Welcome to the 2-minute tutorial!
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate the basics of working with the design sheets.
We will use a simple beam design as an example.
So, we are designing a simple span steel beam with uniform load.
We need to specify the size of the beam, the span, and the load q. The design sheet will then automatically check the bending, shear and deflection.
Feel free to try different scenarios. Note this example is for demonstration only. For simplicity, load factors are not considered.
Congratulations! You have finished the tutorial.
As you can see, the design takes only one minute. Actually, it will only take you a few minutes even if the design is as complex as a shear wall design or a special moment connection design. You will be amazed.
You are now ready to work with all the design sheets. However, related design experiences are strongly recommended. Engineering judgment shall always be exercised before the results are accepted.
