The LOADS & FORCES Division in the Project Manager is automatically created for you when a new Project File is started.

 

 

There is only one LOADS & FORCES Division for each project, and it is always pre-populated with specific load-related calculation items.  Their use is optional, but these calculation modules cannot be moved out of the LOADS & FORCES Division, nor can other calculation modules be moved into or added to the LOADS & FORCES Division.

 

In particular, the LOADS & FORCES Division includes modules that assist with the development of snow, wind, seismic, and reduced live load calculations.

 

As the Structural Engineering Library is enhanced, the LOADS & FORCES Division will contain more and more tools to assist with developing your project load calculations.
