Entering some data
Below is a diagram for the roof beam we wish to design. Please enter the data, as shown on the following screens. Enter the loads and span lengths only....we will be selecting the allowable stresses and members from the internal databases in the following sections.
Here's some pointers for using the data entries...
| • | Use the [->|] tab key -or- the mouse pointer to select the data item to use. |
| • | To change an entry double-click on it so that the entire number is highlighted, then type in your new value. |
| • | The spin buttons  can be used to increment the values by a standard about to quickly change their value. |
While you are entering this data we suggest that you select the "Summary" tab on the right hand side and then select the "Results" or "Stress Calcs" tab and watch how the values change as you enter your information.
