This update has the potential to alter the behavior of the library objects, including 3D, FEM, and Spec Check output. It might introduce additional inputs or modify the meaning of existing inputs. Therefore, it is advisable not to update the template if the project has already been submitted to the agency and the user does not intend to use the new features. Please follow library object release notes in your Slack channel if you are an enterprise customer, and consult with OpenBrIM support before this operation. |
If your template is up to date, you will see the following message.

Add to Verification Profile: Users have the option to include submitted projects in the verification profile, which will automatically execute with every OpenBrIM release or after updating the library objects in the template. Before using this command, users are required to choose the project values (such as node displacements, D/C ratios, etc.) that need to be checked.
Please refer to this page to learn more about the process of automated testing for projects added to the verification profile.
