Overview of Design Generation Settings in Girder System Projects

 

Design Generation Settings input in Girder System Projects is organized into the following categories:

 

             Girder Design

             Bracing Design

 

The input associated with each category is further organized into subcategories, each with an associated button which asks a question or series of questions to specify, review, or change a given type of settings, for a particular girder or for all girders.  The WIZARD button asks the questions that are associated with a group of these buttons to cover the primary Design Generation Settings information in one sweep.

 

The ACCEPT button saves the changes that were made and returns to the main menu.  The CANCEL button returns to the main menu without saving the changes that were made.
