Tom Beam Files

Installation Instructions:

1) Unzip TomBeamDirectory.zip
2) A Parent directory is created called: "TomBeamDirectory".
3) Subdirectories, Execute and Data are also created.
	
The directories and resulting files will resemble the folowing schematic:

TomBeamDirectory
     Data
       AISC Shapes Database v14.1 Comma Delimited.csv
     Execute
       tombeam.exe
       TomBeamUserGuide.pdf
	   TomBeamAppendix.pdf

You can move this directory structure to a location of your choice on your system or computer. "TomBeamDirectory" (the parent directory) can be renamed if you choose but the folders, "Data" and "Execute" need to be so-named and in parallel under the parent folder.
