Please follow the instructions provided below to add the insertion points where the bearings will be created.

Navigate to Bridge Geometry > Insertion Point

Click the three-dots on the first cell of the Location and create the first insertion point by setting its location to Abut1

Each bearing must have a minimum of one insertion point. Additionally, for each precast girder, there should be one insertion point at the beginning and one at the end.


Since there are five girders from Abut1 support line to Pier1 support line, we need to define five insertion points at Abut1.


To position the insertion point on the support line, input the Transverse Offset and Longitudinal Offset values as shown in the figure.

Repeat the same to create other insertion points and set their transverse offset values

 Quick Tip: Skew angle & Offset parameter calculation

Skew angle and transverse offset parameters for support lines that have skew > 0. User need to enter T value for skewed supports.

Skew angle and longitudinal offset parameters for support lines that have skew > 0.

 Quick Tip: Transverse Offset Direction

Offset values use PGL as the reference point.

Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.

1

Navigate to Insertion Point under Bridge Geometry.

2

Copy Bridge Parameters from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.

Insertion point layout is given below.

 Quick Tip: Copy inputs to OpenBrIM

Copy the desired data with the automatic copy button in the upper left corner.

Click on the first cell in and use the Ctrl+V shortcut to paste.

If icon won’t appear, collapse page tree menu by clicking on arrow or using shortcut “[”.

While pasting large data, it would be handy to turn of Auto-refresh .
