    It might be - I don't remember for sure.

    Same in TJ-Beam. They also tell you where it fails so you can make corrective design changes.

    When you get a different answer - that is a learning opportunity. Most important, find out what loads the engineer used, and why. If you have a good engineer, he/she will be willing to spend 5 minutes to review their results with you, show you the loads used, where they came from and provide you a copy of their analysis report. If he/she doesn't document their work - get a different engineer!

    You have until you release the drawing to get it right, Mother Nature and the Customer have forever to see if you did. (By me, 1971. )

    For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. Last sentence in the Feynman Appendix to the Challenger Report by R. Feynman

    Never allow those who would substitute intimidation and guilt trips for knowledge and reason to influence your technical judgement. Me, 1993.
