Changelog ========= V4.0 ---- ShearFlow Analysis ------------------ A new checker is added, in replacement or complement of Fx analysis. This checker is *by default* selected for non-standard zones, but available for *standard* loads. Push-To-Reference ----------------- XXX V3.2 ---- Dynamic LOPA Visualization """""""""""""""""""""""""" For newly created models, a dynamic LOPA viewer is provided in-place of static LOPA image. This dynamic LOPA allows zomming, coloring data, mouse Hovering, *etc.*. A basic introduction is shown :ref:`Dynamic Lopa`. Loads transfer to rail axis system """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Loads are now transferred point by point, and not based on item's angle as previously. This allows a correct load transfer when an item is localized on both canted and regular rail. Major Library update """""""""""""""""""" Some major libraries are updated to their latest release. V3.1 ---- Drop units specifications from ``lcids_acc`` tab """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Starting from V3.1.1, legacy spreadsheets ``lcids_acc`` need to be modified. The units row (the second row in the input spreadsheet) must be dropped as shown :numref:`fig_required_lcids_acc_modifications`. Running a legacy non-modified spreadsheet will lead to a validation error as shown :numref:`fig_legacy_lcids_acc_errors`. .. _fig_required_lcids_acc_modifications: .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V3.1-lcids_acc-required_modifications.png :align: center :width: 400pt :alt: lcids_acc required modifications :figclass: align-center `lcids_acc` required modifications .. warning:: Breaking Change starting from V3.1.1: This change makes previous lopa spreadsheets obsolete. The ``lcids_acc`` tab does not expect units anymore. When running a legacy spreadsheet, one will get this error: .. _fig_legacy_lcids_acc_errors: .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V3.1-lcids_acc-errors.png :align: center :alt: lcids_acc error shown with legacy spreadsheet :figclass: align-center `lcids_acc` error received when running a legacy sreadsheet Main page improvements """""""""""""""""""""" Now, depending on selectez zones type (non-standard or standard), or if only standard zones are found in the layout, references selection are shown or not. As shown :numref:`fig_main_page_improvementsV31`, References panel (1) is shown only if non-standard analysis are available and at least one non-standard zone is selected (2). .. _fig_main_page_improvementsV31: .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V3.1-main_page.png :align: center :width: 400pt :alt: Main Page improvements :figclass: align-center main Analysis page improvements Miscellaneaous bug fixes """""""""""""""""""""""" - Differential repetitions is now OK - Analysis does not crash anmymore when creating shear flow critical figures - Checkers are now selected as per selected zones - Fix issue occuring when no "analyze" section is present in batchfile. V3.0 ---- Mystran is now the unique Solver """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" As of floortools V3.0, the internal solver is droppped in favour of Mystran 14.01 Granularity and flexibility """"""""""""""""""""""""""" in V2 version, ``floortools`` was basically running two steps: - binding (associate a lopa with a structure) and validation - run + postpro + check and report in one shot. The V3 version in more atomic; the process can be re-triggerd starting at any of those steps. One of the main point is it allows to change a checker option (eg. shear panel window's width) without running the first three points (binding, run and postpro). As of `V3.0` the web interface does not make und extensive use of this granularity, except for *post-analysis* XLSX traces dumping and reporting: .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V3.0-post-analysis_actions.png :align: center :width: 400pt :alt: post-analysis actions :figclass: align-center post-analysis actions available in V3 Loading Axis definition """"""""""""""""""""""" :term:`IFL` are **by default** assumed to be entered in Aircraft Global Coordiantes System. User can now specify that a set of loads are submitted in the the **rail coordinate system** by using :ref:`axis ` field. .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V3.0-ftools_loads_axis.png :align: center :width: 400pt :alt: item_loads::axis definition :figclass: align-center item_loads::axis definition Sections """""""" ``ftoolsV3`` has now an internal notion of Aircraft's sections. This can be seen in several places like graphs. Geometry items orientation """""""""""""""""""""""""" The implementation of :ref:`item_asm::item_axis ` field, (not to be confused with :ref:`tem_loads::axis ` field) allows to choose orientation of an item. FEMAP and PATRAN groups """"""""""""""""""""""" FEMAP neutral file (``.neu``) and PATRAN neutral file ``.ses`` are now available as deliverables. They provide groups for virtual beams, sections, zones and loading. V2.3 ---- Add Mystran as an alternative to internal solver """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" `Mystran `_ is available as an alternative to internal solver. Mystran is faster, much faster, than the legacy internal solver. It is also more powerful. .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V2.3-solver-selector.png :align: center :width: 300pt :alt: solver selector :figclass: align-center Solver selector introducing MYSTRAN V2.2 ---- Add High-Level validator for better validation errors handling """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" A new validator is implemented, able to catch cross-tabs errors. Ftool can now work on *non-seats* only zones """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" A zone occupied by non-seats only items (*eg.* galleys and lavatory area) can now be analyzed .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V2.2-non-standard_only_zone.png :align: center :width: 300pt :alt: non-std seats only zones :figclass: align-center Non-standard Seats only zone [Template] ``item_asm`` tab """""""""""""""""""""""""""" Column :ref:`seat_row_id` of :ref:`sheet-item_asm` tab is now forbidden for non-seats items. V2.1 ---- Add `Seat Track clips` non standard analysis """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Seat track clips (also known as *goussets* or *clips*) are now included in Non-standard analysis. .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V2.1-goussets-summary.png :align: center :width: 300pt :alt: Goussets results summary :figclass: align-center Seat-Track clips summary in web interface .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V2.1-goussets-reporting.png :align: center :width: 300pt :alt: Goussets results reporting :figclass: align-center Seat-Track clips reporting MS plotting Download all deliverables in one shot """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" A new link is provided under `Deliverables` output which triggers the download of all deliverables as a zipped archive. .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V2.1-zipped-archive.png :align: center :width: 300pt :alt: zipped archive link :figclass: align-center New zipped archive link Aircraft type and fsconf """""""""""""""""""""""" When selecting an aircraft structure to bound a :term:`lopa` on, the combo box provides the Aircraft type and :term:`fsconf` ID as additional informations: .. figure:: ./_static/changelog/V2.1-aircraft-clue.png :align: center :width: 300pt :alt: Aircraft Clue in selector combo box :figclass: align-center Aircraft and fsconf values added as clue in selector combo-box V2.0 ---- Both Standard and non-standard analysis are available.
