| Optimize |
The Optimize command within View/Update is used to select the best Bar Pattern and reinforcing layout for all Wall Panels in a Wall Design Group. When this command is launched the program deletes all existing reinforcing prior to commencing the design process. Once the design has executed, in order to save the resulting changes to the database and thus make them permanent, the user must select Update Database prior to exiting View/Update. For any Wall Panels within a Wall Design Group that are Frozen, the Optimize command will not select the best Bar Pattern but rather will perform a design check on the reinforcement that exists in the Wall Panel.

| Analyze |
The Analyze command within View/Update performs a design check for all Wall Panels in the Wall Design Group, regardless of the whether each is Frozen or not. Thus, unlike the Optimize command, the Analyze command does not select any reinforcement and instead evaluates only existing reinforcing. In order to save the changes to the database and thus make them permanent, the user must select Update Database prior to exiting View/Update. |
