Steel design module providing different results in different versions

[d_cava90]

Hello,

Whilst reviewing a model created by one of my colleagues in Robot 2024, I noticed that the utilisation ratio provided by the steel design module is different than that given by Robot 2022.

After reviewing a few things, we believe the issue is related to Robot 2024 not correctly considering the characteristic points (where the forces are highest) in conjunction with the division points. When my colleague ticked off the characteristic points and just used the division points, he got the same utilisation ratio (higher) that I got in Robot 2022.

I have attached the model, please look at these elements " 238 242 255 262 ".

Can you please clarify why this is happening?

Thanks

Hi @d_cava90 

Issue was corrected in version 2025. In version 2024 switching off characteristic points helps.
