Limitations on models imported from LEAP Bridge Steel

After substructure geometry is completed in LEAP Bridge Steel, piers and abutments can be sent to Substructure via the Substructure Design/Analysis dialog in LEAP Bridge Steel. A majority of the other Substructure features will be available for use, however, certain limitations apply as follows:

  • Changes to geometry cannot be made in Substructure; examples:
    • Column size.
    • Column spacing.
    • Cap size.
    • Skew angle.
    • Pier/abutment elevations, etc.
    • Bearings layout.
  • Pile Bents and Struts are not supported since they are not yet available in LEAP Bridge Steel.
  • File Open/Save of *.lbc file.
  • SI Units (Metric).
