Calculation Overview

The Calculation Overview dialog box displays the results of the latest calculation or system check. It opens as the result of calculation and system check commands, but it can also be displayed at any time.

To view the calculation overview:

1. Select Braceworks > Calculation Overview.

2. The Calculation Overview dialog box opens.

►    Cliquez pour afficher/masquer les champs.

Parameter	Description
Feedback	The status indicator allows you to see at a glance whether the system meets safe compliance limits. Green indicates there are no errors or overloaded supports/cross sections, yellow indicates caution as safe limits are being approached, and red means there are critical problems or overload conditions. If the indicator is blank, the information is insufficient. Beneath the indicator, the system status is described as unsolvable (with errors preventing calculation), solvable, or it does not have any data. The system must be considered solvable, with no critical errors, for calculations to occur. A solvable system may still have serious errors that must be addressed; for example, a hoist or cross section could be dangerously overloaded, as evidenced by the solvable calculation.
Calculation Time	Displays the amount of time, in seconds, that it took for calculations to complete
Workload Support	Summarizes the workload percentage upon supports (hoists) in the system
Workload Cross Section	Summarizes the workload percentage upon cross sections in the system
Information
Errors and Warnings	Click this tab to view issues in the drawing; each issue corresponds to a label placed in the drawing
Filter	Filters the list of issues by type; select All to see all of the issues
Type	Icons indicate the type of issue. Double-click on a row to select and center the associated label in the drawing ●     Information: General issue that will not cause problems with calculations ●     Warning: Issue that should be resolved, since it could affect calculations ●     Danger: Critical issue that prevents calculations from proceeding, or prevents calculations from being useful
Category/ Description/ ID	Indicates the type of structural element with an issue, describes the issue, and displays the issue’s unique identifier
Export	Automatically sends the error data to a Calculation Overview - Errors worksheet; if one already exists, the worksheet name is automatically incremented
Cross Section Workload	Click this tab to view the workload status for cross sections
Filter	Filters the list of issues by type; select All to see all of the issues
Status	Icons indicate the status of the cross section workloads. Double-click on a row to select and center the associated cross section in the drawing ●     Information: General issue that will not cause problems with calculations ●     Warning: Cross section is nearing its threshold ●     Danger: Cross section is over its threshold ●     Pass: No issues
Cross Section	Identifies the cross section
Value/ Max/ %	Displays the workload applied to each cross section, the maximum defined deflection limit, and the percentage of the workload. The total workload is summarized in Workload Cross Section on the left of the dialog box.
Export	Automatically sends the data to a Calculation Overview - Cross Section workload worksheet; if one already exists, the worksheet name is automatically incremented
Hoist Workload	Click this tab to view the workload status for hoists
Filter	Filters the list of issues by type; select All to see all of the issues
Status	Icons indicate the status of the hoist workloads. Double-click on a row to select and center the associated hoist in the drawing ●     Information: General issue that will not cause problems with calculations ●     Warning: Hoist is nearing its threshold ●     Danger: Hoist is over its threshold ●     Pass: No issues
ID	Identifies the hoist
Type	Indicates the type of hoist
Value/ Max/ %	Displays the workload applied to each hoist, the maximum defined limit, and the percentage of the workload. The total workload is summarized in Workload Support on the left of the dialog box.
Export	Automatically sends the data to a Calculation Overview - Hoist workloads worksheet; if one already exists, the worksheet name is automatically incremented
Analyses	Click this tab to view detailed information about the most recent calculation
Hoists	Displays the minimum, average, and maximum hoist workload
Cross Sections	Lists the status and maximum workload for each cross section in the calculation
System	Displays information about the structural systems used in the calculations, with the total number of various rigging elements
