New checks are provided before analysis procedure, option to save from SAPFIR-3D 2018 to versions SAPFIR-3D 2016 and earlier, enhanced list of data transferred from study versions SAPFIR to VISOR-SAPR, modified SAPFIR-GENERATOR module, SAPFIR-RC, etc.
SAPFIR-Structures
- Restored: option to save model in version SAPFIR 2016, 2015 and earlier.
- Enhanced: option to cut analytical models of columns and beams for arbitrary plane.
- When load is generated on the 'Floor plan' view, the warning is displayed that loads are not displayed on this view.
- Corrected: option to copy load within the storey.
- Enhanced: selection of load when 'selection window' is used.
- Enhanced: generation of punching shear contours at the column base (bottom punching shear).
- Enhanced: option to cut selected walls in the AutoCut mode.
- For floor plans, restored: option to generate objects by layers that contain objects with steel sections and to create piles and columns by contour defined with a circle.
- For SAPFIR study version (Academic Set), new option to transfer to VISOR-SAPR the earthquake load cases and design levels for analysis of masonry.
- Enhanced: filter for selection by parameters for openings and spaces.
- Corrected: error in work with floor plan if parameter 'Indicate on plan' is defined for zones with another thickness generated in the slab.
- Corrected: presentation of boundary conditions when the floor slab is rotated.
- Corrected: determining base point of the door in case the door is moved.
SAPFIR-RC
- Corrected: program crash when you generate elevation for certain detail view of dowels into columns from foundation slab.
SAPFIR-GENERATOR
- Corrected: minor errors when you deleted node 'Door' with the keyboard and when you connect node 'Access to input parameter' (InPar).

The second release (R2) of SAPFIR-3D 2018 is available now. It also contains Update 1 and Update 2 to SAPFIR-3D 2018 R1.
SAPFIR-Structures
- Added: rotation angle for the object remaines the same when the object type is changed – transforming wall into column.
Transforming wall into column (rotation angle is remained the same)
- Enhanced import of models in IFC format:
- enhanced: identification of geometric location of fillings in openings and stairs;
- integrity of model is saved during the import from Renga.
- Improved option to edit analytical model of stairs – thicknesses of plates that simulate staircases and landing.
Edit stairs – thicknesses of plates that simulate staircases and landing
- Enhanced: option to copy windows with the base point and with the commands Paste to selected storeys, Paste selected to storey.
- Enhanced: option to edit (in groups) fillings in openings.
- Advanced check of model, namely check for coincidence of surfaces.
- During import of floor plans in DXF format, in identification of steel elements (columns, beams), in parameters of these elements, material 'Steel structures' will be defined automatically.
- Corrected error that caused renumeration of slab segments after the 'Cut off by line' command and, as a results, caused re-assignment of boundary conditions assigned to these segments.
Boundary conditions on slab edge
- Corrected error that caused occurrence of duplicate piles when you selected the pile and press ENTER.
- Restored functionality of the 'Filter by parameters' dialog box when you work with beam sections.
Filter by parameters for beams
- Enhanced rubustness of the system when saving SAPFIR objects to the library, corrected error in defining the snap point of the saved objects.
Save selected fragment to the library for further usage
SAPFIR-GENERATOR
- For nodes of windows and doors, new option to generate objects along line. Width of opening is determined automatically along the length of line.
Generate windows and doors along line
- Columns may be generated by points of intersection of grid lines at storeys where elevations are below zero (below location of grid lines).
- For separate objects generated with node, it is possible to define and save parameters that may differ from properties of node.
- Enhanced option to select nodes included into Group of nodes.
LARGE PANEL BUILDINGS
- Enhanced option to generate platform and contact joints with eccentricity.
