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...

Ability to automatically generate 3d linear features/Linestrings from OBM elements

Generation of 2d decorations and solids are insufficient for full coordination with road geometry teams and they regularly need to provide 3d linestring geometry as part of the roadway design for bridge barriers, wingwall edges for earthworks, etc...

RM Bridge Envelopes for Shell Forces

I would like to start using RM Bridge with shell elements for transverse analysis, however, I have just found out that currently it does not provide envelope results for shell forces, this is an essential tool for live load transverse analysis.

Approach Slab Line Offset

Currently the approach slab line uses an offset distance to place it. that offset value just shifts the line that distance along the alignment, which is not what we want especially on curved bridges. That offset distance needs to be a copy paralle...

Implement Beam hog modeling aligned to Australian Bridge design

Current Beam hog modeling is not as expected for Australian Bridges. Deck thickening can be applied, but the beams that support the deck do not follow the underside shape of the deck. The beams are straight, but really need to be curved and follow...
