User Interface and Display
Incidents Resolved
* Incident Description
* 85432 An incident was resolved in which the 64-bit version of the program could take a minute or more to
launch on certain machines. This is a result of Microsoft\’s JIT (just-in-time) compiler and not a bug
in the software. Not all systems are equally affected, and newer versions of the Windows (8.1 and
10) tend to be less affected, especially if Windows Updates are current. A new tool,
CSiNativeImageGen is available to \’precompile\’ the software after installation, prior to use. In most
cases this should resolve the slow startup time, as well as speed up the displaying of forms.
CSiNativeImageGen is available in the installation folder and must be Run As Administrator.
Information on the use of this optional tool is provided within CSiNativeImageGen itself using t he
Help command, and by searching the CSI Knowledge Base at wiki.csiamerica.com for \’native image
generation\’.

An incident was resolved in which the assignment of area loads to frames was actually being
assigned as area uniform loads instead of area loads to frames. The analysis results would reflect the
area uniform loads, and usually no load was lost.
85607 An incident was resolved where the diaphragm widths in X and Y directions were flipped when
calculating the torsion due to specified additional eccentricity for response spectrum cases.

An incident was resolved in which the steel frame design results could be incorrect and/or the rightclick
design details were not able to be viewed when using the 64-bit version on certain machines.
When results were available they could appear reasonable even if they were not correct. All steel

frame design codes could be affected. This only affected v18.0.0, 64-bit. The 32-bit version was not
affected.
* 85387 An incident was resolved in which the Eurocode 3-2005 steel frame design was incorrect for box
sections. Models with box sections designed in v18.0.0 should be redesigned. No other versions
were affected.
* 85520 An incident was resolved for AISC 360-10 steel frame design in which the compression capacity of
box, pipe, rectangle, circle, general, and section designer sections was being taken equal to the
tension capacity, ignoring the compression capacity due to flexural buckling. This error could
overestimate the compression capacity of these type of sections. This only affected models designed
in v18.0.0.

Incidents Resolved
* Incident Description
85453 An incident was resolved in which the graphical display of results on a limited selection of the
model was taking extra time to display. This was a performance issue only and did not affect
results.
85587 An incident was resolved in which the date on the report cover page was not correct.
