Cursor in the design window. The design window is divided into four main parts, along with a menu bar at the top.
Fin Plate Connection GUI:

Point toward the Input Dock

On the left side, we see the Input Dock.
Only narration

Cursor in Input Dock.

The Input Dock is used to give user inputs pertaining to the module.
Input Dock:

Click on any drop-down list

Click on any text box

It has a combination of drop-down lists, and text boxes.
Only narration The inputs are validated dynamically based on the codal provisions.
Input Dock:

Point toward Connectivity, Factored Loads, Bolt, and Plate

The Input Dock has user input fields for
  • Connectivity
  • Factored Loads
  • Bolt, and
  • Plate


Cursor on the input fields. These input fields are custom to the Fin Plate Shear Connection module.
Only narration The input fields will change dynamically depending on the module type and category.
Input Dock:

Click on the Reset button

The Reset button at the bottom is used to reset the selected input values to default.
Point toward the Output Dock and CAD window This clears the design outputs and CAD.
Only narration Let us reload the inputs.
Fin Plate Connection GUI:

Click on File>> Load input

Go to the File menu and select Load input.
Open Design Window:

Browse to the Code file directory

Browse to the Code file directory.
Open Design Window:

Select the FinPlate_sample_design.osi file and click on Open

Select FinPlate_sample_design.osi and


Click the Open button.

Input Dock:

Click on the Design button

Click on the Design button.

This button is used to run the design.

Output Dock:

Point toward the Output Dock

On the right side of the window, we can see the Output Dock.
Output Dock:

Point toward the Bolt and Plate output values in the Output Dock

Outputs for a given design are detailed in this Output Dock for interpretation.
Output Dock:

Point toward the Save Output button

At the bottom of the Output Dock, we see the Save Output button.
Point toward the Save Output button. It allows us to save the design outputs in a text file.
Output Dock:

Point toward the Create Design Report button

Above the Save Output button, we see the Create Design Report button.
Point toward the Create Design Report button It allows us to export the design report as PDF.
Only narration We will learn how to create and interpret design reports in another tutorial.
Graphics window:

Point toward the Graphics window

The window at the centre is the 3D Graphics window.
Graphics window:

Rotate the 3D model in the Graphics window

The Graphics window displays the 3D CAD model of the module for visualisation.
Cursor near 3D CAD model. The 3D CAD model is displayed if and only if the design is safe.
Only narration We will learn to handle the 3D CAD model in another tutorial.
Message window:

Point toward the Log message window

Log messages pertaining to a design session are displayed in the Log message window.
Message window:

Highlight the log message

It displays colour-coded messages in the form of ERRORS, WARNINGS and INFO.
log Message window. It also gives suggestions to arrive at a safe design to a novice user.
Only narration We will see how to use these logs to rectify unsafe designs in another tutorial.
