- Minor other bug fixes and enhancements.
Changes from Version 9.0.7 to Version 9.0.8 (issued 06/16/2006)
- The Line Constraint stiffness has been changed back to what was being used in V8. The
stiffer constraints in earlier versions of V9, even though giving better stress results, were
causing unnecessary numerical sensitivity problems in some models, especially larger ones.

Changes from Version 9.0.6 to Version 9.0.7 (issued 05/29/2006)
- Redundancy factor Rho for seismic loads was missing from load combinations for ACI-02
and ACI-05. Corrected. These designs should be verified.

allow larger jobs to be run faster.
- Several new tables added to the database display.
- Interface with Autodesk Revit Structural updated.
- Interface with IFC updated.

- Changes to Steel Design based on the Chinese code.
- Other minor bug fixes to design.
- Other minor bug fixes.
Changes from Version 9.0.5 to Version 9.0.6 (multiple limited releases)
- 2GB limit on some intermediate analysis files removed. Should allow larger jobs to be run.
Changes from Version 9.0.4/1 to Version 9.0.5 (issued 04/02/2006)
- Export/Update capability added for Autodesk Revit Structural Version 3. This data
exchange is still under development. Imported/Exported models should be checked.
- Design database tables for Shearwall and Composite beam designs added.
- Other minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Changes from Version 9.0.4 to Version 9.0.4/1 (issued 03/24/2006)

- Other minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Changes from Version 9.0.1 to Version 9.0.2 (issued 01/23/2006)
- A bug that in some cases caused User specified Wind Loads to diaphragms to be reset to
zero has been corrected.
- A bug that caused export to SAFE not to export slabs has been corrected.
- A bug that caused Static Nonlinear analysis results not to be available in Database view has
been corrected.
- Minor enhancements to Composite beam design.
- Minor enhancements to Line (Edge) Constraint formulation.
- Other minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Changes from Version 9.0.0 to Version 9.0.1 (issued 01/07/2006)
- A bug that caused DXF import not to work has been corrected.
- Minor enhancements to import from Autodesk Revit Structural.
- Minor enhancements to import from IFC files.
- Minor enhancements to Chinese steel design.
- Minor enhancements to database and graphic display of numerical quantities.
- Other minor bug fixes and enhancements.
