22. A method for using a computer to determine an appropriate repair procedure for repairing a damaged structure comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of interactive panels on a processor-user interface, at least one of said interactive panels including at least one data entry field;
receiving input data entered into said data entry field using said processor-user interface;
applying a set of damage class determination rules, stored in a database of said computer, to said input data, thereby determining a class of damage to said structure; and
determining an appropriate repair procedure based on said input data, said damage class and previous repair data, said appropriate repair procedure describing how to perform a specific repair to said structure based on said damage class determination. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
