Plate Girder

Follow the next steps to create girders.

1	Go to Plate Girder on the tree view next to data spreadsheet.
2	Click three-dots icon on Girder Layout cell and set a layout.
3	Edit the plate girder dimensions. To enter a station-dependent dimension;
4	Click three-dots icon on the cell and Edit (spreadsheet).
5	Define the station-dimension relationship on the spreadsheet.
6	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.
7	Click three-dots icon on top flange & web & bottom flange material cells and import a Material.
8	You can edit the FE mesh settings of girders from FEA Settings tab.
9	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.
10	Quick Tip Haunch Thickness = Distance from the bottom of the deck to bottom of the top flange.

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

1	Go to Plate Girder under Steel Girders on the tree view.
2	Copy Girder Parameters from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.
3	Go to FEA Settings under Plate Girder on the tree view.
4	Copy FEA Settings from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.
5	Also, you can copy the station dependent section data from model inputs, and paste the related Edit Spreadsheet tab.

Completed girders 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 .
