Safe V8 & V12 Punching Shear

[bookowski]

SAFE V12 appears to give much higher punching shear ratios than V8 using the same code and same model, i.e. if you build a model in V12 and then export/run in V8 and use the same code you get very different answers. Columns that work in V8 suddenly don't work in V12.

Has anyone looked into this? The numbers are very very different, not just a few percentage points.

Compare critical perimeter, effective depth, and inertia moments (JJ) in results between two analysis to determine difference in calculation

The way that results are reported is different so it's not that clear - V12 reports design results so they have already transformed the moments etc. The basics - Bo, d, etc. are matching in both. We've checked this very carefully - it's not a difference in the models. It seems to be that Safe V12 is getting different moments as a result of a reformulated engine - that is basically what CSI told us, although they were vague. I'm surprised this hasn't been a bigger problem in general for other designers.

I would suggest running it in DECON and compare the results. DECON's output spits out all the parameters, including the transformations.
