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

→ Once the analysis is completed, click |
the "Close" button to exit the analysis interface. |  |
3 |
→ Proceed by clicking the "Design" button to calculate the parametric design parameters and collect the analysis results required for the |
design |
reports. 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 |
the page pauses the process of collecting analysis results. |

click on the "OK" button to start viewing the created design reports. |  | |
5 | → Clicking on the "Report" and "Detailed Report" buttons successively will display a range of design reports that can be accessed. |  |
→ By selecting the "Detailed Report" option, you can access a variety of design outputs, including quantity reports, camber diagrams, analysis results for the superstructure at ten-foot intervals, code check reports for individual structural elements, and load rating reports. |  |
