Hi, Dear All,
How do we model a transition/stepped bent in OpenBridge Modeler?
Say a bent is between a steel girder span and the pcc girder span. The girder depths are different in adjacent spans here. How do we model the stepped bent cap in OpenBridge Modeler?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Dong
Hi Dong, you can create one custom pier by using functional components. Please, look at the below link:

Regarding the default pier templates available and for now, you can try to change the bottom bearing seats dimensions, if you consider it acceptable.
