Check
Composite design Check helps you verify composite member utilization based on selected calculation data and review results in table format.
Tool palette
When you activate Check, a tool palette opens.
The tool palette has two options, but options may not be available for every subtype:
-
Calculation – drop-down menu to choose the check basis:
- Load combinations
- Load groups
-
Display table – checkbox that opens the utilization table.
Utilization table
The Utilization table is split into two tables:
-
Groups table (top) – shows design groups and ungrouped single elements.
-
Element details table (bottom) – shows detailed utilization results for elements in the selected group, or for the selected ungrouped single element.
Groups and element columns by subtype
The group and element tables correspond to the composite auto design table for the selected subtype, using the same columns.
Groups columns:
-
Group – group name, or the element name when the row is an ungrouped single element
