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. |

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.
→ 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. |  |
