6 | Keep the Start Skew, End Skew, Haunch Load and Self Weight Factor as default. | |
7 | Go to the Longitudinal tab and specify the stations of deck pouring in the longitudinal direction. Keep the Start Station as default. | |
8 | Enter the End Station as 111. | |
9 | Go to the Transverse tab and specify the stations of deck pouring in the transverse direction. This example includes a complete casting sequence. Therefore, Keep the Transverse Const. Type as Complete (as default). | |
10 | Set name as DeckCasting1. | |
11 | To model all the deck construction, copy the data below and paste the parameters into the first cell in OpenBrIM spreadsheet. Refer to the quick tip for an easy guide on how to perform the copy operation. After completing the copy, proceed to the next step to verify the model. |
