General Criteria

The General Criteria dialog contains one item: the number of load combinations for which to store design results after the design is performed. The user can choose to save the result for only the "N" most critical load combinations. Limiting the number of results stored can increase performance. By default, the results from the five most critical load combinations are stored. The results for all load combinations are always calculated, since this is necessary in order to determine which combinations are the most critical. However, the specified number of results are displayed and stored, unless the user selects Store all design results (which is not recommended).
