Updating Piece Schedules During Option Testing/Solving

The schedules of floor joists and other profiles will be refreshed during option testing/solving, when the following definition has been set up for the schedule in question in the BDSXX keyword group:

• pce_schedule= OPT.UPDATE ON

In addition, updating of piece schedules is controlled with the keyword upd_piece_schedules_during_testing in the BDSXX keyword group. The keyword can have the following values:

• upd_piece_schedules_during_testing = 1:

  Default value (also when the keyword has not been set). Piece schedules that have the OPT.UPDATE ON definition will be updated during option testing/solving.

• upd_piece_schedules_during_testing = 0:

  The program prompts the user whether to update the piece schedules that have the OPT.UPDATE ON definition.

• upd_piece_schedules_during_testing = -1:

  The piece schedules will not be updated and no confirmation will be asked from the user.
