How model GP Prestressed Composite Truss Girder-PCT ?

Question

How does model crossection , Deck slab conection with web pipe ? Has RM Bridge v8i element truss?

Diether · Answer

Trusses can be modeled very easily using "Link Segments" in GP/Modeler. 
 I attach an example of a truss bridge that shows the princple functionality. 
 Of course these principles can easily be combined with your composite section. You just need to set up the cross-section using different "parts" for top and bottom slab and connect them by the link segments for the pipes.
