Adding a Calculation to your Project

 

To add calculations in the Project Manager, you highlight where you would like the new calculation to be inserted and select the [New] button. At present we have no calculation yet in the Section named "CALCULATIONS", so we will highlight it and press the [Add Calc] button. Please do this now......

 

       Highlight Roof Framing :   and press :

 

 

 

The system will now display a window where you can select to insert a "Section" or a "Calculation" :

 

 

 

A "Section" is the high level grouping identified in the Project Calculation list.  The item "CALCULATIONS" is a Section.....if you select "Insert a Calculation" from the window shown above the calculation would be placed in the "Section" named "Calculations". Follow along and we will add a calculation and then change the name of "CALCULATIONS" to "2nd Floor Framing".

 

At this time go ahead and select "Insert a Calculation" from the window.  The next screen you see will allow you to select exactly which calculation module type you wish to add:

 

 

Note these two tabs change the way all the programs are listed so that you can have an easier time locating the desired calculation.

 

The tabs on the right that subdivide the programs further....

 

       Tabs shown when sorting by Material

                         

 

       Tabs shown when sorting by Type

 

                       

 

Between the Material and Type tab sheets you can easily find the calculation module you would like to use.

 

One additional item on the screen is just for long time ENERCALC uses. This selection box that allows you to import calculations from previous versions of the Structural Engineering Library.
