The Plate object serves as a connection element between the Steel I-Girder Bent Cap and the superstructure. Both the FEM and 3D models are generated based on the parameter definitions listed below.

Plate

Girders: Specify the girders to define the location of the Plate object.

Location [Top/Bottom]: The plate can be generated at either the top or bottom of the chosen girders. This parameter specifies the exact location of the plates.

Station on Girders (from right end, center of plate)[ft]:Thickness[in]:Right End): This parameter allows you to adjust the location of the plate according to the bridge's transverse direction.

Thickness: For visual representation, refer to the figure below.

Width of the Plate[in]:Material:: For visual representation, refer to the figure below.

Material: Assign a material to the plate. Materials can be selected from previously defined options or imported as needed
