QP Update 6.73.79
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:36 pm
In this update a new Weather Load Case has been added - Combined Wind and Ice. This is required for the new 2020 Edition of CSA standards, but also to better address the NESC Extreme Ice with Concurrent Wind. Future updates will begin to utilize this new load case.
In addition a table of Weather Load Cases has been added to better show how the weather load cases will be utilized.
The report that produced a detailed comparison between Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of a pole has been removed. It was informative to users back in 2015 when Nonlinear Analysis was mandated by CSA Standards, but no longer in demand. Since this report required significant code behind the scenes to implement, this will help reduce the code we need to maintain and retest with each release.
