Slide: Title Slide	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on ‘Save and Import Input Values in Osdag’.
Slide: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn how to, Save input values in Osdag Import OSI file and perform design
Slide: System Requirements	To record this tutorial, I am using, Windows 11 OS, and Osdag version 2021(2021.02.a.a12f)
Slide: Pre-requisites https://spoken-tutorial.org	To follow this tutorial you should have, Osdag installed on your system Basic knowledge of structural steel design The prerequisite tutorials are available on this website
Only narration	The user interface of Osdag for Ubuntu Linux, and for Windows is the same. Annotations are added to the tutorial if there are any differences.
Only narration	Let us perform a sample design and understand how to Save and Import inputs.
Slide: Sample Design Example	Design a Tension Member with a bolted end connection The member carries a factored axial force of 600 kN. Perform a design check by adopting the given design specifications:
Slide: Sample Design Example	Section: Profile: Star Angles Connection Location: Long Leg Section Size: 80 x 80 x 8 Material Grade: E 250(Fe 410 W)A Length: 3200 mm
Slide: Sample Design example	End Connection: Connector:  Type: Bolted Diameter: 16 Bolt Type: Friction Grip Bolt Grade: 8.8 Gusset Plate: Thickness: 12 mm
Point to the home page of the Tension Member Design - Bolted to End Gusset module	Switch to the home page of the Tension Member Design - Bolted to End Gusset module.
Cursor in the Input Dock.	Let us start filling the inputs for our sample design example.
Cursor on different members.	We need to specify the member details first.
Click on the Section Profile drop-down menu and select the Star Angles option.	Click on the Section Profile drop-down menu. Select Star Angles from the list.
Click on the Conn_Location drop-down menu, and select Long Leg.	Click on the Conn_Location drop-down menu and select Long Leg.
Click on the Section Size drop-down menu, and select Customized.	Click on the Section Size drop-down menu and select Customized.
Click on the << button	Click on the fourth button to unselect all the sections at once.
Point toward the Available list	Now, we have to select 80 x 80 x 8 from the Available list of sections.
Scroll down in the Available list and double click on 80 x 80 x 8	Scroll down in the Available list and search for 80 x 80 x 8. Double click on 80 x 80 x 8 to select it.
Click Submit	Click on the Submit button below to save and exit the Customized window.
Click on the Material drop-down menu and select E 250 (Fe 410 W)A.	Now, click on the Material drop-down menu and select E 250 (Fe 410 W)A.
Type 3200 in the Length textbox	Specify the length of the member as 3200 mm.
Only narration	We have defined member details. Let us now proceed with Load and Connector inputs.
Type 600 in the Axial textbox	Enter, factored axial load as 600 kN.
Click on the Diameter drop-down menu and select Customized.	Click on the Diameter drop-down menu and select the Customized option.
Click on the << button	Click on the fourth button to unselect all the diameters at once.
Double click on 16	Now, from the Available list of diameters, double click on 16 to select it.
Click Submit	Click on the Submit button below to save and exit.
Click the Type drop-down menu and select Friction Grip Bolt	From the Type drop-down menu, select Friction Grip Bolt.
Only narration	Let us now specify a corresponding bolt grade.
Click on the Property Class drop-down menu and select Customized	Click on the Property Class drop-down menu and select Customized.
Click the << fourth button. Double click on 8.8	Click on the fourth button to unselect all the diameters at once. From the Available list of grades, double click on 8.8 to select it.
Click Submit	Click on the Submit button below to save and exit.
Click on the Thickness drop-down menu and select Customized	Now, click on the Thickness drop-down menu and select Customized.
Click the << fourth button. Double click on 12	Click on the fourth button to unselect all the diameters at once. From the Available list of plates, double click on 12 to select it.
Click Submit.	Click on the Submit button below to save and exit.
Move the Cursor on all the Input values.	We have now entered the inputs correctly.
Only narration.	Osdag allows the user to save the inputs as an OSI file. The OSI file can be loaded back into Osdag for faster retrieval of inputs.
Only narration	Let us save an OSI file for the given sample design example.
Click on the File menu	Go to the Menu bar in the top left corner and click on the File menu.
Select Save input	From the File menu list, select the Save input option.
Point toward the Save Design window	The Save Design window will open.
Point toward the Osdag_Workspace folder	I have already created a folder named Osdag_Workspace on my Desktop.
Only narration	Users can create a folder with a suitable name according to their convenience.
Double click on the Osdag_workspace folder	I will double click on the Osdag underscore workspace folder to open and select it.
Type Input-sample-design in the File name textbox	Now, let us specify a file name in the File name textbox below. I will edit the file name to Input hyphen sample hyphen design.
Point towards Input-sample-design.OSI	Here we can see that the Input file has an OSI extension.
Only narration	The acronym OSI stands for Osdag Input.
Click on the Save button	Now, click on the Save button to save the OSI file and exit the Save Design window
Only narration	We can use this saved OSI file to retrieve the inputs and perform the design. It can also be shared amongst peers for checking the design.
Only narration	Let us now try to load the same OSI file and perform a design check.
Click on the Reset button	Reset all the inputs to default by clicking the Reset button below the Input Dock.
Point toward the Input Dock fields	We see the inputs are now set to their default values.
Click on the File menu	Go to the Menu bar and click on the File menu.
Select Load input	From the File menu list, select the Load input option.
Point toward the Open Design window	The Open Design window will open.
Point toward the Osdag_workspace folder	I have saved the OSI file in the Osdag underscore workspace folder.
Double click on the Osdag_workspace folder and click on Input-sample-design.OSI file	Open the Osdag underscore workspace folder and select Input hyphen sample hyphen design.OSI file.
Click on the Open button	Now, click on the Open button below to load the OSI file.
Point toward the Input Dock fields	We see that the inputs are loaded automatically to the Input Dock.
Cursor on all the input dock fields.	Users do not have to define the inputs one by one.
Only narration	We are now ready to run the design.
Click on the Design button	Click on the Design button below the Input Dock.
Point toward the Log messages	We see the log messages in the log message window. The status of the design is Unsafe.
Only narration	We will see how to rectify unsafe design in the next tutorial.
Only narration	This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
Slide: Summary	In this tutorial, we have Saved input values Imported OSI file and performed design
Slide: Assignment	As an assignment, do the following Open Welded to End Gusset module of the Tension Member module Give your inputs Save the OSI file
Slide: Assignment	Check if the design is safe or unsafe
