Plate [SIG]

The Plate object serves as a connection element between the Steel I-Girder Bent Cap and the superstructure. Both the FEM and 3D models are generated based on the parameter definitions listed below.

Plate

Girders: Specify the girders to define the location of the Plate object.

Location [Top/Bottom]: The plate can be generated at either the top or bottom of the chosen girders. This parameter specifies the exact location of the plates.

Station on Girders (from Right End): This parameter allows you to adjust the location of the plate according to the bridge's transverse direction.

Thickness: For visual representation, refer to the figure below.

Width of the Plate: For visual representation, refer to the figure below.

Material: Assign a material to the plate. Materials can be selected from previously defined options or imported as needed
