...

Define the station-dimension relationship on the spreadsheet.

...

Top Flange thickness, web depth and thickness, bottom flange width and thickness, haunch thickness, and additional haunch width parameters can be defined similarly to top flange width.

...

Click three-dots icon on top flange & web & bottom flange material cells and import a Material.

...

You can edit the FE mesh settings of girders from FEA Settings tab.

...

...

The girder FE model will be automatically generated by the OpenBrIM based on the parametric relation between the 3D and FEM in the library component. The girder section is represented using FeLine elements for flanges and FeSurface elements for the web.

2nd row: Length: 22.9 ft, Top Flange Width: 21 in

3rd row: Length: 20 ft, Top Flange Width: 21 in

4th row: Length: 20 ft, Top Flange Width: 21 in

5th row: Length: 21.1 ft, Top Flange Width: 21 in

6th row: Length: 123 ft, Top Flange Width: 15 in

🖱️ Click three-dots icon on Top Flange Material cells and select a Material as A709 50.

The reason for selecting the material parameter instead of importing its value is that the material objects have already been imported previously.

If you have reached this stage and you don't have a material to select, and if you want to use the Import Button, you can refer to the Quick Tip.
