The design process of steel girder bridges typically involves modeling the construction of pier caps, pier columns, foundations, and piles as a single stage to streamline the analysis and reduce the number of required stages. However, in real-world construction, these components may be constructed separately over multiple stages, depending on factors such as site conditions, available resources, and project schedule. OpenBrIM offers features that allow users to model these details with various stages and time-dependent staged construction analysis.
Please follow the instructions provided below to define construction of substructure bridge components.
| 1 | Navigate to Loading > Construction > Substructre > (Foundation Complete) |  |
| 2 | Click three-dots icon on Stage cell and click select. | |
| 3 | Select "SubstrConstStage" as stage. |  |
| 4 | Click three-dots icon on Foundation cell and click pick. |  |
| 5 | Select all of the Foundations that were previously defined from the 3D View. | Figure will be added  |
| 6 | Then click Done. |
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Navigate to Foundation (Complete) under Substructure on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy Foundation Construction from model inputs and paste into 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 .
