DIGITAL CANAL ANNOUNCES VERSAFRAME VERSION 6

Dubuque, IA, April 9, 2013 -Digital Canal Corporation, a leading provider of professional structural engineering and design software, announces the release VersaFrame - Version 6.

VersaFrame 6 features advanced design and analysis tools like freeze all except plane, story drift calculation and additional automatic geometry generators (nodes from grid, member by nodes, shell 4s by nodes and bricks by nodes). The new version of VersaFrame also has ability of defining tension only/compression only members and rigid diaphragms.

Digital Canal continues to adopt the latest design codes within VersaFrame 6 as well. In continuation, we have introduced ACI 2011 and ACI 2008 in the new version of VersaFrame.

Upgrading to VersaFrame 6 is important for engineers because of its special modeling features. 'Story drift' calculation, 'freeze all except plane' and an ability to define tension/compression only members were features requested by clients in the past. The automatic geometry generators will save time and increase ease of use. In addition, the rigid diaphragm element, VersaFrame 6 also has ability to orient the rigid diaphragm in any regular or user defined plane.

VersaFrame 6 is fully functional in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems.

DIGITAL CANAL RELEASES FRAME ANALYSIS & DESIGN FOR AutoCAD 2012

Dubuque, IA, June 28, 2011 -Digital Canal Corporation, a leading provider of professional structural engineering and design software, announced the release of its enhanced version of Frame Analysis & Design software for AutoCAD 2012, 2011 and 2010, (32 or 64 bit computers).

In addition to being compatible with the latest versions of AutoCAD, the new version of Frame Analysis & Design features updates to its integrated Steel and Spread Footing design capabilities.

The enhanced Steel Design now includes the AISC 13th Edition (ASD & LRFD) in addition to the previous AISC codes (ASD 9th Edition and LRFD 2nd Editions). The steel shape database has been updated to the AISC 13th Edition and now includes the rectangular, square and round HSS sections. The new optimization engine has also been enhanced to search the database more thoroughly and quickly than previous versions – particularly for HSS and angle shapes. For these shapes the width field is no longer required.

The integrated Spread Footing design has also been update and now incorporates the ACI 318-08 design code.

“The updated Steel Design inside of Frame Analysis & Design is critical to our clients”, stated Clint Auderer, lead developer at Digital Canal. “We realize that many engineers are still using the older codes, particularly the 9th Edition and haven’t found the time to learn the 13th Edition. However, the full adaptation of AISC 13th Edition is inevitable as it supersedes all previous AISC versions and is required by both the IBC 2006 and IBC 2009 codes. Frame Analysis & Design provides a unique tool for engineers to transition to the 13th Edition by producing very detailed hand calculation reports for the 13th Edition as well as previous editions.”

“There is another important reason to upgrade – more efficient designs. In a study of double digit real-world, client-submitted projects, Digital Canal found an average of 11.6% savings in structural steel using Frame Analysis & Design with its enhanced Steel Design.”
