The design/check of steel frames is seamlessly integrated within the program. Initiation of the design process, along with control of various design parame-ters, is accomplished using the Design menu. Automated design at the object level is available for any one of a number of user-selected design codes, as long as the structures have first been modeled and analyzed by the program. | ç i COMPUTERS STRUCTURES INC.
