Error re-opening file LEAP Bridge Superstructure

Rita Kalo — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 21:27:08 GMT

Hello,

I need to run a flared girder analysis with two different beam types on the same span. I have been able to do this for a while without any issues, but now any new model I make with different beam types will give me an error when I re-open it, and all data and settings I entered into the model are cleared. Any idea how to fix this? I am using V19.02.00.33 due to project requirements, so I can't upgrade to a newer version to fix the problem. I've been able to recreate this issue multiple times, and a colleague had the same issue when trying to open the file.

Conspan: Hold down force calculation

Donn Digamon — Mon, 04 Jan 2016 23:06:43 GMT

Trying to verifying the hold down force calculation in conspan. Using following formula for verification:

HDF = 1.05 x # of draped strands x 0.8 x strand strength x strand area x (draped strand rise at end of beam / distance from end of beam to hold down point).
