- Chinese design has been updated to the 2010 specifications for seismic load patterns, response-spectrum functions, load combinations, concrete frame design, and the seismic provisions for steel frame design. These enhancements are consistent with the following specifications: “GB50011-2010 Code for seismic design of buildings”, “GB 50010-2010 Code for design of concrete structures”, and “JGJ 3-2010 Technical specification for concrete structures of tall building”.
- Concrete frame design has been added according to Turkish standard "TS 500-2000", including Seismic Design Code 2007.
- The National Annex for Poland has been implemented for concrete frame design using “Eurocode 2-2004”.
- The National Annex for Poland has been implemented for concrete frame design using “Eurocode 3-2005”.
- The definition of material properties has been enhanced to allow user-defined standard materials through the use of XML files. Properties are segregated by region and by code-standard within these files as well as when using the materials in the graphical user interface. New materials have been added for China and Spain.
