After doing Learning Multiframe tutorials (see Chapter 1 Getting Started for more information) you should now have a basic knowledge of some of the features of structural analysis and design using Multiframe. This chapter presents a series of step-by-step instructions to the tasks covered in Learning Multiframe as well as other procedures you will want to know about.
The chapter begins with a summary of basic computer skills, and this is followed by a description of the tasks involved in analysing and designing a structure using Multiframe. These tasks fall into three general categories; Creating the structure, specifying the loads and interpreting the results of analysis. The first three sections of this chapter reflect these categories. This is followed by detailed explanations of doing design calculations, printing and saving data and transferring data to other programs.
