General
The steel frame design overwrites are basic assignments that apply only to
those elements to which they are assigned. This Technical Note describes
steel frame design overwrites for UBC97-ASD. To access the overwrites, select
an element and click the Design menu > Steel Frame Design >
View/Revise Overwrites command.
Default values are provided for all overwrite items. Thus, you do not need to
specify or change any of the overwrites. However, at least review the default
values for the overwrite items to make sure they are acceptable. When
changes are made to overwrite items, the program applies the changes only
to the elements to which they are specifically assigned; that is, to the elements
that are selected when the overwrites are changed.
Overwrites
For explanation purposes in this Technical Note, the overwrites are presented
in Table 1. The column headings in the table are described as follows.
Item: The name of the overwrite item as it appears in the program. To
save space in the forms, these names are generally short.
Possible Values: The possible values that the associated overwrite item
can have.
Default Value: The default value that the program assumes for the associated
overwrite item. If the default value is given in the table with an associated
note "Program Calculated," the value is shown by the program before
the design is performed. After design, the values are calculated by the program
and the default is modified by the program-calculated value.
