Haunch Thickness [in]: The additional haunch thickness is measured from both the right and left top flanges. The haunch width is set according to the width of the top flanges of the section. During deck construction, the automatic haunch load computation is impacted by both the haunch thickness and additional haunch width.
FEA Settings
Element Type:
Mesh Size (Long.) [ft]: The maximum distance between nodes in the longitudinal direction is specified using the longitudinal mesh size. In most cases, a smaller mesh size can be generated based on the diaphragm locations, deck pouring or deconstruction definitions, or section change locations.Merge Tolerance:
# of Result Extraction St.: The result extraction station settings are solely for viewing FEA composite results in either the spreadsheet or FEA view, and do not impact standard finite element analysis results like member end forces, node displacement, and node reactions. For girder code checks, exact code check stations will be utilized for FEA composite results.
