FSE (Flexible Shell Element) updates – (used on S&T HX)

These are a few points to consider when updating the software;

1. Update the Expansion Joint Study Properties window;

   1. To include the latest TEMA edition (currently up to TEMA 9)

   2. With the TEMA 9 ed pulldown (Full Design), some variables are greyed out. e.g. allow “Upper straight length” [Fw] to be varied to make a longer intermediate shell

   3. Allow “Top Thickness” [to] to be varied (Full Design) – to make a longer intermediate shell

   4. These items were allowed in the TEMA 8 pulldown

2. Produce these FSE in the 2D drawing complete with dimensions and material

3. Produce these FSE when making a SolidWorks 3D model
