Follow the next steps to set boundary conditions for each bearing location (insertion point) that you have defined while creating the bridge layout.
| 1 | Go to Bearing Fixity on the tree view next to data spreadsheet. |  |
| 2 | Set Tx/Ty/Tz/Rx/Ry/Rz. | |
| 3 | Set Transfer Force to Substructure as Yes for interior pier locations. | |
| 4 | Set Transfer Force to Substructure as No for start and end support locations. | |
| 5 | In this part, dofs are assigned to nodes. The coordinate system of the each insertion point changes along the support line and alignment. According to this new coordinate system, new dofs should be assigned. Tx/Ty/Tz/Rx/Ry/Rz fixities are shown below. -20221022-132407.png?version=1&modificationDate=1666445058623&cacheVersion=1&api=v2) Bearing Rotation parameter rotates the support clockwise in the XY plane.
