And add further detail such as PT anchorage blisters, PT deviator blocks and shear keys?

Their positions, dimensions, etc. can be easily changed from OBM.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/659499?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 08 Jul 2021 09:17:29 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:202f6b2f-0d74-4fd1-a6ff-05bfed961666Vlad Grigoras<p>Hi,</p> <p>Currently, there is no straightforward option to place diaphragms for the segmental bridges.</p> <p>You can:</p> <p>- model the bridge as an advanced deck bridge type, but in this case, you are missing all the information related to segmental bridges (reports, specific drawings, etc.)</p> <p>- model the bridge as a segmental bridge and then using MS tools add the diaphragms as smart solids; in this case, for diaphragms, you will need to extract the quantities and other information using item types or other tools from MS.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
