Returns

DesignApproaches: Mapping of name -> DesignApproach; each factor is a read/write property that talks to the running application.

Examples

project.design_approach['ULS'].gamma_unfavorable_dead_load = 1.1
project.design_approach['SLS'].gamma_favorable_user2_load
1.0
project.design_approach['ULS'].update(gamma_c=1.25, gamma_phi=1.25)
project.design_approach['User 1'].gamma_cu = 1.4    # also 'user1'
