PGSuper™ has the look and feel of your "typical" Windows program. Anybody that has used any of the Microsoft products will be immediately familiar with the general layout of the interface.

At the top of the main window is the menu. The menu is organized into seven categories:

 

File – Includes file manipulation functionality such as new, save, save-as and a send feature that allows the user to forward a PGSuper file via email.

Project – Includes project specific data such as the bridge layout, girder and material type, units, and design criteria.

Loads – Access to one dialog box for inputting the load modifiers for ductility, redundancy and importance.

Library – Includes access to PGSuper's libraries and functions to manipulate the libraries.

View – Includes all the "views" of the user's input and results. The "views" included are bridge model, girder view, results and reports, and a girder stability view.

Windows – Includes all the typical Windows items such as cascade, and tile Windows.

Help – Includes the help, tip-of-day, license agreement, and a direct internet link to the PGSuper online resources.
