Lateral Bracing [SIG]

Inputs

Girder: Choose the two girders that are connected by the lateral bracing.

Left Girder Station: By aligning the direction with the PGL, users can determine the station for bracing on the left girder

Right Girder Station: By aligning the direction with the PGL, users can determine the station for bracing on the right girder.

Section: A section for lateral bracing can be assigned. The data associated with this parameter will directly affect the Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Finite Element Model (FEM), and the 3D model.
