Hi, I'm modelling a conceptual bridge which will be standing on floating pontoons tethered to the sea bed. The tethers I created using a pier template, utilising a steel column as my tether. This is elevation constrained to the pontoon and the terrain dtm file. I notice however that because the depth is greater than 500m the column won't create, just the cap and footing. Is there a configuration I can change so the threshold is greater than 500m?
Kind regards,
Matt
Matt, I was able to create a 4500 m pile length. I don't remember any specific limit being specified for this. I would suspect something is amiss on the Solids Area. Please verify design file settings > Working units > Solids Area. Default OBM seed files show an area of 10 KM.
Sri, you are correct to check the design file settings. I was using the metric 3d design seed file which has a 1km solid area setting. The OBM-seed3d-metric seed has a 10km solid area and solves the issue.
