Allow one-way export of OBM model to OBD for analysis

The OBM-OBD BIM workflow may work fine for standard style bridges, but when odd geometry is encountered, it would be helpful to be able to make modifications within the LEAP Concrete OBD file for analytical reasons, without affecting OBM geometry,...

View Design Reports In OBD, No Need to Go Into Analysis Software

It would be very helpful if when we have design reports ran and sitting within the conspan and RC-pier files, if OBD could display those reports from the OBD interface and not force users to go into each individual design file of each design softw...

Live Element Annotation in Drawing Models via Annotation Groups

There can be a lot of instances on a project where a detail in a section is not practical to model 3D, and the user feels compelled draw the element live in the drawing model. It would be great to capture live elements with annotation groups, as t...

Beam Haunch Parameters and Templates

Beam haunches should have more robust parameters or even model templates. some examples would be: the ability to allow exterior haunches to extend to the edge of deck independent of the top flange of the girder/beam. also allow it to taper to a ...

Patch Product More Often

I will use ORD as an example. I, along with many others, have chosen to remain on ORD 10.12 due to a constant string of issues with more current releases. Most recently, I tried to upgrade a project from 10.12 to 24. This resulted in my Text File ...

Allow a different truck for the Fatigue Load check in LEAP Bridge Concrete Precast/Prestressed Girder module

This addition would allow a truck other than the AASHTO Fatigue truck to be checked for the fatigue load case when the design criteria require a different truck. Currently, it is NOT possible to check the fatigue load case for a live load other th...

Haunched (angled) deck soffit at outside edges extending to top flange of girder

Our bridges are designed with a haunched (or angled) soffit at the outside edges of the deck. These extend from the outside edge of the deck down to the top of the outside girder flange. Right now, this can be fudged in a deck template on a straig...

Separate stirrup and shear connector spacing LEAP Concrete

It would be very helpful to be able to put in different spacing for the shear stirrups than for the shear connectors between the beam and deck. I know older standard detailing had these all as one bar so the spacing would always be the same. Howev...

camber at .1xCLBRG span in LEAP Concrete

Add an option to get camber given at 10th points on the clbrg span instead of the precast span. beams are being set at a certain elevation at CLBRG so the camber up from CLBRG is what we need to design geometry around, not camber up from end of pr...

LEAP Bridge Steel Factored Total Reactions

In LEAP Bridge Steel, include an option for the analysis reports and diagrams to include total reactions from factored load combinations. The current reports only provide unfactored reactions for individual load cases which leaves the user to manu...
