MY PROJECT

Save project
your current project is saved directly without further inquiry.
If no file name is present the save dialog is opened. You will find the function Save project 3-times in the user interface with the same functionality. This serves to an easier and quicker operation.

Edit project
You can provide your design result/printout with additional information. This information are also displayed in the print preview. For your own logo we recommend a dimension of 320 x 95 pixel. Larger images will be scaled automatically.


New project
This function guides you to the backstage-area to the function Section New and provides a gallery of predefined projects to be opened.
Alternatively you can „neutralize“ your project by different functions, e.g.:
  • Remove all existing loads and moments
  • Remove the profile
  • Remove bending of the anchor
