Connections [SIG]

 

This section of the workflow is designed to create connection element definitions for 3D models, which are used for code checks and visualization purposes.

If the weight loads of these elements need to be applied to the bridge model, there are several parameters on the spreadsheet under Construction → Superstructure Construction → Girder Erection (Partial) / Girder/Cross-Frame Erection (Complete). By setting the relevant parameters to 'Include' or 'Ignore,' the weight loads of the modeled connection elements can either be applied or excluded.

The parameters available for such definitions are:

On both spreadsheets, Girder/Cross-Frame Erection (Complete) and Girder Erection (Partial):

  • Splice Load [Include/Ignore],

  • Stiffener/Gusset Plate Load [Include/Ignore].

Currently, OpenBrIM enables users to model the following:
