The option “Update line loads of construction elements and post-tensioned tendons” has been implemented in the “Loads” menu in the “Beam Definition” tab.
As of previous versions, the program calculates the line loads of construction elements ( “Beam Definition” tab > "Loads" menu > "Construction elements" option) and post-tensioned tendons ("Beam Definition" tab > "Post-tensioned" menu). If changes were made in these elements or in others related to them that could affect self-weight values, the program did not recalculate the loads until the project was analysed or until drawings or reports were obtained.
As of the 2019.a version, when users select the new option: “Update the loads of construction elements and tendons”, recalculates the aforementioned loads, which allows users to view their values on-screen after the modifications have been made, without the need of having to analyse the project or print drawings or reports.
