News Product QuickQnect Software update

Connection failed - Fixed issue where the desktop would specify that the main beam had been modified between buttons 1 and 2.
Two-sided single angle connection to sloped girder
- 1. “Rotation” of filler beam limitations, for single angle, double angle and shear plate connectionshould be maximum from vertical of 1:12 (4.76 degrees rotation). This one shown below is toomuch. Should be kicked out with error message saying “Filler beam rotations greater than 1:12 slope from vertical not yet functional in Qnect.”
- “Rotation” of girder can be whatever is in the model, though as stated above, filler beam should be limited to 1:12 (4.76 degrees).
- 2. Double angle rotated filler connections not connecting, but should.

qnect-cplus: crashing with vertical + horizontal offset combination - This combination of preferences was causing the issue and has been resolved.

QNT-8629

qnect-cplus: Fix AISC-15 Buckling Moment Capacity calcs out and internal comparison - Calcs report not showing correctly.

QNT-8603

Supplementary changes for Alias run - Alias only runs will not update the engineering but allows the customer to make alias changes like material grade syntax or bolt assembly naming conventions by using the re-engineer UDA field on the Qnect tab. This ticket added additional features to that like having it automatically recognize several connections that may have different job preferences.
Fix OSHA related min opposite connection down distance calculation - Note that the changes in down distance did not produce incorrect results, however changes in bolt diameter and angle profile seem strange and undesired and needed to be explained.
VB - ADD EXTENDED GUSSET CASE
