Problems fixed in UCFyber version 2.2
The Discretization has been reported to lock in an infinite loop when the display resolution is set to 256 color mode. UCFyber uses a base color for drawing and some display drivers interpret it incorrectly when set in this low color mode. If you are having this problem - set the color mode to a higher setting (i.e. High Color 16-Bit). This setting can be changed in the Display Settings section in the Control Panel of Windows.
Bringing up the User Defined material model on computers running Windows NT with Dr. Watson and/or Norton Utilities running in the background caused a program crash.
When adding bars by coordinates in Metric units, UCFyber crashed.
When adding section corner points, the points were snapping to the closest snap point and not the exact coordinate input by the user.
The centroid of a section using a User Defined material model with the selection of compression as positive turned on was giving incorrect results.
When adding points by coordinates that were outside the discretization boundary, it caused a general protection fault.
If deleting a material from a material form that had no material specified, UCFyber was deleting the next material on the list incorrectly.
The new Code Reduction Factors added to the PM Interaction loading were not backward compatible with previous versions of UCFyber.
Internal tolerance for Interaction loading was set too high causing wild points to be seen near the tension capacity of PM Interaction loadings when set near yield values.
Saving files containing PM loadings with code reduction disabled caused a corrupt file message.
If the drawing window was set to a larger space than the drawing boundary and the user used the mouse to enter points in 'Draw Section Mode' a general protection fault resulted.
Values computed in the confinement calculator were being shown in ksi units no matter what units the user had selected. Also, values for the confined concrete strength were about 10% off of values given in the Mander paper for confined sections in the very low confinement range.
On some networks, the program incorrectly reported that it could only print on 8.5" X 11" paper and thus would not print. This has been changed to a warning.
When exceeding the maximum number of fiber in a section an error message was shown containing no message.
There was a typo in the status bar on the calculation of the concrete confinement.
If the section name was changed from Section1 in the 'Start New Project' wizard, it was automatically changed back to Section1 upon starting the new project.
If data in the project manager was double clicked while the data table was minimized, an error occurred that terminated the program.
When right clicking bars in bar mode, UCFyber was using the snapped coordinates to decide weather or not to enable the bar properties editor as a user choice. Thus, if large snap coordinates were set, some bars could not be edited.
If the 'Snap to Close' tolerance was set less than the Snap distance, shapes with no area could be drawn causing a program crash.
When printing the material reports, the material titles came out incorrect.
Titles changed in the Graph Reports are kept when the Report is closed, then re-opened.
When saving files where the maximum allowed number of was set to over 30,000, the file became corrupt and the user was denied access.
When trying to open the User Defined Material Model, the program crashed. On some NT computers the Microsoft dll Msstdfmt.dll had not yet been installed.
