Introduction to parametric input

The parametric input enables the user to define some of structure properties as parameters. Thus, for example, the geometry may be defined by means of parameters, loads can be defined as parameters, etc.

The parameter are fully editable and when changed they may lead to a very straightforward modification of the calculated model.

What’s more, a model defined by means of parameters can be saved as a template. When opened, the user is first asked to fill in the table with all the parameters present in the model. This may be effectively used for creation of simple "programs" for e.g. calculation of continuous beam, simple frame, etc.

The user has to create the structure only once. Then he/she has to define the parameters and save the structure as template. In the future, he/she just fills in the table with a few parameters and can immediately proceed to calculation and evaluation of results.
