I'm using the built-in workflow for creating substructure drawings as seen here. When I click on the pier the automatic section plane is shown at an angle, not parallel to the Support Line. The angle appears to be random, not associated with global coordinates…

I have a multi-span structure with 3 very similar piers with variable pier caps. In the ABC bridge wizard I defined a generic rectangular cap pier since it did not have the variable depth option in the wizard. I have now redefined one of the piers with…

Is there a way to place two bearing pads per beam location as shown below?

Wondering if there is a way to model a curved or bent (broken-back) support line in OpenBridge Modeler? Thanks, Alicia

I would like to use a one-way workflow, to send only geometric data from OBM to LEAP Bridge Concrete for use in designing the Substructures. I can get the data from OBM to import into LEAP initially, but any geometric changes I make to the pier caps within…

I would like to analyze a steel stringer bridge that has a transverse nail laminated wood deck. Am I able to import this wood into the Material Library in any way?

I would like to use CSA S6:19 as the design spec for my steel bridge design in LEAP Bridge Steel. Am I able to do this? I would prefer to use SCA S6:19 over AASHTO spec.

I am pretty new to using Leap Bridge Steel, and have a question regarding a project I am working on. I have attached a general framing plan, and was wondering if Leap Bridge Steel was capable of modeling it, mainly due to the partial length girders. The…

I created a bridge in OBM that is associated with a placeholder "Alignment A", which I created in my OBM model. Roadway has since provided me an official "Alignment B" for the project which I have referenced into my OBM file. Is there a way to associate…

I modeled a 4-span bridge as a single unit but now I need to update the model to add a unit so that each unit is 2 spans. Is there a way this can be done without revising the entire model?

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…

Hello. I'm wondering how LEAP Version 21.01.00.22 calculates the maximum axial load displayed in the diagram. The diagram displays a maximum axial force allowed of 1802 kips. As expected the 1802 kips doesn't change regardless of the load combination…

Does RC Pier check shear friction in the pier cap (AASHTO 5.7.4)? I've looked in the output reports and didn't see reference to this spec section. I've also looked in the application help interface and couldn't find it. Note: my application version…
