As of Version 4.40, the vector F1 is now used to represent only concentrated loads. Spring hanger preloads are represented by H, and cold spring is now represented by CS.

The help text is updated for releases. Typically the help text is not updated for a build, unless a mistake is found or a clarification is necessary. With regards to the help text in Version 4.40 for the Static Load Case Editor, if you click on the available load components (region 1 in the figure below), and then press [F1], you should obtain the text as shown in the accompanying window.



Note the text in regions 2 and 3. If you have found someplace where [F1] still refers to hanger preloads or cold spring, please let us know where this is so we can correct it.

As to the load case references needing to be changed when you add or delete load cases, this issue has been noted. Version 4.50 will include a much improved load case editor which will make these corrections to load case references for you.
