Stunning speed - RSAP 2013

[ZHUKOV_ING]

Hi

I downloaded trial version of ARSAP 2013 i what can i say, this version have stunning steed working with claddings and analysing ...

For comparison i analysed model which i worked back in 2009 on ARSAP 2010 with 2296 nodes, 4351 frame elements and 1357 claddings and 24 load and combination cases (all nonlinear). Back in 2009 my analysing time was near 11min(on amd dual core processor), when autodesk release multi thread solver in ARSAP2011 and i updated my computer with Intel core 2 duo processor  i did same model and then analysing time was near 5 min but today i tried ARSAP 2013 on the same model and on same computer and the time was 1.5-2 min :DDD (next i must update my computer again with core i-7 or xeon) , this is nice improvement of speed in 3 years. Great job.

I have only 1 question when we can expect to see improvements in steel design and when we will be able to see design ratio of steel elements like diagrams along the element.

You already have this on Results/maps on bars , design tab , and then mark ratio and you´ll have the tags ,as long as you have performed the design check before.
