Rectangular [EX1-SIG]

Follow the below steps to add foundation.

1	Go to Rectangular under Foundation on the tree view.
2	Click three-dots icon on Substructure.
3	Pick pier column/columns.
4	Edit Footing properties on the spreadsheet.
5	Click three-dots icon on Material and set a concrete material for footing.
6	Mesh size and number of strips for both directions can be entered in FEM tab.
7	Quick Tip Longitudinal Offset = It offsets the foundation along the alignment. Transverse Offset = It offsets the foundation on the y-axis perpendicular to the alignment. Rotation = It rotates the XY plane.

Quick Tip

Follow the below steps to link the inputs to each other.

Go back to Support Lines tab at the Bridge Geometry.
Enter the skew angle 30 for the Pier2. Internal parameter name used for skew angle is s_skew.
Go to Rotation parameter at the Rectangular Foundation tab.
Enter '=Pier2.s_skew'.
Rotation parameter is the same as skew parameter of the support lines.
As the skew parameter changes, the rotation parameter will also change.

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

1	Go to Rectangular under Foundation on the tree view.
2	Copy Footing from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.
3	Go to FEM under Rectangular on the tree view.
4	Copy FEM data from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.

Completed rectangular footing is illustrated 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 .
