Girder erection is typically only necessary to consider the non-composite state of girders in a design process. As a result, in general industry practice, girders and cross frames are erected in a single stage. However, if the user needs to model a detailed girder erection process, they can utilize the features available under the 'Girder Erection (Partial)' section.
