3D graphic view shows the image of the composite beam in 3D space. The composite beam can be rotated, panned, enlarged or reduced. Each of the components of the composite beam can be switch on and off individually on the graphic view to enable each of component to be examined individually.
2D views for elevation, cross section, web opening and loading. Detailed dimensions are given on the graphic view. They can be printed individually or embedded on the results summary output
Applied loads can be viewed on 2D graphic - load diagram. Schematic view of the loads are also available on 3D graphic.
Uniformly distributed area load. The area subjected to this load is the available width (may be variable) along the full length of the concrete
The organisation of analysis case and analysis task definition data has been rationalised and access to this data has been improved. This is to enable the editing of the full content of analysis definition data. In achieving this Member loads have been given greater prominence than in previous versions of GSA.
Option for using minimum number of shear studs that also satisfies load capacity as well as other code requirements.
In design, Compos will find the steel beam section to meet the minimum weight or minimum depth criterion that also satisfies the load capacity requirement. In previois version, only UB sections are used in the design, now the section types to be used in design can be defined
No stud zones on each or both ends of the composite beam can be specified. This is useul when damping layer is required between concrete slab and steel beam to reduce the response of the composite floor.
Both the width and depth of the concrete slab can be changed or tapered along the span.
There is no limitation on the direction of metal decking. It can be parallel or perpendicular to the beam or in any angle with the beam.
The member properties in the current page of the Member Property wizard can be applied to other members. This is usefull for making certain properties the same for a group of members.
If automatic stud spacing is selected, Compos will give the actual layout of the shear studs.
Tab separated and comma separated (CSV) text data (ASCII) files are supported by Compos 8.0.
User defined units can be used for input and output.
Metal deckings from catalogues of Richard Lees, Kingspan, SMD and Corus PMF are supported by Compos 8.0.
COM (Component Object Module) user interface enables users to run Compos through the exported functions of Compos in their program, e.g. C++ program or VBA etc. This will enable Compos to be run non-interactively or in a batch operation.
Foot-fall induced floor response analysis is a serviceability limit state analysis to evaluate the response of the composite floor subjects to human walking actions.
So as to help users ensure that they are running the latest software a new version checking system has been implemented. This compares each Compos executable file installed locally with the set that Oasys identifies as being the ‘current versions’. (The comparison is carried out locally; no data is transmitted to Oasys.) Executables for which updates are available are highlighted. Updates may then be downloaded from the Compos Downloads page.
