The entire model is based on a standard equally devided load on a beam. The end points of the beam are simply supported.
The next picture shows some things that are possible with the feature that is introduced in the pictures after that.
The following pictures show different possibilities with a created feature. In this it was important to let te beam change if some parameters change. Further it is important to keep a certain distance between the parabolic parts. This model gives that result. In this model also different heights and different span directions are possible.
As I already told many parameters can be changed and so they can change the model. In the next picture all the parameters are shown.
Parameters
- Beam_parbh: shows the relation between the width and the height of the beam.
- Beam_parwmax: gives the maximum displacement in the middle of the beam.
- Beam_qm2: gives the load per squere meter.
- Beam_youngs: gives the youngs modulus.
- Hfacade: gives the height of the parapet of the bridge area
- Hmin: gives different heights of the collumn
- Opp_.....: Gives different distances from the central line of the beam to the edge of the bridge area.

Hi Marco,
this looks great and I am glad to see you are making progress on reapplying the knowledge back to the design proposal of the reactive bridge design - looking forward to the presentation today.
