The Live Load command is accessible from the Libraries pull-down menu, or selecting its respective icon. This screen shows the live load data in the library file. Note, the proper design code must be selected on the Project screen before setting up or modifying the corresponding live load library. The loads listed upon opening this command correspond to the currently loaded live load library file which was selectedunder the Libraries | Setup option. To load a different library file, use the Libraries | Setup option. Precast/Prestressed Girder comes with a set of pre-defined live load types (in the list under Type). The live load types are specific to the design code selected.

You cannot modify the default load types, but you can add or copy an item in the list, as follows. Highlight the load type and Id in the list under Type and ID respectively then click Add. In the screen that appears, enter all required information in the fields. Note that un-editable fields are grayed out.

Click OK and return to the Live Load Library screen. The live load you just created will appear in the list under Items. Click Save to save the new live load in the currently loaded library file under the same file name, or click Save As to save it under a different file name. Once the live load library has been saved, click Close to exit this screen and return to the Main screen.
