PMM non-linear springs

We would like to ask a PMM non-linear spring for modeling Plastic Hinges for reinforced-concrete Columns. This PMM springs are used for modeling the Moment-Rotation (M-R) behavior for different axial loads (P). The PMM spring should be able to cap...

Apply an Annotation Group to multiple named boundaries at a time

In cross section creation it would be helpful to batch select a group of drawing models to apply a specific annotation group to (after drawing models are created from named boundaries). For example, we usually have driveway cross sections or half ...

OBM Longitudinal Bearing Slope

In OBM, when using the "Modeled as sloped bearing seats" option, I expected the bearing seat to slope longitudinally as well—not just transversely. This is especially relevant for precast bearings, which often consist of a variable grout pad and a...

Slope direction from auxiliary alignment

In modeling a gore area, I need the slope direction to follow an auxiliary alignment. However, when using corridor information from OpenRoads Designer (ORD), it becomes incompatible with OpenBridge Modeler (OBM) if there's a change in slope direct...

Allow automatic POI definition from bearing to bearing (for camber and deflections)

For final bridge plans involving a steel bridge, we need to report dead load deflections at either the 10th or 20th points along the span—from bearing to bearing. While the program does calculate these points, it currently measures them from the e...

RMBridge--Seismic Eigen Analysis with CQC Method for Repeated Sub-Systems

In eigenvalue analysis of repetitive structures—where identical sub-systems exist independently within a single model—the same frequencies and eigenmodes are often assigned repeatedly to each sub-system. This leads to an issue with the CQC (Comple...

Terrain Display Option/Creation without Facet Smoothing

The way Openroads currently displays terrain models is not very defined. We need to have the option to create terrains without the use of Facet Smoothing so they will display similar to how InRoads does. I've attached a sample of an InRoads Terrai...

Fiber Mesh Cross Sectional Analysis

Con sider adding fiber-mesh tools for cross section analysis to RMBRIDGE. This allow the use of different materials in the cross section. This is important in seismic analysis for the definition of the Moment-Curvature properties. This feature is ...

x-section annotation of components

now we can only annotate the cut and fill in X-section, we need to be able to annotate also the different components

Edit Begin and End Support for Deck and Beam Groups

Let's say there are 4 spans and the user defines a bridge with 5 supports and the deck and beam groups run from support 1 to support 5. Then the engineer learns that we don't want this long of a bridge, only 3 spans. Please add the ability to chan...
