Errors in SOFiPLUS 2025

Good morning,

I’ve encountered a bug where while trying to change max thickness for structural steel (EN 10025) it wouldnt allow to select right thickness. For example if you try to set it to 80mm it would change automaticly to 80000 and there was no option to change it.

Another bug while editing thinwalled crossection if you open edit on a few stress points at once it would change thier names to “#VAR” and error would apear where it wouldnt allow objects with the same name. Efectivley destroing whole model becouse you cant edit crosssections anymore when this error apears so you cant even fix it .

Both bugs apeared in sofistik 2025-3. First bug doesn’t apear when i downgreaded to ver 2025-1.1.

Hello,

regarding the definition of the max thickness for structural steel according to EN 10025: The input definition depends on the defined unit set for the project → System Information → Unit Set . For EN design codes and their National Annexes the unit set 5 is preset with mm for sections and also the max thickness for structural steel. With unit set ‘Standars units’ m is the default. Please check it.

Regarding the inut for stress points at a cross section: The name of a stress point has to be unique. Only for the defintion for the c/t check of a solid steel cross section there is necessary to define two stress with the same name and an information about the thickness and the degree of restraint. It is not allowd to define more than two stress points with the same name. An variable defined at the axis (TVAR) is only possible for geometric informations of the master cross section and not for names and materials. An cross section interpolation is only availalbe for the geometry.
