Conspan Flared Girder

Question

Is there a tutorial or further information on how to use the "Flared Girder" option in Conspan? I am using version 14 and have entered the spacing between beams along the support but when the spacing is shown in the bridge section, the beam spacing is not correct.

Hi Rob, 
 For Flared Girder geometry, first you need to toggle ON the Flared Girder option in the Project Tab:

Then go to the Geometry tab and click on "Cross Section..."

The Cross Section Layout dialog box allows you to define the curb data, lane data, topping thickness and most importantly the layout of the girders. 
 Beam numbering is based on looking upstation, and Beam 1 being referenced as the extreme left-hand-side girder with all other beams following sequentially in each span. The Distance from previous beam at start or end of each span is always measured along the pier length (accounting for any skew). For the first beam in each span, this distance is measured from the pier cap edge (to account for cases where the pier cap length may not be the same as deck width, etc.).

The attached image should explain the Deck Offset and Deck Width along with other terms:
