Need bent plate connection plates for diaphragm and cross frames.
OBM does not currently allow for bent connection plates for diaphragms / cross frames. We need that ability to cover bridges skewed between 20 and 45 degrees.
Enhancing Named Boundaries: Updating Named Boundaries and Applying Geometry Rules
To enhance productivity and efficiency in live projects, we need dynamic Named Boundaries linked to Geometry. This includes the ability to update the shape or location of a named boundary after creating a sheet model, with the changes reflected in...
When working on Finish Grade Elevations, I have been utilizing the Station / Offset Tool in the OBM Geometry Report flow to capture my T-line points along Beam Lines and print the report for documentation. The bridge I am currently working on is o...
Update to Manual for Bridge Evaluation 3 rd edition
The current version of LBC we're using references the Manual for Bridge Evaluation, 2nd Edition as the basis for bridge rating. I'm wondering if there are plans to update this to reference the 3rd Edition instead. If such an update is planned, cou...
When I create a parametric cell library for use in OpenBridge, the library isn't recognized as an option in the Place Bearings tool when working within TXDOT workspace projects. Even though the cells are correctly defined and referenced, they don’...
OBM Longitudinal Bearing Slope: The user is expecting the bearing seat to slope also longitudinally when it is "Modeled as sloped bearing seats," despite the fact that it was originally designed to work only transversely.
Precast bearings are ...
I'm currently developing a bridge model that includes a gore area, and I'm encountering some modeling challenges. The main issue is with the deck slope: the slope direction changes across the width of the bridge, but the deck template is constrain...
Interoperability of concrete diaphragm from OBM to LBC for open/close box beam types
Interoperability of concrete diaphragm from OBM to LBC for open/close box beam types: box girders start, end,
and interior diaphragms, where the beams have full closed sections.
Please see the attached MSWORD File.
Allow automatic POI definition from bearing to bearing (for camber and deflections)
For a set of final bridge plans for a steel bridge, we need to give the dead load deflections at either 10th or 20th points along the span from bearing to bearing. The program will calculate the 10th and 20th points, but the program takes it from ...
RMBridge--Seismic Eigen Analysis with CQC Method for Repeated Sub-Systems
Seismic Eigen Analysis with CQC Method for Repeated Sub-Systems
At the eigenvalue analysis in a repetitive structure that is independent, but is identical to other sub-systems within one unique model, having the same frequency and eigenmodes repe...
