Abstract:
A program has recently been developed that streamlines lifting and bracing design of wall panels while eliminating the process of manually entering the data that defines the geometry of each panel. Data entry is automated by importing information from an AutoCAD® DWG or DXF file. The software can be used by structural engineers designing panels and also by drafters producing detailed shop drawings.
