2.2 General File Management<br />
T2.1.3 The Frame Generation Menu<br />
In most cases you will be able to select a start-up<br />
frame <strong>and</strong> then tailor it to your specific requirements.<br />
In this case we shall generate a multi-storey frame,<br />
edit the co-ordinates of the roof beams <strong>and</strong> then add<br />
the two parapet walls.<br />
The Frame Generation Menu (Frame Wizard) is now<br />
displayed as shown.<br />
TIP! If the frame you are generating does not match<br />
one of the pre-processor frames, choose a frame that<br />
is similar to, but larger than, your frame. It is easier to<br />
delete members than to add them. If in doubt a multistorey<br />
frame makes a good basic grid.<br />
Select the Multi-Bay Portal Frame button<br />
3.3.2 Frame Generation Procedures <strong>and</strong> Templates<br />
The Start-up Frame<br />
The multi-bay portal frame pre-processor is now displayed.<br />
This option enables you to generate a wide variety of single <strong>and</strong> multi-bay<br />
portal frames including all the basic information such as the rafter <strong>and</strong> column<br />
sections, haunch dimensions, the values of the dead <strong>and</strong> live loads <strong>and</strong> base<br />
fixity.<br />
You can select equal or unequal bays.<br />
