OBM Custom Bearing Functional Component Library TXDOT

When I create a parametric cell library for use in OpenBridge, the library isn't recognized as an option in the Place Bearings tool when working within TXDOT workspace projects. Even though the cells are correctly defined and referenced, they don’...

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...

Camber on the beam, Beam need to be curved and follow the underside of the deck without gaps- Australia specific

The current beam hog modeling behavior is not as expected. While deck thickening can be applied, the supporting beams remain straight and do not conform to the underside profile of the deck. In reality, the beams should follow the curved shape of ...

For steel beams- When we create stiffeners and use them in cross frame definition, regardless of the method used, the stiffener tables when opened default to the first stiffener in the OBM library rather than the stiffener used in cross frame definition

Currently when we create a new stiffener and then when we create cross frames using those stiffeners, they don't show up when you open stiffener definition after creating cross frames (the first stiffener definition within the selection is shown)

When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.

Break decks into sections

Usually, the bridge deck of a precast beam is an integral unit per span. In actual construction, the bridge deck may be constructed in sections for each beam. Is it possible to break the bridge deck into sections for each beam, and further divide ...

Staged Construction Optionality

Staged construction is a very common construction methodology. The current process of modeling staged construction in OBM is to model each stage as separate bridges. This creates problems when modeling a steel I-girder bridge as the cross-frames b...

Include ability to model curtain wall under end bent

Please include ability to model curtain wall under end bent, similar to backwall. This curtain wall is a great tool when working on projects when new fill required to place is not significant enough to just an independent retaining wall but is sig...
