Precast/Prestressed Girder Help

Analysis Tab

This is the fifth screen in the tab series. The screen will appear the same regardless of the design code selected, with the exception of (1) the options available in the Group (LFD) or Limit State (LRFD) list, and (2) the options on the Analysis Factors (LFD), the Analysis Factors (LRFD), and the Project Parameters.

To run an analysis, click Run Analysis. Once the analysis is finished, the results will appear on-screen,as shown below. If needed, use the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to view any results that may not be visible. Use the lists to select what type of results you would like to view. For example, in the Type list, select either load case or envelope results, where load case results are raw data results and envelope results have already been multiplied by the appropriate factors, distribution factors, impact factors, etc.

Figure Analysis Tab - After Analysis is Performed

In Precast/Prestressed Girder, you can print individual results by clicking Print. This activates the Print screen. Here, you can select to send the results to the printer or export the results to an Excel worksheet. Note that if you select the To Excel File option, you must designate a file name in the text box.

You also have the option of manually modifying the analysis factors and project parameters by clicking the Analysis Factors button or Project Parameters button. Note that the tabs available on the Analysis Factors and Project Parasmeters are specific to the design code selected.
