Ofcourse.
We Engineer's still believe in hand calculations rather than depending on the design softwares available in market today.
For complex Structures definitely one has to be thorough in the design software & has to be dependent on the output results. Well cross checking of sections design with hand calculation is preferable.
That depends on the type of structure. If the section is more likely to the previous ones, then the design will almost the same inspite only few variations will be there. But each section designs varies accordingly.
I agree with Gentlemen answers
