This object allows you to group the objects found in the project. You can activate or deactivate the objects in each group you create in the project.

Pick Objects: The objects to be grouped can be picked one by one. However, it is easier to select all group objects by picking the main object first, and then selecting the reference objects associated with the main objects using 'Select References'.

Select Objects: Objects that cannot be picked, such as the wind load object which is not visible on the project screen, are selected using 'Select Object'.

Active: According to the 'Activation/Deactivation Impact', active objects' 3D geometries, finite models, and design reports can be enabled within the group, while those of inactive objects are not displayed in the project.

Activation/Deactivation Impact: The selection determines whether the object group affects the FEA model and/or Design reports.

  • FEA and Design Reset : This option affects both the FE models of the objects and their design reports. When the object is deactivated, the FE models of the selected objects are not created during the analysis process, and the design reports of the selected objects are not included in the design process.

  • Design Reset : This selection affects only the design reports of the objects. When the object is deactivated, the design reports of the selected objects during the design process are not included in the design process and become deactivated.

Note

To better understand the options for 'FEA and Design Reset' and 'Design Reset', follow the steps below.

1) FEA and Design Reset

1

Log in to your account and locate the 'Project' option in the top right corner.

Please note that the initial download process for the library components take approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete. The reopening of the same project will experience a notable increase in speed, primarily due to the caching of OpenBrIM library objects within your browser. The loading of library objects during this process generally takes less than 2-3 seconds

Selecting all objects in the span can be difficult. Instead, it is easier to select support lines and then select the reference objects using 'Select References'.

14

Click on 'Select References' by clicking on three points.

Similar steps are followed to create 'Object Groups' for Span-2 and Span-3.

24

Let's deactivate SpanUnit1 and activate only the objects in Span-2 and Span-3.

Under the Substructure Code Check, there are three Concrete Pier Cap Code Checks available: EndBent1, PierCap1, and PierCap2. Since we have only activated 'Design Reset' for UnitSpan3, only the Code Check for PierCap2 among these objects will be included in the design stage.
