Topics in this section

• About analysis types and parameters
  
• Change the analysis type of a static linear load case
  
• Change analysis type dialog
  
• Change the analysis type of multiple static linear load cases
  
• Change of Analysis Type for Selection of Cases dialog
  
• Set the analysis parameters
  
• Set analysis parameters on a selection of cases
  
• Define a new dynamic case
  
• Remove a case from the analysis
  
• Analysis Types dialog - Analysis Types tab
  Use this dialog to create a new load case definition, change a load case type, or modify the parameters of an existing load case.
• Parameters for Selection of Cases
  
• Analysis Type dialog - Result filters tab
  Use this dialog to obtain a result global selection obtained for nodes, bars and other elements defined in a structure.
• Direct Analysis Method (DAM)
  The Direct Analysis Method for steel frame structures was introduced in the 2005 AISC Specification. The primary benefit of this approach is the possibility to check the section capacity during the design phase, without using effective lengths or amplified moments.
