| Advanced Spring Design - Automatic Update: Release 7.09 |
| Effective Date: Jul 15, 2010 |
Existing ASD customers, updates will automatically be downloaded upon program start-up.
 |
Updates in ASD release 7.09: |
Power Springs:
 Updated and tested the Power Spring formulas based on those from A. M. Wahl’s Mechanical Springs book.
Wave Washers:
Default value appeared for the washer OD if the ID is given. Fixed in model now.
Torsion Springs:
Dimensional scenario now has Total Coils as a green box.
Arbor diameter added to the interface.
Extension Springs:
Arbor diameter added to the interface.
Conical Springs:
Rate infeasibility check was not sensitive enough.
Changed the quick start fields.
Improved initial guesses for common scenarios.
Report was poorly formatted near the index values.
Report was crashing if the rate plot was selected.
Rectangular Torsion:
Optional inputs were not working.
Interface:
A message is now displayed when the solver is unable to converge to a feasible solution.

| Advanced Spring Design - Automatic Update: Release 7.08 |
| Effective Date: May 18, 2010 |
Existing ASD customers, updates will automatically be downloaded upon program start-up.
|
Updates in ASD release 7.08: |
Profiles:
File - Profiles caused an error box to appear.
Plots:
An extra line was appearing on a few plots.
Extension Springs:
Program was reporting negative deflections if loads were less than initial tension.
Conical Springs:
Backsolving for a small number of active coils sometimes diverged. A better initial guess is now used.
Garter Springs:
Fixed report page width.
3D Rendering:
Dead coils now correctly shown on both ends of the spring.
Warning message for springs with more than 200 coils for the report.
An option is now provided to suppress the thumbnail graphic on the report.
Reports:
Email button added to standard report.
Wording changed to clarify cycle loads.
Torsion Springs:
Plots would not appear if just one load was supplied.
Refined the iterative process to solve for wire size given max torque conditions.
Body diameter tolerance for rectangular wire springs updated to use the proper dimensions for the required spring index calculation.
Interface:
Use of commas instead of decimal points caused problems for users with European settings.

| Advanced Spring Design - Automatic Update: Release 7.07 |
| Effective Date: Mar 04, 2010 |
Existing ASD customers, updates will automatically be downloaded upon program start-up.
|
Updates in ASD release 7.07: |
Conical springs:
Improved error trapping prior to iterative calculations so that ASD doesn't just "go blank".
Improved the accuracy of the free length and solid length calculations.
Fixed a problem involving an "Inconsistent" message that should not have been triggered.
Spiral torsion springs:
Plots were not getting displayed.
Torsion springs:
Arm angles at the "set" condition were not from 0 to 360 if the deflection was > 360.
Coil diameters can now be solved for if the wire size is not given.
Springs in Parallel:
Diametral spacing equations were kicking in even if the setting was turned off.
Interface:
DXF text height was not displaying properly when units were switched.
