Run a Steel or Timber Design Verification

The design verification considers the SLS and ULS combinations created with the model.

  1. Select the Steel Design layout, or Timber Design layout.
    Note: Alternatively, Click (Steel/Aluminum Members Design), or (Timber Members Design) on the toolbar.
  2. In the Calculations dialog, select the type of verification that you want to perform, and then enter the list of elements that you want to verify.
    Note: Alternatively, click List to select the list of elements that you want to verify.
  3. If necessary, click Options to review the optimization options.
  4. Specify which limit states you want to include in the verification:
    Note: For serviceability limit states (SLS), specify the list of load cases that you want to consider during the analysis.
  5. Ensure that the Save calculation results option is selected.
    Note: Saving the calculation results is useful if you want to perform several verifications on the same model, and avoid time-consuming recalculations. You can deselect this option if you do not want to save your calculation results.
  6. Click Configuration to set up the calculation parameters.
  7. In the Configuration dialog, specify the number of calculations points and the calculation parameters, and then click OK.
  8. In the Calculations dialog, click Calculations.
