Step 1b: Setting Up the Model Geometry From Scratch This tutorial steps through setting up the model geometry both from a built-in template (step 1a), and from scratch (step 1b). It is not necessary to do both of these steps in order to complete the tutorial; one or the other is sufficient. However, each of them has some unique information. 1. Click the drop down box in the status bar to change the units to kip-ft. 2. From the File menu select New Model…. This displays the Coordinate System Definition dialog box. 3. In this dialog box: • Select the Cartesian tab. • Set the Number of Grid Spaces in X direction to 2. • Set the Number of Grid Spaces in Y direction to 4. • Set the Number of Grid Spaces in Z direction to 2. • Set the Grid Spacing in the X direction to 24. • Set the Grid Spacing in the Y direction to 12. • Set the Grid Spacing in the Z direction to 12. • Click the OK button to accept the grid definition. 4. The screen will refresh and display a 3-D and a 2-D (XY Plane @ Z=24) view in verticallytiled adjoining windows. 5. Click in the window labeled X-Y Plane @ Z=24 to make sure it is active. Note when the window is active, its title bar will be highlighted. 6. Click the Quick Draw Frame Element button on the side toolbar (or select Quick Draw Frame Element from the Frame menu). Note: If you hold the pointer over a toolbar button for a few seconds, a text box including the name of the button will appear. 7. In the window labeled X-Y Plane @ Z=24, to enter a beam element click on a grid line. The Quick Draw Frame Element tool will then create a beam element on that grid line spanning between the closest perpendicular grid lines on either side of the point where you clicked.
