This object serves the purpose of 3D visualization and generating loading surfaces.Sidewalk object currently does not have a Finite Element Model (FEM) and is not used in Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
General
Bridge: Specify the bridge on which the sidewalk will be placed, as OpenBrIM allows for the modeling of multiple bridges.
Sidewalk Dimensions: At least two rows of definitions must be made within this parameter, representing the start and end stations of the sidewalk.
Station: Specify the station along the PGL (Projected Ground Level).
Transverse Offset: Specify the transverse offset that is perpendicular to the PGL.
Right Width: Provide the right width when looking up the station along the PGL.
Left Width: Provide the left width when looking up the station along the PGL.
Skew: Specify the skew angle for that station.
Left Thickness: Specify the thickness of the left side.
