After the splice plates have been modeled in LEAP Steel, will the user have to define the physical dead loads from the weight of the designed splice plates, or is the weight of the splice plate included in the Initial - Self Weight Steel?
Automatically generated loads consist of steel self-weight (main member, cross frames, stiffeners). Field Splice weight is not considered in the Steel self-weight. You will need to add a new Dead Load and add it as point loads.
