Slide: Title Slide	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Handling unsafe designs in Osdag.
Slide: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn how to, Interpret the log messages in Osdag Read ERROR, WARNING and INFO messages, and Rectify an unsafe design using log messages.
Slide: System Requirements	To record this tutorial, I am using, Windows 11 OS, and Osdag v2021.02.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.
Point to the home page of the Tension Member Design >> Select Bolted to End Gusset module	Let us switch to the home page of Tension Member Design. Select Bolted to End Gusset module.
Point toward the Input Dock fields	I have loaded the Logs underscore sample underscore design dot OSI file.
Only narration	Please pause the tutorial and load the input file.
Click on the Design button.	Click on the Design button below to perform the design.
Only narration	Osdag carries out the design.
Point toward the CAD window	Note that the CAD window is inactive.
Point toward the Output Dock	The Output Dock is not populated with the output values.
Only narration	This is because the design is complete but unsafe.
Point to the Output Dock.	Let us disable the Output Dock to maximise the log message window.
Click on the close Output Dock button	Click on the close button at the top right corner of the Output Dock.
Point toward the Log messages	We see the colour-coded log messages pertaining to the design.
Highlight the timestamp in the log messages	The log messages are marked with a timestamp for the reference of the users.
Highlight ERROR message	The ERROR message is marked in red and indicates the status of the design. In this case, the Design is unsafe.
Only narration	Let us rectify the design using the log messages and arrive at a safe design solution.
Point to the message in blue colour.	The WARNING messages are marked in blue colour.
Highlight the WARNING message.	The WARNING message gives a warning pertaining to a specific design check.
Highlight the WARNING message	The WARNING message reads, that the tension force exceeds the tension capacity.
Point to the message.	This means that the force exceeds the member capacity in tension.
Point to the message.	The INFO messages are marked in green colour.
Highlight the first INFO message	The INFO message gives suggestions to rectify the unsafe design.
Highlight the last INFO message	It also suggests where the design check or a trial design has ended.
Highlight the first INFO message	The INFO message reads, ‘Define member(s) with a higher cross sectional area’.
Highlight 80 x 80 x 8 in the message.	This means we have to define a section with an area greater than 80 x 80 x 8.
Only narration	Let us define a new section.
Click on the Section Size drop-down menu	Click on the Section Size drop-down menu and select Customized.
Double-click on 80 x 80 x 8 in the Selected list	Double-click on 80 x 80 x 8 in the Selected list to deselect the section.
Scroll down in the Available list and double click on 90 x 90 x 8.	Now, scroll down in the Available list. Find 90 x 90 x 8 and double-click on it to select the section.
Click on the Submit button.	Click on the Submit button below to confirm and exit.
Click on the Design button	Then, click on the Design button below to perform the design.
Point to the messages.	We see ERROR and WARNING messages again, as the design is still unsafe.
Highlight the WARNING message	The WARNING message reads, that the tension force exceeds the tension capacity.
Point to the messages.	Here, the section area is satisfied but the plate thickness is less.
Only narration	Let us define a thicker gusset plate.
Click on the Thickness drop-down menu	Click on the Thickness drop-down menu and select Customized.
Double-click on 12 in the Selected list	Double-click on 12 in the Selected list to deselect the plate.
From the Available list double-click on 16	Now, from the Available list double-click on 16 to select the plate.
Click on the Submit button.	Click on the Submit button below to confirm and exit.
Click on the Design button.	Again, click on Design button below to perform the design.
Only narration	Osdag carries out the design.
Highlight the fourth INFO message	The INFO message reads, ‘Overall bolted tension member design is safe’.
Only narration	This means that the design is complete and successful.
Highlight the third INFO message	If there is scope to optimize the design, Osdag will display additional INFO messages.
Only narration	But, this does not mean that the design is unsafe.
Only narration	Optimum design can be achieved by defining more inputs for the section, connectors, etc.
Only narration	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise.
Slide: Summary	In this tutorial, we have, Interpreted the log messages Read ERROR, WARNING and INFO messages Rectified an unsafe design using log messages
Slide: Assignment	As an assignment, do the following, For the same design example Read the INFO messages, and Optimize the design solution by referring the suggestions in the INFO messages
