FStr vs 1.4.0

29 January 2022

Windows PC .EXE

MATLAB .mlappinstall

LATEST VERSION

Version 1.4.0 ;) !!

  • Added a new, easy and intuitive way to insert longitudinal lengths in linear and log formats;

  • Added the option to use a log scale in the vertical axis for the signature curve (which is useful for viewing high and low load factors);

  • Added support for three new parametric sections: I-shape, Wide Flange, and T-shape;

  • Verified and validated the cases of orthotropic materials. The necessary parameters are the transversal elastic modulus (Et), longitudinal elastic modulus (El), minor Poisson ratio (vtl), major Poisson ratio (vlt) and shear modulus (Glt). In the case of isotropic materials, the Glt parameter is optional;

  • Added a new variable called alfa for rotating the polygonal cross section of a Polygonal Hollow Section;

  • Improved the program's opening screen with a cleaner and more minimalist logo;

  • Improved the way data from parametric cross-sections is inserted and organized;

  • Fixed a bug that occurred when the FStr window was maximized during initialization;

  • Added a MATLAB app (.mlappinstall) file for installation on the MATLAB platform (option for MAC users).

Have a good time using FStr for Elastic Buckling Analysis!


Note: Despite its small size, FStr requires the MATLAB Runtime Engine to be installed in order to run. This makes the installer file quite large.

FStr vs 1.3.0
