What's new in version 25

In Spotlight

7th degree of freedom for bar elements

Precise torsion and stability analysis using simple bar elements, capturing warping effects, bimoments and LTB behaviour with exceptional efficiency

More features

Interoperability

IFC enhanced

Full IFC 4.3 support, new entity imports, terrain-to-soil conversion and flexible multi-model merging, ensuring smooth OPEN BIM collaboration

Use Interface and Modelling

User profiles

Customize your workspace with user profiles tailored to your discipline and everyday workflows

Structural object template

Reuse predefined structural object templates to reduce repetitive setup and ensure consistent modelling

Library shortcut

Open and manage libraries directly from drop-down lists without leaving the current dialog

Design

RC Design improvements

Significantly faster RC design and improved handling of large, complex models, with design calculations accelerated by over 20% and much faster transitions between working modes

Improved buckling length management

Improved buckling length handling by considering direction-dependent restraints and preserving buckling settings during geometry changes

Results and Documentation

Filled result graphs

New solid-filled result graphs that improve the readability and spatial interpretation of graph-based results in complex 3D models and documentation views

Stress components by internal force

Evaluate stress in bar elements by individual internal force components, enabling independent or combined review of stresses arising from different effects

Shared folder for title blocks

Store and reuse title blocks from a shared folder to ensure consistent documentation across teams

German documentation language

Generate drawings and reports in German, independent of the FEM-Design user interface language

Parametric Model

Better Grid management

Automatically generate and manage parametric grids to speed up creation and editing of repetitive structural layouts

Parameterizable regions and solids

Create reusable parametric foundations and cross-sections using parameterizable regions and solids

Parameters defined by equations

Define parameters using equations to create flexible, constraint-driven parametric models

Improved Input Wizard

Select, filter and apply parametric templates faster with the improved Input Wizard
