Input and output sequence for generating portal frame structures

The generation of a portal frame structure can be carried out in the program by means of the following input and output sequence:

1. Creating a new job (from "File", "New").
2. Entering frames in the work area and configuration of their type and geometry (by clicking anywhere in the work area and selecting "New frame").
3. (Optional) Entering lateral walls in the work area (by clicking on the lateral part of the work area and selecting "Lateral wall").
4. Setting the material standards to be used in the analysis (from "Configuration", "Standards").
5. Setting the general data of the job (from "General data", "General data of the job"), including the definition of the number of frames and their spacing, the existence of side and/or roof enclosures, and the configuration of their own weight, the overload of use on the roof and the wind and snow overloads.
6. (Optional) Importing predefined section series or manufacturer's catalogues (from "General data", "Profile library management").
7. (Optional) If necessary, creating user steels (from "General data", "User steel library").
8. (Optional) Editing and analysing purlins on roofs and sides (from "General data", "Edit lateral and roof purlins", "Purlins on roofs/Purlins on sides").
9. Printing reports and drawings of the job (from "File", "Job reports/Job drawings").
10. Exporting to CYPE 3D (from "General data", "Export to CYPE 3D").
