DesignCalcs 2018.7 Release Notes

Build 2018.7.0.2438

Release status was October 17, 2018

New Features

A revision was made to the algorithm for matching yield and ultimate stress lines to allowable lines. This has now provided yield and ultimate matches to hundreds of allowable lines that previously did not have them. If your material selection is affected by this, you are likely to see a change in yield an or ultimate stress values used. As good engineering practice, the algorithm allowed yield/utlimate lines that came about in later years to match to older allowable stress lines; for example a 2010 allowable may use a yield line that did not come about until 2017 in Section II, D.

Issues Resolved

An issue was resolved in the Appendix 2 Flange form that was preventing the save of the component after the Pass Partition Gasket browser was opened and closed, whether a selection was made or not. DC-2149
An issue was resolved in the D1 Nozzle form that caused DesignCalcs to lock up when the pipe browser was used to select a pipe size and schedule that did not meet UG-45 requirements. Correcting this lock up by killing the process would sometimes not release the license. DC-2158
An issue was resolved in the D2 Nozzle form that prevented entering negative values for Pressure, Static Head, and Temperature on in the Loading Conditions. DC-2019
