The beam functionality is quite nice in COSMOSWorks 2008. For example, you can tell the software which beams to connect at end points directly, using a RMC (right mouse click) procedure that is not well-documented. In the image, you can see a purple-colored ball close to where the red arrow is located. If you RMC on it, in turn a small panel will post (as shown) to indictate the beams that will be connected at that location.
You can add more beams to that joint just by selecting them, and remove beams by selecting them again. There is no "ok" button, however. Just close the panel and click on the "calculate" button in the Joint definition dialog. Very handy!

Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo
News? I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Appreciate it
