2.The Project Assistant is displayed where you can choose to use the last calculation, the last project, a recent project, or create a new project.

4.Editing or adding a calculation takes you to one of the calculation modules.
 

5.Using the calculation sheet, you enter data on the input tabs while reviewing results and graphics on the output tabs.
 

6.When the structural calculation is complete, you can print it and/or save it.
