Calculation starts from engineering conditions, not member selection. Clarify load sources, constraints, materials, basis and missing data first. Feedback may align to sample object DEMO / N-012.
Where it applies
PV / seismic / utility-tunnel support verification
Member, connection and anchorage check scope
Feedback links to node design and material optimization
Inputs
Project location, site and installation height
Permanent / wind / snow / seismic / equipment and service loads
Support form, span, spacing and bracing layout
Material grade, sections, anchorage parameters and code basis
Outputs and boundaries
Check items and applicable case notes
Advice on sections, spans or connection forms
Deliverable catalogue (redacted samples only when authorized)
Boundary: this page does not generate result values, contour plots or pass/fail stamps.
Example
Example: logic from conditions to system checks—not a project calculation result.
How the model maps to loads
The same structure must be understood under different applicable cases. Selecting a case only updates markers and notes—it does not compute values.
Example
BEAM BRACE BASE CONN
Illustrative model for analysis logic only; does not represent specific project calculation results.
Current case illustration (example)
Current case illustration: service
Shows members and boundaries to watch under normal use. No invented project numbers.
No deflection limits or stress ratios are generated here; combinations follow project location and codes.
Current case illustration: wind
Marks lateral load-path locations to check. No wind-pressure results.
Applicable wind loads and combinations are project- and code-defined.
Current case illustration: seismic
Highlights connection and anchorage check locations. No pass/fail fill-in.
Seismic combinations and design basis follow project requirements.

How check results feed design
Find, adjust and review form a closed loop with node design and material optimization.
Find issues
Identify weak members, connections or missing boundaries under applicable cases.
Adjust
Adjust sections, spans, bracing spacing or connection forms and update the model.
Review
Re-check with the same basis and confirm closure.
