6.3 Analyzing Trusses

Description

This module demonstrates how to analyze all trusses within a project. Analyzing trusses applies loads and forces to chord and web members and also applies plating. The Explorer panel displays the analysis status to aid in the systematic review of all truss components.

Tip

If you would like to perform a detailed analysis for all components, a best practice is to open a single component in Design Mode, enable Detailed Analysis, return to Layout Mode, and Analyze All Changed Components.

Objectives

• Describe how to ensure a Detailed Analysis is performed on all trusses.

• Explain how to identify analysis status from the Explorer panel.

• Demonstrate how to analyze all components from Layout.
