Part 1 - Structural modeling

In windows file explorer, Create “Training Project” directory, and create “Structural
Modeling” subdirectory.

In SACS executive, use “Settings” > “SACS System Configuration”, make sure default units
set to “Metric KN Force”.

Set current working directory to “Structural Modeling” and launch Precede program and using
following data,
