After clicking on ‘Loading> Loads> Inf. Surf Based LL/BR/CE> Influence Surface' in the navigation treeview, follow the steps to define the Influence Surface. You can use the collapsed documentation page below for more information on the explanations of each parameter.
| 1 | Click three-dots icon on Stage cell and select a Construction Stage as LLStage. |
 
|
| 2 | As a result of these operations, an issue will appear on the OpenBrIM screen. This does not necessarily mean that any operation was done incorrectly. The issue will be resolved when the roadway is define in the next step. | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Click the three-dots icon on the Roadway cell, and then set R1. |
|
| 5 | Keep the Live Load Category, Unit Load Spacing Long. and Unit Load Spacing Trans. and Direction as default. |
|
| 6 | Keep the parameters of the remaining tabs set to their default values. |
|
| 7 | Set name as ISGravity. |
|
| 8 | To model all the influence surface, copy the data below and paste the parameters into the first cell in OpenBrIM spreadsheet. Refer to the quick tip for an easy guide on how to perform the copy operation. After completing the copy, proceed to the next step to verify the model. | |
