ensure that the 'FEM' button located in the top-middle of the screen is active. If the button is inactive, the 'Analysis' button will not appear

.

Once the 'Analysis' button appears in the top left corner,

it

indicates that the FE model has been compiled and is ready for analysis.

→ Click on it to initiate the finite element analysis (FEA) of the steel tub-girder bridge.

• Click on the 'Design' button that appears in the top left corner instead of the analysis button to calculate the parametric design parameters and collect the analysis results required for the corresponding design report.

• During the design process, you can track the design progress from the top-middle of the screen.

• You should keep the design tab visible until the task completes, as hiding or minimizing it pauses the process of collecting analysis results.

• The design process of this project takes approximately 9 minutes.

4

• When the design run is completed, a summary pop-up will appear displaying the durations of the stages.

• Click on the "OK" button to start viewing the created design reports.

After the design run is completed, click on the 'Reports' button that appears in the top left corner, and then click on 'Detailed Report' to view the various design reports that have been set for the project.

The summary report for pile capacity code check reports the maximum D/C value against the specified pile capacity.

Clicking on the "Detailed Report" icon, as illustrated in the previous step, will open a detailed code check report that includes the most critical results, as well as all the results from different limit states.
