The beam design process is categorized into two types: gravity beams and lateral beams. The design procedure for lateral beams differs from that of gravity beams due to the consideration of axial load effects as well.

In the context of beam design, the analysis source to be considered during the verification process is indicated in the corresponding cell labeled "Analysis Source". The selection and handling of the analysis source in the code check process are explained in detail in the section titled "Revisiting Code Check Templates with a Special Focus on Beams" section.
🔬 Revisiting Code Check Templates with a Special Focus on Beams
Under the "Design Criteria" section, you can navigate to the "Code Check Templates" subsection. Once there, you will find a spreadsheet that displays a collection of imported code check templates (as shown in Figure 3d).

The analysis source that will be considered during the verification process is indicated in the column cell labeled "Analysis Source". The selection and treatment of the analysis source in the code check process are explained in detail in the part “Revisiting Code Check Templates with a Special Focus on Beams” under the "Beam Design" section.
By clicking on the cell-button labeled "Show" in the "Detailed Report" cell, you can access the corresponding detailed reports for each set of load combinations based on the selected analysis results. These detailed reports provide information such as design parameters, analysis results, section analysis and code checks with relevant references. Figures 5a-5d showcase some screenshots from the column code check detailed report, highlighting the available information.
