If you save the selected result using button “Save As” (see picture above) and open the saved .esa file, you will get the corresponding structure (see also attached file Steel truss girder_best.esa).
The structure saved this way contains the status corresponding to the values of parameters. To get also correct cross-sections, it is necessary to run Autodesign function manually!
Run linear analysis and Autodesign afterwards in SCIA Engineer. Use the Optimization Routine for iterative design (due to reasons described in chapter 2.2). Let the software determine automatically how many iterations are necessary and click the button Start.
For more information, you can see the final cross-section dimensions with optimal utilization in the preview window which appears at the end of Autodesign.
Using function Bill of material you can see detailed output of mass related to each cross-section.
