Follow the steps below to run the precast I-girder code-check reports.

The Precast I-Girder Workflow supports the following code-check reports:

• Prestressed I-Girder Code Check

• Pier Cap Code Check

• Pier Column Code Check

• Pier Footing Code Check

• Pile Capacity Code Check

1. Make sure the FEM button in the top-middle of the screen is active — the Analysis button only appears when FEM is on.

   

   The Analysis button typically takes around 20–25 seconds to appear.

2. When the Analysis button appears in the top-left, the FE model has been compiled and is ready to run.

   

   
3. Click Analysis to run the finite element analysis of the precast I-girder bridge.

   

   Analysis for this project typically takes around 2 minutes 20 seconds to complete.

4. When the analysis finishes, click Close to exit the analysis interface.

   
5. Click Design to compute the parametric design parameters and collect the analysis results needed for the reports.

   

   The design run for this project generally takes approximately 7 minutes 20 seconds to complete.

6. When the design run finishes, click OK to start viewing the reports.

   
7. Click Report and Detailed Report in succession to display the available reports.

   
8. Detailed Report opens the full set of design outputs.
