March 2023 software updates.
In-Model Review new change. Made 2 separate tools (In-Model Review, and In-Model Checking), the In-Model review will have the approval option and the In-Model Checking will have the checking option. Added color next to start and end as below....

Release Notes: January 2023
Here are the updates completed in January.
1. Web-environment: There were incorrect weld access hole preferences at CISC. We added preferences to the weld access hole for CISC metric and AISC metric, shown below...

Release Notes: December 2022
Qnect updated the in-model review capability in button 3; 1- add option to search or filter based on comments and status and 2- add option to select parts in the model based on selected rows in the report.
There is a new pop up window that appears when a user copies the job preferences. Crucial preference settings are listed for review; once reviewed the preferences can be updated as seen fit.

Release Notes: November 2022
Endplates will be released at end of year. This is an MVP release so as customers request enhancements, we will add them.
Single Angle vertical bracing is due to be released at the end of first quarter 2023 unless other priorities arise.
Changes of note made during November:

Release Notes: October 2022
CISC Single Angle and Double Angle are now available.
Coming soon:
- End plates
- Single Angle Vertical Brace
What's new:
We have a new model review checking tool - Here is a short video that describes how to use the In-model review tool.

Release Notes: September 2022
- Angles for CISC is close to being completed.
- CISC - Change page reference

Release Notes: August 2022
Sep 8, 2022 2:06:02 PM
We are currently working hard to have End Plates available by the end of September (yay!).
Here are the month's highlights:
- New weekly digest email - This gives each customer the ability to receive a summary email describing the number of connections that were completed that week.
- Shear Plate Beam to Column Flange eccentricity preference - these two preferences were added within the Min Job Preferences page.

Release Notes: July 2022
Upcoming:
- Targeting End Plates at end of summer and Single Angle bracing this fall.
- CISC building code will get single and double angles this summer as well.
- Update maps to ensure readability
- Shear plate positioning to include SQUARE_TO_FILLER, etc.

Release Notes: June 2022
- Update Q-BM-FORCES templates - This allows customers to generate many types of Maps within the Map tool in button 3. You can use the selection criteria to limit what will show on the map like just doublers or just joints where the force is missing
- List of prefs that should have a picture associated with them - We have added many pictures to preferences to clearly define what the tricky preferences mean. Just click on the ?.

Release Notes: April 2022
Coming soon:
- Utility ratio preference to offer a percentage gap between the required force and the designed capacity.
- Total control of designed angles and plates to match inventory and mandated requirements.
- Advanced washer control to use preferences to meet engineering requirements.
On its way
- Ability for Qnect to use connections designed in earlier sessions when designing groups of joints.
- End plate connections - AISC
- Single Angle Bracing connections - AISC
- Double Angles - CISC
- Advanced MAPS capability to filter what you want to show on a MAP.
Available now...

Release Notes: March 2022
For conventional shear plate connections with vertical bolt spacing > 3”, should Qnect always use full eccentricity = “a” instead of reduced eccentricity = “a/2”?
Default to “no”.
ENGINEERING:
IF the answer to the question above is “yes”, AND the shear plate design is “conventional” AND with vertical bolt spacing > 3”, THEN force the use of e=a instead of allowing e = a/2.
New Qnect Model Review Tool
This tool is for EORs to quickly and easily review and approve the model within Tekla.

Release Notes: November 2021
- Added method to locate angle brace to the LEFT/RIGHT side of gusset plate for Vertical Bracing...

Release Notes: August 2021
- Short span UDL table issue - On the Forces web page there was an issue where one entry was required. Now it can be saved with zero entries.
- Follow up to QNT-6879

Release Notes: July 2021
- Duplicates: Review and fix issues.
- When running Qnect, we first check to see if the joint was already designed in the same model with the same preferences to ensure we keep the number of unique connections to a minimum. We enhanced the system to capture a bunch of corner cases that were.missed previously.
- Update weld clearance from thin doublers and angles. -
- When we have fillet welds around thin beam web doublers and angles, we should not subtract 1/16 (2 mm) from edge of doubler/angle to weld.
- Imperial: angles/plates < 0.25", clear = 0, else clear = 1/16
- Metric: angles/plates = 5mm or 6 mm, clear = 0, else clear = 2mm

Release Notes: June 2021
- Current UNDO/REDO improvement. Qnect designed a full work around to alleviate the performance issue with working with large model and the UNDO/REDO process in the model. This issue has now been resolved.
- Update custom coping preferences override. We added one more choice for cope depth of kdet beam + 1/8".

Release Notes: May 2021
This year, the development team has done a lot of work into preparing to launch the Canadian building code CSA-S16-14. This will go live in June 2021.
