DU tool to update node name by feature definition

The name of the nodes are defined at placement by the selected Feature Definition. It's common for it to be changed during the design process. For these cases, all altered nodes must be manually renamed. This usually is done through selection or u...

Challenges when different template components/features share the same name but with different assigned feature definitions

Suppose you have a corridor with two different template drops. The first template has a component called "pavement_left" with a feature definition "pvmt_ friction _course". The second template has a component also called "pavement_left" with a fea...

Station Offset Report

When working on Finish Grade Elevations, I have been utilizing the Station / Offset Tool in the OBM Geometry Report flow to capture my T-line points along Beam Lines and print the report for documentation. The bridge I am currently working on is o...

Update to Manual for Bridge Evaluation 3 rd edition

The current version of LBC we're using references the Manual for Bridge Evaluation, 2nd Edition as the basis for bridge rating. I'm wondering if there are plans to update this to reference the 3rd Edition instead. If such an update is planned, cou...

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...

OBM Change in the Direction of the Slope

I'm currently developing a bridge model that includes a gore area, and I'm encountering some modeling challenges. The main issue is with the deck slope: the slope direction changes across the width of the bridge, but the deck template is constrain...

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...

Complex Retaining Wall Modeling Tool

Many time when desining earthworks or roads we`re have to create retaning walls to respect the site boundaries. The soluntion depends on if it`s a cut (anchors, soil naisl, ..) or fill areas (seinforced soil walls, slope reinforcement, mass gravit...
