OBM to LEAP Concrete

When working in OBD we have two workflows:

• BIM Workflow and
• Standalone Workflow

If you are seeing not seeing the typical LEAP Concrete this means that you are in BIM Workflow.

Please see below link to read more about the new interface:

I have watched that video before and I understand the 2 different workflows.  However, if I don't have the typical LEAP analysis software, how do I revised the bridge design?  Does all of the design changes take place in OBM an I have to transfer to LEAP each time?

• User starts BIM Workflow by creating a project and associating a OBM design file to the model.  You can add the design file by either:
  • Clicking on the Bridge Wizard and creating a new file, or
  • Using the "Browse" button in the modeling tab and selecting the OBM design file, or
  • By launching OBM and opening an existing OBM design file within OBM, or creating a new file.
• At this stage the Modeling tab is enabled, however Analysis tab is locked
• The Analysis tab gets unlocked once you use the "Send To" button under Utilities tab to send the model to any of the analytical products.  Once the model is sent to appropriate component and the file is saved the Analytics tab will get enabled:

• Once the connection is established between OBM model and analytical component file:
  • Data exchange is unidirectional from OBM to analytics (with the exception of reinforcement data can be sent from analytics to OBM)
  • Any geometrical or physical modification made in the OBM model will get reflected in the analytical component when OBM file is closed in real time.  If the user opens the analytical component the changes made in OBM are there in the model.
  • If you continue to work in the OBM file you can push the updates to the analytical model by clicking on "Update Analytics"
