Please follow the instructions provided below to define wind on live loads Lane Position.
Table 1: Lane Position
| 1 | Navigate to Loads > Wind Load > Wind Load on Live Load > Lane Position |  |
| 2 | Click three-dots icon on Bridge cell. Assign "Bridge1" three times. The reason for this is that there are three lanes on the bridge. | |
| 3 | Enter Start & End Station [ft] as in the figure. |  |
| 4 | Enter the transverse offset value for each lane to influence the live wind load on the centers of the 3 available lanes. |
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Navigate to Lane Position under Loads on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy related Geometry from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM. |
Please follow the instructions provided below to define wind on live loads according to AASHTO.
Table 2: Wind Load on Live Load AASHTO
| 1 | Navigate to Loads > Wind Load > Wind Load on Live Load > Wind Load on Live Load AASHTO |  |
| 2 | Click three-dots icon on Center Lines of Lanes cell. | |
| 3 | In this step, assign all "Lane Positions" that were defined in the previous step. |  |
| 4 | Click three-dots icon on Stage cell and click select. Select the Stage to “WindLLStage” from the combobox. | |
| 5 |  | |
| 6 | Keep "Transverse Force" constant at 0.1 which comes “default” value. |  |
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Navigate to Wind Load on Live Load AASHTO under Loads on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy related General 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 .
