• Settings - sets the output parameters. Refer to Settings for further information;

• Analysis Information Input - a set of analysis information creation functions used to create loads for output and to assign Member Releases; Refer to Analysis Information for further information;

• Model Extraction - used to select the structure for output, including a set of Engineer Checks designated for use by the Structural Engineer to check for suitability of the model for output based on the Engineer's perspective. Refer to Engineer Check for further information;

• Other Features - provides additional tools to simplify additional tasks required for the structural analysis of the model. Refer to Other Features for further information.
