Tabs, Screens, and Dialog Boxes
This program is divided into five main tabs: Project, Geometry, Model, Loads/Analysisand Design. Selecting a tab allows you to open various program dialog boxes and define, analyze or rate portions of the structure. Select the appropriate tab to make changes or complete an analysis.
Note: When you are working on a project, this program adds a green check mark to tab once you have entered information.
| Project | Allows you to enter general information about the project and select the design specifications, units, analysis, and loss type. |
| Geometry | Allows you to create, modify, or delete portions of the project, including the bridge alignment, layout, piers, and cross sections. |
| Model | Allows you create an analytical model of bridge frames using plane frame geometry. |
| Loads/Analysis | Allows you to specify loads and load combinations, and set vehicle clearances. |
