springs.

element information tool-tip.

so no graphics updates are performed until desired.

for material #441.

routine.

labeling in outptu reports.

- Per a B31.8 VIII Code Interpretation, the "combined"

stress for PipeLines should use nominal dimensions.
Computations changed to address this Interpretation.

OUTP02.EXE - Static output processor relinked for graphics changes.

- Corrected the "hanger count" for constant effort hangers.

- Corrected a "display issue" with "Custom Reports" where

the displacement and stress values were duplicated from
 the "From Node" to the "To Node".

PCFIMPORT.EXE - Corrected vertical restraint type (from YSNB to Y).

PIERCK.DLL - Corrected the SIF computation of EN-13480 reducers

PIERCK.EXE (to 1.0) for the "In Plane/Out Plane" method.

pad width when used with "mixed" units systems.

nodal and elemental annotations.

==================== ENHANCEMENTS / MODIFICATIONS ======================

ANAHLP02.EXE help text) to reflect revised paragraph numbering.

APPRVD.BIN - Updated the Stoomwezen Approval Certificate to reflect

the Stoomwezen approval of Version 5.20.

[X] is always active.

- Added a "monthly" check for updates from the COADE

website.

C2S.EXE - Structural input module, relinked for graphics changes.

DYNPLOT.EXE - Graphics animation module relinked for graphics changes.

MISC.EXE - Flipped the output ordering of the "Tee SIFs" so that

"in-plane" is listed first, to match the piping input.

OUTWORD.DLL - Modified to check the setting of the "BPFix" registry

switch to avoid the possible "Bad Parameter" error
when exporting output to MS Word.

PREPIP.EXE - Piping input processor relinked for graphics changes.

- Modified LISTs so a "refresh" doesn't reposition the

data back at the top of the list.

- Modified the "Element LIST" so that the density values

appear before the temperatures.

ROT.EXE - Updated allowable labeling to be consistent with the

input (changed "Figure 6" to "Table 4").
