SAPFIR 2021 R2 Release Notes

Interoperability

• Enhanced import of floor plans DXF:
  • in SAPFIR module, when a polyline is imported to the 'Space' object, it is possible to define its interpretation as a load, its intensity and load case;
  • restored option to import surface loads;
  • fixed bug: rotation of column sections when the model is generated according to the DXF floor plan.

• Enhanced import of IFC:
  • when the openings in walls are imported, the 'Apply to adjacent walls' property is automatically set for them;
  • enhanced import of beams;
  • account of rotation angle for the building in import of IFC file;
  • enhanced generation of openings in walls for IFC files generated in Tekla Structures.

SAPFIR-Structures

• The ratio of coefficients Gamma fm/Gamma fe is transferred to the DCL table in VISOR-SAPR module for the Wind load case according to DBN B.1.2-2006 3.1(2007).
• Enhanced option to generate colours for stiffness in SAPFIR objects.
• New option to consider the weight of window and door’s assembly for walls with the interpretation Load.
• New parameter 'Wind load' is added for walls and windows. For a specified parameter, elements with zero stiffness are generated over the whole area of the opening in the design model, in particular, to collect the wind load.
