Project Top Bar

The top bar shows you create and open options together with a drop-down menu where you can activate different views, reach project settings such as revisions and users, and view and edit the source code of the project.

Project Top Bar

New Project: This button opens the view for the new project screen where you can create new OpenBrIM projects.
Open Project: This button is used to open the view for the 'Open Project' screen, where you can access already-created projects or projects that have been shared with you.

Click on the GIF below to see the new project and open project menu in action.

New Project & Open Project

Import: No user interface will guide you through the process. Instead, you will only see the file selection menu from your local machine. Please keep in mind that the following file formats are supported for import.

• You can select files with a .xml extension to import digital terrain or alignment from a Land XML file.

• You can select LARSA 4D(.lar), CSI Sap2000(.s2k), and Midas(.mct) files to import.

Export: Use this option to export your project data to different file formats. When you click on it, a new pop-up menu will be displayed as shown below.

Share: You can obtain the project link and share it with other users. This is analogous to copying and pasting the link from your web browser's address bar. Consequently, you won't be granting the user write access to your project, nor will the project appear on their 'Open Project' screen.

Check OpenBrIM Library For Updates: Users can utilize this button to check the version status of the template objects and determine if there are any updated objects in the library. If a user encounters a message indicating that they are not up to date, they can easily update the library object by clicking "confirm”.

If your template is up to date, you will see the following message.

Click on the GIF below to observe how updating library objects in your projects alters the object inputs.

Add to Verification Profile: Users have the option to include submitted projects in the verification profile, which will automatically execute with every OpenBrIM release or after updating the library objects in the template. Before using this command, users are required to choose the project values (such as node displacements, D/C ratios, etc.) that need to be checked.

Please refer to this page to learn more about the process of automated testing for projects added to the verification profile.

Burger Menu:

For a detailed explanation of the top menu items (support/profile/model/fea/cad/docs), please refer to the following page.

Project Site:

Using the project site feature allows you to incorporate a digital terrain model into your project. Furthermore, users have the option to import a Land XML file if they possess a digital terrain model for their project.

GIS(IN DEV.):

By clicking the GIS button, you can access a view that displays your project in its geographical location, along with all other bridges defined in other OpenBrIM projects linked to the current one. You can also consider this view as a federated model view, although it is currently under development.

Sensors:

By clicking the "Sensors" button, you can access a view that displays sensors linked to your current project, and their live stream data.

Assets:

Clicking the 'Assets' button allows you to view imported assets from the library, as shown in the screenshot below

Revisions:
Clicking the 'Revisions' button provides access to a menu displaying the project's revision history, links to each snapshot, changes between each revision, and the ability to duplicate a project from a snapshot. For further details, please refer to this page.

Users

Clicking the 'User' button provides access to a menu showing the project's read-only, write, and admin users. For more details, please refer to this page.

Source Code

When you click the 'Source' button, it gives you access to a code editor displaying the ParamML code of the project, where each library object is invoked with user-entered parameters.

Exercise caution when making modifications to the source code, and be sure to consult OpenBrIM Support before altering any parameters within it.

Reference

Reference opens a menu where ParamML developers can access documentation for each library component.

For end users seeking documentation on creating library objects in their projects, utilize the information button displayed below to access documentation for each library object, as the reference button above is not intended for this purpose.
