume wall end moments are zero" option).
  
  
• Enabled optional shifting of the wall or beam on top of the inclined axis when the axis is moved.
  
  
• The left and right elevations of slabs were being taken incorrectly in multi-copy of inclined slabs; fixed.

• Attempted to fix the issue of link elements not being created in some cases when columns with eccentricity are defined from different axes between floors.
  
  
• Enabled polygonal beams to be displayed with their own shapes in the 3D Ultimate screen.
  
  
• Added an automatic deletion feature for elements drawn shorter than the FEM precision value, since their start and end nodes could be selected as the same. Activated by default.
  
  
• Enabled automatic deletion of columns with B or H values of 0 in analysis.
  
  
• Enabled optional use of the penalty parameter selection in rigid diaphragm finite element analysis. With this, timber-beamed structures can also be solved with rigid diaphragms if desired. The penalty parameter should be taken at a high value that does not produce error messages in finite element analysis. For example, 10,000 for reinforced concrete and masonry buildings, and 250 for timber-beamed structures.
  
  
• After element groups were assigned, they were not being saved to the data file. Enabled group assignments to be saved to the project data file and used in subsequent sessions.
  
  
• Enabled manual assignment of timber wall cladding material (such as bagdadi plaster / lath panel) for cases where another material is desired instead of OSB.
  
  
• Enabled automatic creation of selection groups for elements that are split and derived in the "Convert slab to ribbed slab" command and assigned to the same group.
  
  
• Selection could not be made on the modeling screen when there were elements with near-zero length. Fixed.
  
  
• General improvements made.

• For doors and windows with different left/right top elevations, automatic adjustment was being made even when the "auto-adjust door window top elevations" option in program settings was inactive. Manual settings are now preserved when the "auto-adjust door window top elevations" option is inactive.
  
  
• Attempted to fix an error that could occur during irregular triangular mesh generation.
  
  
• General improvements made.

• Added the option "Create Grid Inside Selected Timber Shear Walls" in the Edit menu. With this update, timber wall element beams and posts are automatically created. Click for details.
  
  
• The "Create rib/grid on selected slab" option in the popup (right-click) menu has been changed to connect slabs to beam centers, and exception cases have been adjusted. This update saves time in timber slab modeling.
  
  
• For cases where elements are defined using eccentricity, the popup (right-click) menu macros "Move endpoint of selected walls and sill beams to the axis of the right-clicked element", "Move Selected Elements onto Selected Axis", "Move Selected Jacket onto Selected Wall", "Move Selected Fictitious Jacket onto Selected Door/Window" have been adjusted.
  
  
• Improvement made in the slab mesh algorithm.
  
  
• General improvements made.
  
  

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.8.0.9.0) (26/12/2024)

      UPDATES (StatiCAD Hybrid V.8.0.5.0) (26/11/2024)

• In finite element solutions, the system stiffness matrix was being generated as a band matrix in loadings, then converted to sparse and solved. Enabled the system stiffness matrix to be generated directly as sparse, reducing RAM usage by approximately 85% and analysis time (in large projects) by approximately 70%. The change is only related to the solution technique and does not change the results.
  
  
• Screen refresh rate has been increased. Wait time during Zoom and Pan operations on large projects has been greatly reduced.
  
  
• Fixed the issue of slabs being difficult to select in some cases when selecting elements with mouse clicks.
