# Steel Design Results

How to view steel design results, update member sections, and review detailed member calculations.

Steel Design > Steel Design Results allows you to view the steel design results.

It also allows you to update member sections.

The section column in the screen capture above includes a list box that contains the member original section (first entry in the list box) and designed section candidates (second or more entries in the list box). You can change the member sections by picking the proper section candidates. Please be advised you need to re-analyze and design after one or more member sections are updated.

In addition, you can add all the section candidates to Section Pool, which can be used in the next round of design.

Finally, you can view the detailed calculation procedure for each member for the most critical load condition.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-user-manual/interface/toc175916526/steel-design2/design-results.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
