Implementation of fatigue design for cross frame individual members

In the ‘Code Checker Results’, the program summarizes for each girder all the critical load combinations, AASHTO code and controlling performance ratio. As in some diaphragm locations, the program is stating the girder is controlled by fatigue and...

Evaluate the use of Lambda excess reinforcement for development length of steel used in design

I agree that the excess reinforcement factors would be different for each POI and load case. That is one reason most engineers conservatively ignore that factor. A simple or temporary solution is to set that factor equal to 1. I believe that AASHT...

migration tool for workspaces

a Migration Tool for 10-10 to 10-11 workspaces.(or any time a new workspace category is created ie. 10-10, 10-11, 10-12...) Something that can find and copy the modifications made to the 10-10 workspace to suit our particular standards (cells, dgn...

Support "Apply Mainline Cant Through Turnout" in Create Cant command

This tool works for the branch geometry that is starting with a tunout. While creating the cant it applies the same cant value it read from main track geometry to the start of the turnout geometry. Also tool needs to have an option to change rotat...

Geometry Connector: Add column for degree of curve for an arc

Please Add column for degree of curve for an arc. The Geometry Connector should show the Degre e of Curve for an Arc, and not just Radius. It is annoying to have to use Excel or a calculator to go back and forth when you need a curve to be a certa...

Equal Space Point - Independently Control points after creation

After using the Equal Space Points command, I would like the ability to edit and adjust the offset of individual points which are created. We would also like an option to drop the Equal Space portion of the 'rule' so that we can have station and o...

OBD-- Leap Bridge Steel Cross Frame to be assigned as primary or secondary elements as additional criteria

From the user: "I have a straight steel bridge no skew and it is classifying cross-frames as primary members. Is there away to set cross-frames as secondary member for kL/r check?" This happens because All elements are only set as primary, without...

Anisotropic shell elements in RM Bridge

The implementation of FEM shell elements as a supplement to the beams in RM Bridge Enterprise, is a useful tool. Sometimes it will be useful to model the shell elements with different properties in the longitudinal direction compared to the transv...

3d measure between any to points.

I have used a 3d measure macro in Microstation for 20 years now. I love it. It would be nice to have this feature in ORD . Would be simple to add. The way the tool would work: Users snap between any two points. I dialog would pop up displaying the...

Corridor Modeling for 90 degrees corners

In modeling the road or site with geometry corner in 90 degrees or sharp, the small arc of corner is required in order to model the round corner. So that no overlap between 3d linear geometry. Software should provide the option to allow the corner...
