New features
1. Introduced the possibility of saving different envelopes (user-defined, accelerogram-derived, function-derived), so that they may all then be used in a given analysis
2. User envelopes selection is kept even after the characteristics/properties of the latter are changed (previously, a reset back to the default option always took place)
3. Introduced the possibility of applying a “scale factor” to the target spectrum
4. Changed baseline correction algorithm to that employed also in SeismoSignal and SeismoSpect
5. Allowed the generation of up to 8 accelerograms (7 is the default selection)
6. Enforced strict respect of user-defined upper and lower values of frequency content for generated accelerograms (previously, the minimum frequency of interested was defined as half the value prescribed by the user, whilst the maximum frequency of interest was defined as double the value prescribed by the user)
7. Introduced Random Process Starter for all four generation methods (previously this was available only for methods ‘Artificial Accelerogram Generation’ and ‘Adjustment and Artificial Accelerogram Generation’)
8. Arias intensity, significant duration (A5-95) and CAV are now displayed in addition to PGA, PGV and PGD of the resulting artificial accelerogram
9. List with ground parameters for every artificial signal and overall statistics (considering also only “converged accelerograms”)
Minor udpates and bug corrections
1. Corrected bug that was causing a problem using the combination of method ‘Artificial Accelerogram Generation & Adjustment’ and ‘compound envelope’
2. Corrected bug leading to the ‘Floating point division by zero’ error message, shown in case of combination of ‘User-defined target spectrum’ and ‘Artificial Accelerogram Generation’ method
3. Corrected error in the resampling of accelerograms generated for a time-step different from 0.01 sec
4. Corrected bug that was causing the program to always consider the units of ‘g’ when reading the user-defined target spectrum file
5. Ensured that the green progress bar remains visible even after the window is resized
6. Added links to the Video Tutorials and to the Discussion Forum both in the menu and in the toolbar
7. Updates to Help System (including its Bibliography chapter)
