formatting Mathcad header and footer
I have accidently pushed something while save matchad and this header and footer appeared and I cannot seem to get rid of it
Hi Antony,
I am a long retired Australian Civil Engineer, lost count of the portals I designed.
Your sheet is very professionally set out and easy to follow.
On uploaded version the header footer problem seems to be fixed?
.
Strand7 and other steel design/assess programs can read a text file of input. You can see what one looks like by exporting file type "Strand7 Text File" from your assignment. Now here's the rub. It is possible using a Prime worksheet to generate such a Prime text file. Means you never have to go through all the work again just start with a few parameters describing the building size and which wind zones apply and generate a Strand7 text file with all the calculated loads and load cases.
In practice you don't use Strand7 as it does not design/assess the steel against AS4100 you would use a program that does. I still own a license to Strand7, but the same goes a text file can be used to generate text entry to such other design/asses programs. The other program I used to assess/design Australian steel to Australian codes in practice is no longer existing.
It would make a great final year project to establish such a Prime worksheet to write the input text file entry to suit one of the steel assess/design programs used in Australia now. Like Spacegass or Bentley Staad.Pro
Cheers
Terry
