  • One new section added in the Section Properties Calculator (Wide flange with rounded corners).
  • Improvements in the Section Properties Calculator.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2022 v4.1
Release: Mar. 23, 2022

  • Major bug fix: Under certain circumstances, and for certain units, the Bending Moment Diagram was not drawn correctly on the screen.
    ALL users of v4.0 of the program should upgrade to v4.1     as soon as possible, to avoid this bug.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2022 v4.0

Release: Mar. 16, 2022

  • Units functionality added. Support for all major unit systems (Metric, Imperial, etc).
  • Import Section from Databases functionality added. The user can import sections from the full AISC Database or a European Database.
  • QUICKSTART functionality added. A user can draw an Element quickly by assigning a predefined Material and Section to it.
  • Default Material and Section functionality added. Any Elements drawn on the screen are assigned the default Material and Section.
  • Nodes and Elements can be numbered with letters (A, B, C, etc) instead of numbers.
  • New Panel that shows Nodes' and Elements' properties.
  • The user can choose the thickness of the Elements drawn on the screen.
  • Open Examples folder opens the folder within the program (instead of opening an Explorer Window.
  • The Model equilibrium is always checked after the analysis, to check if the analysis results are meaningful. If all equilibrium equations are satisfied, the results can be presented to the user.
  • New program icon and splash screen. New design of various program elements.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2021 v3.5
Release: Nov. 26, 2021

  • Major bug fix: Due to a bug, the intermediate displacements of members did not show up correctly in the displacement drawing on the screen, in the case of Elemental load or Body load on the Element. The bug is present in versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the program, but it does not affect older versions (Beam.2D v2.x). Note that this is not an error in the analysis. All FEM analysis results are still correct and accurate. This has to do only with the intermediate displacements shown on the screen when drawing the deformed shape of the model.
    ALL users of v3.x of the program should upgrade to v3.5     as soon as possible, to avoid this bug.
  • Zoom previous functionality has been improved. The button is disabled when there is no previous zoom.
  • The intermediate displacement of a point along an Element is now reported in both Global axes, and Element Local axes. Previously, only displacements in local axes were reported. Now dX, dY stand for global axes displacements and dx, dy stand for local (Element) axes displacements. All four values are now given on screen.
  • Minor bug fixes and improvements.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2021 v3.4
Release: Sep. 7, 2021

  • The exe file is now signed by EngiLab using a code signing certificate. Previously it was not and in some systems Windows Defender identified the program (falsely) as a threat.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2021 v3.3
Release: Aug. 25, 2021

  • Minor bug fixes and improvements.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2021 v3.2

EngiLab Frame.2D 2021 v3.1
Release: Aug. 19, 2021

  • The examples in the installation directory were not readable by v3.0, this is now fixed in v3.1.
  • Other minor bug fixes and small improvements.

EngiLab Frame.2D 2021 v3.0
Release: Aug. 12, 2021

  • New Undo/Redo function in the Nodes and Elements forms.
  • Any change in the forms is now registered in the model history, one by one. This is not the case in the Materials and Section forms which remain as they were, i.e. changes in the Model are registered only after the form is closed.
  • The Volume and Mass of each element are reported in the Elements form, as read only properties, together with the Length.
  • New settings for showing the decimals of Volume and Mass.
    Nodes: New option to add a new Node based on the coordinates of a selected (or the previously defined) Node.
  • Nodes: New option to copy Nodes several times instead of only once.
  • Elements: New feature, Move Elements, or Copy Elements, several times.
  • Bug fix: Sorting of Nodes displacements and support reactions in the results is now done properly.
  • Node coordinates are drawn in a better way on screen, with the text center justified.
  • New settings for the Full Report (RTF) in the Results. The user can choose what to include in the report.
  • New setting for the size of the images in the RTF report. The user can now set the (max) size of each image (in pixels).
  • The “Import DXF” menu has been moved from “File” menu to “Tools” menu.
  • New icons for Nodes in the “Set constraints” tab of the Nodes form.

EngiLab Beam.2D 2018 v2.5
Release: May 10, 2018

  • Quick way to save a full analysis report (in the results section, "Full Report (RTF)" tab), with Ctrl+S.
  • Report files are now automatically named based on the model file name as ”FileName – Report.rtf”.
  • A major bug was fixed: When using the "Import materials/sections tool", the filename of the file was changed and as a result when saving the model, the model would be saved on the imported file.
  • The setup package is now digitally signed by EngiLab using a code signing certificate.
  • Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

  • New setting for Nodal Loads and Support Reactions graphical representation: View the FX, FY Vector components or the Resultant force (ΣF).
  • New ability to right click on a selected row in a table (Materials, Sections, Nodes, Elements, Nodal loads, Elemental loads) and then click "Delete".
  • Keyboard shortcuts are fixed and now working fine (ESC, F3 for SnapNode, F7 for Grid, F9 for Snap, Ctrl+C for copy picture, Ctrl+Z for Undo, Ctrl+Y for Redo).
