- Run RWIND Simulation "As Administrator". To do this, right-click the RWIND Simulation icon and select "Run As Administrator".
- Select the "RWIND Simulation - License and Authorization" function in the "Help" menu.
This opens the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx Authorization Status" dialog box. - Check in the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx Authorization Status" dialog box to see if an active software key authorization is available. This is the case if the "Software Key" option is selected in the "Authorization Method" section, and an active authorization is indicated by a green dot in the "Authorization Status" section.
If the check is negative, and a red dot is displayed, no RWIND Simulation license based on a software key is activated on the single-user computer. As a result, no license can be deactivated.
If the requirements mentioned above have been met, click the "Deactivate Online" button. The "Online Deactivation" dialog box appears. - The "Online Deactivation" dialog box shows the license specification to be deactivated.
Select the "Deactivate Now" function.
This opens the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx" dialog box. - In the "RWIND Simulation 1.xx" dialog box, click "Yes" to confirm the dialog box for the license deactivation and to permanently deactivate the license.
After successful deactivation, you will receive a confirmation message. Now, you can only use the program in the demo mode.
Online Deactivation of RWIND Software Key
How can I deactivate an authorized RWIND Simulation license based on a software key on a single-user computer online?
In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.
- Design of five types of seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) includes Special Moment Frame (SMF), Intermediate Moment Frame (IMF), Ordinary Moment Frame (OMF), Ordinary Concentrically Braced Frame (OCBF), and Special Concentrically Braced Frame (SCBF)
- Ductility check of the width-to thickness ratios for webs and flanges
- Calculation of the required strength and stiffness for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the maximum spacing for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the required strength at hinge locations for stability bracing of beams
- Calculation of the column required strength with the option to neglect all bending moments, shear, and torsion for overstrength limit state
- Design check of column and brace slenderness ratios
The seismic design result is categorized into two sections: member requirements and connection requirements.
The "Seismic Requirements" include the Required Flexural Strength and the Required Shear Strength of the beam-to-column connection for moment frames. They are listed in the ‘Moment Frame Connection by Member’ tab. For braced frames, the Required Connection Tensile Strength and the Required Connection Compressive Strength of the brace are listed in the ‘Brace Connection by Member’ tab.
The program provides the performed design checks in tables. The design check details clearly display the formulas and references to the standard.
In the Concrete Design provides an option to perform seismic design according to AISC 341-16 for steel members.
Five SFRS types (Seismic Force-Resisting Systems) are available for this.
