The following Enhancements have been implemented for CSiBridge 2015 v17.0.0: – The responsiveness of the user interface has been improved.– The DirectX graphics functionality has been enhanced.– A friction-spring hysteretic damper has been implemented as a new link property. The force-displacement relationship exhibits linear slipping stiffness when loading, but unloads with a smaller slipping stiffness. A pre-compression displacement and a displacement stop-limit may be specified.– A bilinear Maxwell damper has been implemented as a new link property. This device is a linear spring in series with a dashpot whose force-velocity relationship exhibits bilinear viscous behavior, typical of certain oil dampers having a relief valve.– Improved convergence behavior and increased speed for nonlinear static and direct-integration time-history analysis.– Increased speed of...
