Currently working on a two-span curved steel girder bridge using a hammerhead pier, but every time I change the maximum height of the pier cap, to something other than 5ft, the next time the model is opened that max pier cap height always reverts back to 5ft. All other changes to the model is saved and uploaded upon opening. I have even tried creating completely new bridge models to troubleshoot the pier cap height, but the results are the same. The pier cap always returns to 5ft.
Is this a common occurrence, or is this a more localized issue, and are there any solutions?
Thanks,
I tested this issue in the current release version V16.02.00.02 and I used Tutorial 2 example .
I changed the Drop cap Pier 1 to Hammer Head pier and the Max and Min height of pier cap was 5ft and 2.5ft respectively.
I changed the Max and Min height of pier cap to 4ft and 2ft respectively.
Then I ran the analysis and saved the file and then I reopened the file and the program had not retained the Pier cap height values.
I shall further test this issue and will let you know my findings.
Please see the attached screenshots.
