00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:09,450

welcome to the cortex learning blog this

2
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:13,110
is tutorial number 3 of 9 for c2 to

3
00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:18,420
input basics we're going to cover screen

4
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:20,369
navigation what we want to do is briefly

5
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:24,300
show you the graphics area and sieve it

6
00:00:20,369 --> 00:00:26,849
to where the input areas are and how to

7
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:33,210
tear the input pages to position them

8
00:00:26,849 --> 00:00:36,750
for personal preference so here is the

9
00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:39,890
basic input screen on the right-hand

10
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:42,120
side we'll have the graphics area and

11
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:44,160
Caeser - we'll build the model and

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:48,030
graphically in this area as we input

13
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,919
data into the left-hand side where the

14
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:54,960
engineering information is going are

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:58,590
going to be input we can tear this
16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,870
engineering input spreadsheet off from

17
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:05,090
the side we can park it any way we like

18
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:08,090
on any particular side you can grab it

19
00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:12,210
reduce it down and whenever we touch a

20
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:16,400
side it will stick and expand out to

21
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:19,949
fill the pace space so we can also

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,040
reduce it to minimize it and show the

23
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:29,180
maximum graphics area possible we can

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,180
expand it again and we can pin it back

25
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:39,509
we can also detach different parts of

26
00:01:37,619 --> 00:01:44,250
the input screen for example node

27
00:01:39,509 --> 00:01:46,920
numbers lengths Delta lengths so we can

28
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:50,040
have those as separate little boxes out

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:53,850
in our working area we can put all these

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:57,049
different values as we go through again

31
00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:57,048
it's a matter of personal preference

32
00:01:57,979 --> 00:02:02,610
this lower part of the screen is

33
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:05,158
basically for information that can be

34
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:07,890
propagated from one element to another

35
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:10,890
so diameters for example propagate from

36
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:12,250
one element to the next likewise

37
00:02:10,889 --> 00:02:13,959
temperatures

38
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:16,690
we have up to nine different

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,090
temperatures that we can assign to

40
00:02:16,690 --> 00:02:22,870
different parts of the model and nine

41
00:02:19,090 --> 00:02:25,090
pressures plus a hydro pressure we can

42
00:02:22,870 --> 00:02:29,770
choose to propagate those or not

43
00:02:25,090 --> 00:02:32,260
propagate them if we wish materials are

44
00:02:29,770 --> 00:02:34,560
available from a drop-down menu you can

45
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:38,049
configure to create your own main

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,380
materials if you like on the top right

47
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:43,890
hand corner we have auxiliary data for

48
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:48,269
things like restraints expansion joints

49
00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:48,269
equipment limits and all sorts of things

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,490
next I'd like to show you where menu

51
00:02:57,130 --> 00:03:03,700
items are just a few edit and plot tools

52
00:02:59,490 --> 00:03:11,170
how to move around and perhaps a few

53
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:14,079
shortcuts okay so up in the scattered

54
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:17,140
around the periphery of the system we

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,709
have menus the top right hand corner we

56
00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:24,070
have the traditional menu items that

57
00:03:20,709 --> 00:03:27,010
you'll be used to in most software all

58
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:30,780
of these menu items are available from

59
00:03:27,010 --> 00:03:34,209
icons around the around the screen and
60
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:39,690
each particular command has its own

61
00:03:34,209 --> 00:03:42,910
separate icon you can save cut and paste

62
00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:45,970
you can archive insert elements all

63
00:03:42,910 --> 00:03:49,209
those sort of things are available you

64
00:03:45,970 --> 00:03:54,269
can attach these icons and park them

65
00:03:49,209 --> 00:03:57,250
anywhere you feel comfortable with and

66
00:03:54,269 --> 00:03:59,500
put them back when you finish if you

67
00:03:57,250 --> 00:04:02,860
want to one of the most important things

68
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:05,530
I think is the navigation tools we can

69
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:08,530
go from pre to previous elements next

70
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:10,690
element and last element in the series

71
00:04:08,530 --> 00:04:14,049
probably the most important one here is

72
00:04:10,690 --> 00:04:15,850
continue which basically adds a new

73
00:04:14,049 --> 00:04:17,500
element a blank element to the end of

74
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:20,168
the input and allows you to put in the
75
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:23,130
data and of course we can duplicate the

76
00:04:20,168 --> 00:04:23,130
last element as well

77
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:36,669

78
00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:39,159
