Hi everybody! I started working with OpenBridge Designer few weeks ago. I am still getting to know the software but I realised I need some guiding in producinig drawings. I finished modelling a segmental bridge without reinforcment, and I'm not very…

I made a video of how I used OBM to optimize span layouts, check vertical clearances, check clash detections, etc during the pursuit phase of a project. Being able to do these things in OBM led to us winning the project so I thought it would be worth…

I have a concrete deck, the deck is curved and slopes in two different directions. When using ProConcrete Signle RebarSet I am defining the curved sloped outline for the bars but the bars are not following the cross slope of the shape, see image attached…

Dear All, I am trying to perform QAQC for a substructure-only model and have a couple questions. (LEAP Bridge Concrete stand-alone program) Checking Live Load Generation: Where can I find the output for the live load distribution factors that were…

I am modeling a conceptual design for a cable stayed bridge. I have modeled other bridges in Open Bridge Modeler however I dont think it allows for cable stayed bridges. I know RM Bridge does. Should i Just try and do everything in RM? the main goal of…

I am working on the Bentley tutorials but I am confuse on how all of the Open Bridge Desiner connects to Open Bridge Modeler and Leap. do we need to start from OpenBridgeDesigner to have the Modeler and Leap work together. When I create in OpenBridge…

Hi all. Nice to meet you. I have a model steel composite cable-stayed bridge with 6 span continuos by Rm Bridge V8, 2 side span have 150m, 4 main span is 300m. I don't known about allowed deflection of the bridge. I use AASHTO LRFD standard. If you…

Hi all. I have a question about Reinf crack for prestressed concrete as follows: If you calculator stress bot of section beam in MinMz_Service exceeding allowable stress tension limit is 0,5 x sqrt(f'c), you can calculator reinf area to control crack…

Hi all. I hava some question about steel composite brige as follows: 1. To calculator stress point of section, Rm Bridge automatic use short-term section for live load and load case type Non-permanent and use long-term section for load case type Permanent…

Can anybody please tell me how to investigate Whether the External tendon Profile is interrupted by each other? - in the picture above I try to set tendon profile across each other, But no any "Warning" or "Error" showing after I run my model Tha…

I am currently design 4 bridges in LEAP Steel v19 but am encountering an issue with the tool to automatically generate loads for the wearing surface of the structure. The bridges are all of a similar type, but some are wider than others and one is on…

New video up on my channel giving an in depth look at how to layout beams in OpenBridge Modeler, link below. I cover straight (chorded) prestressed concrete girders as well as curved steel I-girders. Definitely a few things that will save you a lot of…

Open Bridge Designer Version: 10.08.01.30 Open Bridge Modeler Version: 10.08.01.87 Leap Bridge Steel Version: 20.00.00.24 I am having difficulties with using leap bridge steel within the open bridge designer application. I am finding that each…

Hello That is my first post on this community. I am doing the training for OpenBrigde and in the Module 6 practice I have been noticed whit this error but I dont know why happen this. I populated following the instructions as you can see:…

Hi, I've encountered a scenario in prestressing design where with the decreasing of total number of strands, the Mu provided somehow increases. Attached are two screenshots with different total number of strands & corresponding Mu. -Total number of…

Hi All, I'm calculating the screed elevations, top of haunch elevations, and final deck surface elevations. I had the following questions: Is there a way to get OpenBridge Modeler or LEAP Bridge Steel to provide these elevations? Or is the best…
