When the objective is to control strength, service, and fatigue limit states, it might be necessary to define multiple precast I-beam code control templates for a project. Each template can be tailored to address specific requirements and conditions for different limit states. By having separate templates, you can ensure that the results mapped to the load combination table are appropriately calculated and verified for each limit state.
Having the flexibility to create as many templates as needed allows you to manage various design scenarios efficiently. It enables you to customize the code check settings for different load cases, load combinations, and limit states, ensuring that all necessary checks and verifications are performed accurately. This approach enhances the precision and reliability of the analysis and ensures compliance with the desired design standards and regulations.
Please follow the instructions provided below to create Prestressed I Girder code check template
| 1 | In order to perform Code Checks on Precast I Girders, assign the appropriate Load Combination Tables. As I-girders are part of the superstructure of bridges, the Load Combination Tables defined for the superstructure in previous steps should be utilized. | |
| 2 | Navigate to Templates for Code Check and Load Rating > Prestressed I Girder Code Check |  |
| 3 | It is sufficient to define one Load Combination Table for Prestressed I Girder code control. Enter the name in the Name column as PIGTemp | |
| 4 | Click three-dots icon on Load Case of Girder Weight Only and click select. To select the load type "DC1" which represents the dead load, navigate to the drop-down table and choose "DC1" from the list of available load types. |   |
| 5 | Click three-dots icon on Load Combination Table and assign SuperstructureLCT. |  |
| 6 | Maintain the values of all incoming parameters with their default values unchanged. |  |
| 7 | Navigate to Section Propertiy Tab. |  |
| 8 | Set parameters as in the figure. | |
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Navigate to Prestressed I Girder Code Check under Templates for Code Checks on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy General, Section Property from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM. |
The Precast I Girder Code Check have been created.
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 .
