Operation

The application will operate in two modes:

Lite edition
Professional edition

The Lite edition provides a subset of the functionality of the Professional edition. It requires a reduced set of input parameters and it produces two graphs:

Bending moment graph
Relative deflection graph

These two graphs are sufficient to determine the design ultimate strengths for user-detailing in accordance with AS-2870.

The Professional edition provides a richer set of input parameters and produces the same graphs as the Lite edition as well as an extra results page. This extra results page calculates ten sets of variables satisfying the design criteria and allows the user to experiment with different design variables to achieve a least cost solution.

Trials

The application can be run in Trial mode. In this mode the application operates as the Professional edition but printing is disabled. A Trial edition will time out after 14 days and cannot be refreshed until either the Lite or Professional edition is purchased. Download a FREE Trial now
