First steps in the program

In the program, the structure is created in the same way as a project is created with classic 2D design and calculation (Excel and tml) programs.

  1. Creates a 3D model with sharp main structures;
  2. Deploys loads;
  3. Corrections are made in constructions, if it is necessary after calculating the loads;
  4. Details constructions according to the Customer’s task
  5. Prepares technical documentation according to the order

Pre-made samples are available in the program, which can be used when testing the program or in the training process.
