Create an Isolated Footing Job

Now that all the global project data has been inputted, you have the ability to design the foundation using Isolated Supports, Pile Caps, Strip Footing or you could support the entire structure on a single Mat Foundation. You will not have to create separate input files for entering all this information. All you have to do is to create separate jobs under the same project.

Use the following procedure to create a job:

Click on Job Setup > Create a New Job in the Main Navigator pane.

The Job Info forms open in the Data Area pane.
Enter the following values in the Job Info form (top half of the Data area):
1. Enter Job1 for the Job Name.
2. Select Isolated for the Job Type.
3. Select Assign to all support for the Support Assignment method.
Click the Select All () button to move all the load cases over to the Selected Load Cases list on the bottom of the page.
Click Create Job. A new leaf is added to the Main Navigation pane for the Isolated Footing job.

Note: When there are multiple jobs and load cases in a project, you can quickly switch between jobs or loads using the tools in the Ribbon. Job settings of the selected job may be edited by clicking the ‘Edit Current Job’ leaf under job setup group in Main Navigator pane.
