Enhancements

1. Bentley Trust Licensing has been implemented. Thanks to Trust Licensing, users can always access the software they need to get their work done. It lets users access software whenever they need it, even if a license is not available.
2. Full integration with RAM Connection 9.0.x that allows access to the latest connection design codes/standards.

Resolved Issues

1. Fix to the AISC 360-05 design for Cm factor. The moment amplification factor was not taking into account the sign convention correctly for single and reverse curvature.
2. Repair to the DXF display in the Concrete Beam Design module. When the user updated the reinforcing steel in the spreadsheet, the calculations and report were updated, but not the DXF display.
3. The deflection for cantilevered members was inaccurate. The proper equation is now being used producing precise results.
4. The wind load generation tool for several floors was not working. This has been fixed now.
5. The Fb, Ft, Fc values for Northern Pine Lumber were not up to date. Now they have been set accordingly to the NDS Addendum of March 2013.
6. The crash when RAM Elements users tried to design a model due to a glitch in the Welcome Screen has been eliminated.
7. Cracked inertia calculations equations were fixed to consider one or two reinforcement layers.
8. Wrong wall weights for partially grouted walls were being calculated and now this has been fixed to match TEK tables accurately.
9. The cracked moment of inertia calculation has been changed to consider just one reinforcement layer.
10. Several other minor fixes.
