RR 22.02.00-4.2 Multiple Steel Design Results

The program can now display the results from different steel designs (parameter blocks).

If an input file contains multiple parameter blocks (steel design parameter sets) or multiple design commands (steel code check or member selections) within a single parameter block, then the results are available in the Postprocessing workflow. Parameter sets are numbered and multiple design commands in the same parameter block are given as decimals.

Note: This feature is compatible with AISC 360-16 only in this release.

Note: For AISC 360-2016, a maximum of nine (9) design commands may be specified in a parameter block.

The Layouts > Utilization table displays results from each parameter block or design command. Similarly, the STAAD Output Viewer displays the results for each in the Contents pane.
