Follow the next steps to import load factors from pre-defined OpenBrIM Library definitions.
| 1 | Go to Combinations/Design Load Combinations/Load Combination Table. This is the interface of load factors of limit states to be imported. |  |
Follow the next steps to add load combinations for superstructure.
| 1 | In Load Combination Table input spreadsheet, go to 1st row of Strength I column and click on three-dots icon. |  |
| 2 | Select Import. | |
| 3 | Keep Source drop-down menu as default (OpenBrIM Platform ()). |   |
| 4 | Select Database from drop-down menu as AASHTO 9th Edition Limit States. | |
| 5 | Select Category as Strength Limit States. | |
| 6 | Select Asset as Strength I. | |
| 7 | Scroll down in the Import OBPAASHTOLimitState menu and click Import. | |
| 8 | In same way, repeat the same procedure to import the other corresponding limit states (Strength III, Strength IV, Strength V, Service II, Fatigue I and Fatigue II). |  |
| 9 | Name the Load Combination Table as SuperstructureLCT. | |
| 10 | Imported limit states appears under Combinations/Design Load Combinations/Limit States. |  |
Follow the next steps to add load combinations for substructure.
| 1 | Go back to Combinations/Design Load Combinations/Load Combinations tab. |  |
| 2 | Create one more row and name it as SubstructureLCT. Import the limit states (StrengthI, StrengthIII, StrengthIV, StrengthV, ServiceI, ServiceII, ServiceIII, ServiceIV, FatigueI and FatigueII) in same way with the previous step. | |
| 3 | Additonal limit states imported are appeared in Combinations/Design Load Combinations/Limit States spreadsheet. |  |
| 4 | ||
Serviceability limit states (Strength, Service, and Fatigue) and load combinations are completed.
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Go to Load Combination Table under Design Load Combinations on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy Params 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 .
