• Assign and select menu forms enhanced to allow them to remain open for repetitive use with a new apply button.
• DirectX graphics mode enhanced to use DirectX 11 for enhanced speed and capabilities.
• A full 64-bit version of CSiBridge is now available.

• New 2-D modified Darwin-Pecknold concrete model added to the nonlinear layered shell. This model represents concrete compression, cracking, and shear behavior under both monotonic and cyclic loading, and accounts for crack rotation.
• New cable-stayed bridge template added.
• Additional frame and shell (non-bridge) templates added.
• Modify undeformed geometry feature enhanced to allow applying the modification to a selection of joints, as well as limiting the direction of modification.

• New construction scheduling wizard added for segmental bridges, allowing for quick and easy creation of a construction schedule, including travelers.
• User-defined bridge sections can now be created and used in the bridge modeler, including different materials, openings, radii, parametric variations, and editing in Excel or section designer.
• Bridge modeler enhanced to more accurately define the geometry in the vicinity of a skewed support, diaphragm, or in-span hinge for curved bridges and/or parametric variations of the bridge section at the skew.

• AASHTO legal loads for load rating added to the vehicle library.
• A new stability check added for nonlinear static load cases to report when the structure may have failed under material or geometric nonlinearities that are not obvious from the analysis results.
• Handling of convergence tolerances for time-dependent behavior during staged-construction analysis improved to better enforce equilibrium after large load increments.

• Superstructure design according to CSA S6-14 added.
• It is now possible to specify the location of steel I-girder splices, including the net to gross area ratio of the flanges in order to perform the design checks at these locations using the reduced flange area.
• Superstructure design and rating of steel I-girder bridges according to AASHTO LRFD enhanced to consider a detailed calculation of the moment-gradient factor Cb.

• Contour plots now available for frame deflections and axial stresses.
• It is now possible to output the vehicle position for moving load analysis, for a specified max/min force component at a particular location.

• Several edit menu forms enhanced to allow them to remain open for repetitive use with an apply button.
• Keyboard shortcut keys implemented within the menu interface, including customization of the shortcuts.

• Hysteresis Models: New and enhanced hysteresis models for nonlinear materials, hinges, and links have been added.
• PMM Hinges: A new parametric P-M2-M3 frame hinge has been implemented for use with performance-based design and other types of nonlinear analysis

• Girder-Only Section Cuts: Girder-only section cuts implemented for steel I-girder bridge sections to capture changes in girder sections, staggered diaphragms, and splice locations in individual girders. This also improves the design and rating of steel I-girder sections by better accounting for the controlling section within each panel.
• Linked Model: A new action “Clear and Create Linked Model” added to the Action dropdown list in Update Bridge Structural Model form. Once selected, the previous program-generated linked model will be cleared (and cleaned) first and a new linked model created.

• Energy Plots: Step-by-step energy plots available for nonlinear direct-integration time-history load cases and for nonlinear static/staged-construction load cases.
• Nonlinear Hinges: Model frame nonlinear hinges as links, allowing for use of nonlinear modal time-history analysis (FNA) for faster analysis.

• Import geometry from a DXF file into Section Designer.
