The default directory of LEAP Bridge is "C:\Program Files\Bentley\LEAP Bridge Concrete \", if the user has not changed the location during installation. The tutorials are installed in the Example directory within LEAP Bridge folder. Help directory within LEAP bridge folder contains all the necessary help files for individual components. Lib folder contains the default library files for rebars, tendons, cross sections. It is recommended not to delete the default library files.
