Within the framework of 2nd stage of issue of versions 10 of our software we prepared renewed versions 10.1 of all our products.

1. In all procedures of the software search by regular expressions is available now.
   
   Remind that the regular expressions allow you to use logical functions AND and OR during the search. With help of these functions, it becomes possible to search by two or more words or their fragments. Until now, the ability to search by regular expressions was available only in the procedure of searching for steel (alloy) by composition and properties. With help of these functions it is possible to take into account application of steel or alloy during such search.
   
   In version 10.1, this possibility is available in all software procedures where there is a search by filter: when searching for a steel (alloy) grade, standard or plant in the database, when selecting required equivalents in the proposed list, when choosing the required type of product in the tree as well as in other procedures.


2. Information on thermal capacity, thermal diffusivity, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of steels and non-ferrous alloys, was added to the software reference section.

As usually all registered users of our software will get the renewed versions 10.1 without additional payment within the scope of our support.
