| 1 | Open the Model: Open the OpenBrIM APP to either initiate a new project or access a previously created model. |  |
| 2 | Checking Staged Construction Inputs: Navigate to Construction Stage and see each construction stage defined in the model. |  |
| 3 | Identify the previous stage (Prior Stage) of each stage. The prior stage for the first stage should be NULL. For all other stages, ensure that the inputs for the prior stage are correct. The order of rows may not have functional significance for the software's prior stage parameter; however, having the correct order can make visualization easier. If you need to change the row order, use the 'Shift Rows Up/Down' or 'Move Rows' command after clicking on the name cell. Ensure that the construction method is 'Equal' for the deck hardening stage, and for other stages, it should be 'None' The Load Type holds significance in facilitating the extraction of forces from each stage. However, it does not impact the analysis results. Ensure that all stages related to transient loads (such as wind, live load, temperature load, etc.) are branched from a permanent load stage, and that you do not proceed directly from that stage Furthermore, you have the option to visualize the sequence of construction stages and their corresponding activities through a tree view. |  |

| 5 | Checking Staged Construction Model: Start an analysis on OpenBrIM |  |
| 6 | Checking Staged Construction Model From FEA View: Click FEM View Settings to select the size of the FE objects and the support/local axis size by moving the slide bar |  |
| 7 | Visual Verification: Visual Verification: Firstly, navigate to FEA tab. Thoroughly review the model at each stage visually. Ensure that it accurately reflects the real construction sequence. |  |
| 86 | Within the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model, there are two viewing options available. The first option involves displaying your constructed structure up to the designated stage you've chosen: 'Display Constructed Only.' Conversely, the second option involves presenting the completed construction, irrespective of the chosen stage: 'Display All Structure.' Activate 'Display Constructed Only' and navigate through each stage to ensure that it accurately reflects the real construction sequence. |  |

| 2 | Visualization of Applied Loads: Navigate to the FEA tab. On the lower left-hand side, you'll find boxes that allow for selections. Select for the "Loading" tab from the combobox. | 
|
| 3 | Upon choosing various Construction Stages, will be observed the applied of "Surface Load", "Line Load" and "Point Load" to the designated elements. | |
| 4 | Verification of Applied Load Values: Follow these steps to visually inspect the loads displayed in the spreadsheet and verify their consideration: Navigate to the FEA Tab.
