Program Limitations

This demo is a working program but certain deliberate limitations have been added. These include:

Permanent Shape Database Modification Not Supported: The complete AISC library of shapes is available, and you can add new shapes for one session, but you cannot save any non-standard or custom shapes to the database file.

Model Size: The largest model that can be saved to disk is limited to 20 Joints, 20 Members, 20 Plates. The full version allows you to save files up to the full program limits of 1000 nodes, 1000 members, and 1000 plates.
