Civil Labeler Masked Background

David Marion — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 14:45:59 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to create a background mask behind field text using the Civil Labeler?

Even with an appropriate text style with a background, the background does not apply to field text.

In fact it doesn't apply to field text in standard Microstation cel either.

What would be the appropriate way to apply a background mask to a field text?

Thank you very much.

Lane Load Details Window Worst Roadway

Alex Spieler — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 13:35:33 GMT

I am using a floating lane layout on a simple span 5 steel girder bridge.

Once I run the analysis I want to verify that all Roadways are being considered.

I am using the "Lane Load Details" window to check this. However, when selecting the "Mz positive" Influence Surface Group, it shows that Roadway 1 is the worst Roadway for all of my girders. I am finding this confusing as I was expecting different roadways to cause the maximum moments in different beams. Namely, how are both exterior girders seeing the maximum moment from the same Roadway: Roadway 1 which is a truck shifted all the way to one side of the bridge (as seen in the images below)?

Does LBS check wind Loading during Construction stages?

Tewodros Wolde — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 20:52:36 GMT

I am just wondering if LBS checks wind loading during construction stages per AASHTO "Guide Specification For Wind Loads On Bridges During Construction" 1st edition, 2017.

If not what will be the work around to include the wind loads for construction in the model?

Thank you,

LEAP Steel - support vertical displacement

Rohan Naik — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 17:03:06 GMT

I have a quick question regarding LEAP steel in the open bridge designer suite.

Do you know If I can see the change in reactions at other supports due to the vertical displacement of one support? Do you think I can simulate that in LEAP Steel?

(This condition is just in the presence of a Dead load and no Live loads)
