Results of jobs analysed using the SG-X solver
Details of the bug
When jobs are analysed with the SG-X solver. For members that run in a negative global axis direction, intermediate member results in reports and steel member design may in some cases be calculated with an incorrect local axis orientation. Results shown graphically on the screen, member end results, and jobs analysed with the standard solver are not affected. The issue has been corrected, and we recommend reanalysing any affected jobs after updating.
The same problem also affected dynamic analysis. If the dynamic frequency analysis was run with the SG-X solver, a subsequent spectral response analysis could produce incorrect results for those members as well.
NOTE: Other solvers (Paradise and Wavefront) were not affected
