Parameters for skirt design in EN13445 (and CODAP)

Please add the possibility to enter the values lt, ht and eat according to EN13445 16.12.4 for the design of skirt. In my attached file, when changing lt to 179.7 mm and eat to 7.7 mm, the formula (16.12-70) is now verified without changing the sk...

Reference point - nonsymmetric allowable

Reference point is great tool to verify connector capacity. Currently only symmetric allowable values could be used. Many times connectors allowable loads are nonsymmetric ex. range of values -80 to 0kN or -150 to 350kNm. See attached image. It wo...

Expansion Bellows - Option to input the number of half-convolutions (e.g. 2.5)

It is not possible to set 2.5 Convolutions (N). In some cases, I have to consider bellow with 2.5 convolution, but I cannot design as there is no option to enter this value.
