Structures Tab

This Ribbon is available only when you are working on a structural analysis with the Structural Hierarchy tab selected in the System panel.

Add

   Add Structure(s) opens the Select Structure(s) window where you select which structures to add. The new structures will be added to their places in numerical order.

   Add SubStructure(s) opens the Select SubStructure(s) window where you select which substructures to include. The new substructures will be added to their places in numerical order.

  Add SubSubStructure adds a new sub-substructure to the substructure that is currently selected.

   Add Structural Item adds a new structural item to the item that is currently selected in the System panel.

Security

  Item Permissions is available only for secure databases. It opens the Item Permissions window, which allows you to specify the user accounts that can view or modify the item.

Tools

  Import Structures opens the Import Structural Hierarchy Items window where you can copy items from the current database or from another database into the current project.

  Attachments allows you to manage the linked or attached files for the selected item.

  Configurable Options opens the Configurable Options for Structural Analysis window where you customize some of the settings for the environmental deterioration (ED) and accidental damage (AD) analyses that you can perform for any structural item.

  Reports allows you to generate predefined structural analysis reports in Microsoft Word.

  Status Updates opens the Status Updates window where you can add additional information about the item.

Analyses

  Add ED (Metals) and    Add ED (Non-Metals) add an Environmental Deterioration (Metallic) or an Environmental Deterioration (Non-Metallic) analysis to the currently selected SSI item.

   Add AD (Metals) and    Add AD (Non-Metals) add an Accidental Damage (Metals) or an Accidental Damage (Non-Metals) analysis to the currently selected SSI item. These commands are available only if the project separately evaluates metallic and non-metallic materials when evaluating the potential for accidental damage.

   Add AD Analysis adds an accidental damage analysis to the currently selected SSI item. This command is available only if the project combines both metallic and non-metallic materials when evaluating the potential for accidental damage.

  Delete Analysis deletes the analysis tab that currently has focus in the Analysis panel. There is no undo for delete.

Materials

  Add New Material adds a new material to the currently selected ED (Metals) analysis or ED (Non-Metals) analysis.

   Add Existing Materials allows you to copy the properties from an existing material or link directly to an existing material.

   Edit Material allows you to change the properties of the currently selected ED (Metals) or ED (Non-Metals) material.
