Please follow the instructions provided below to add surface and the corresponding load definitions.

1

Navigate to Load Geometry Definitions > Surface > Quadrilateral

2

Click three-dots icon on Bridge cell and set “BRG1”.

3

Enter Start Station, End Station and Surface Width data as follows for LS1 (Load Surface Definitions).

  • Start Station [ft]: 0

  • End Station [ft]: 520

  • Surface Width [ft]: 36

 

4

Navigate to Loads > Surface Load

 

 

5

Click on the three-dots icon in the surface cell, and set LS1 to identify the construction stages that have a surface load.

6

As per the construction stages in the project, you should define 3 surface loads.

Then enter the name.

7

Click three-dots icon on Stage cell and click select.

Enter the stage data as follows:

  • FutureWearLoad: FutureWearingStage

  • SIPLoadLeft: SIPFormworkStage

  • SIPLoadRight: SIPFormworkStage

 

8

Enter the magnitudes of the (Surface) Loads to be applied on Surface as in the figure.

 

9

In this cell, set the Element's stage, which indicates which surface load will be applied to each surface.


1

Go to Quadrilateral under Load Geometry Definitions on the tree view.

2

Copy Surface, and Graphics from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.

3

Go to Surface Load under Loads on the tree view.

4
