Can we model open joint in pier cap using openbridge? If not, what would be the ideal solution to resolve this issue? See image below-

Hello there. In OpenBridge CE-Version 10.11,the following item is attached with the beam. However,after placing bearing，the beam item attached is missing. This problem will not happen in lower version software. Can it be fixed? Thanks.

In Leap Bridge Steel, I have a curved bridge, so the girder lengths are not integer values. Under the Member Definition tab I'm unable to manually input flange plate lengths to a sufficient decimal in order to be able to run analysis (see below for the…

I refined the pier cap for the hammerhead on the right using solids modifying tools, and kept the one on the left as unmodified. When I go into Explorer and turn off all supports, the modified cap stays visible, while the column and foundation connected…

I have an OBM model built in a separate 3D file (File A). I referenced that dgn into a new dgn (File B) to create multiple drawing and sheet models. I have created mutliple 'drawing' models within File B with no problems. However, for the past few days…

I'm creating a 15 span prestressed girder bridge in OpenBridge Modeler. I need to add a neoprene strip seal joint every 3 spans or so. Can I modify the continuous deck object to add these components? Alternatively, splitting the deck object into multiple…

Hi, I would like to know how to move the strands inward. I have not found a way to move the strands horizontally. I know how to do it vertically, but not horizontally. The strands in the 2nd and 3rd row need to be moved to the center. Thanks…

Hi, In the article below it mentions that the issue where "Distance from top of concrete deck to the neutral axis of the composite section at the plastic moment was incorrectly calculated." is fixed. However, I'm still running into this problem when…

I'm attempting to use the Variable Constraint window to make the shape of a barrier rail vary along the length of a single span. I made a template for the barrier rail, where I defined all of the constraints I would need to adjust: I placed the barrier…

I would like to place barrier rail off the deck and on a wingwall. The program wants me to put the rail on the deck. I cannot horizontally offset the rail off the deck either. Best I can do is have the rail at the edge of the deck (Approach Slab) but…

Hi, I have seen some video which shows that Itemtype is attached to elements which can report a lot of element property within OpenBridge, by reading the wiki on this page I gathered itemtype information cannot be transferred to itwins, however, I…

There appears to be an issue with the use of Variable Constraints for barriers on a skewed bridge. We use variable constraints to add slopes and varying heights to our approach barriers. The variable constraints appear to measure from the control…

Hello, Is it possible to change the category in which the program evaluates load induced fatigue at the cross-braces (LRFD T6.6.1.2.3-1)? I see in the fatigue reports that the program is currently evaluating fatigue at the braces under C' for both welded…
