			Tips&Tricks: Calculator for small calculations
			When putting loads on a structure, it can happen that a small calculation is required. For example: a wind load of 1,5 kN/m² which works on the side of a shed, in which the frame distance is 3m, results in a line load of 4,5 kN/m on the columns. Instead of having to use a calculator, SCIA.ESA PT allows the equation itself to be inputted. To do this, the equation must be typed in the value field of the load and must be preceded by ‘=’. This handy feature allows for a quick calculation of small equations and can be used as a substitute for a calculator or as a check on mental arithmetic.
