When you start Strip Wizard, it prompts you to create a new RAM Concept file. This file is where the wizard generates your model once you enter all the structural data. Strip Wizard uses all the generic settings defined in the new file (such as units, materials, loadings, etc). If you want Strip Wizard to use your custom settings, create the new file from a template. For example, if you want certain concrete mixes to be available when specifying general design parameters, you should create the new file from a RAM Concept template with these concrete mixes.

After you have chosen options in the New File dialog, the Strip Wizard dialog appears. At this point, you can load previously saved Strip Wizard settings if you want (see "Loading and saving Strip Wizard settings" for more information). To start defining your strip, proceed to the next page in the wizard by clicking Next.
