RM Bridge -- Line integral results not matching with FEM shells results

Integration of Gauss points results for line integrals seem to give less shell transversal moment results comparing to what is obtain in FEM shell results.

LEAP Concrete - Apply Additional Self Weight Load

In the loads tab provide an option to specify that a load is part of the self weight. between the internal concrete block outs, and sometimes having geometry that doesn't perfectly match the library beam self weight, it would be helpful to be able...

LEAP Steel - Additional Load Applications

Provide a way to quickly apply additional loads that are either composite, or specific to a beam. Include the ability to specify which stage the load is applied during. This would get used for loads such as additional overhang concrete, utilities,...

LEAP Steel Compact Reports

The output reports for a bridge in Leap Bridge Steel is thousands of pages of poorly optimized tables. I have used other software (including LEAP Bridge Concrete, Merlin DASH, etc.) that provide a lot of the same necessary information with much mo...

Rotate bearings in Leap Steel 3D view

Currently with a skewed bridge you can specify that the bearings are aligned with the beam or with the CLBRG however the 3D model shows them the same regardless of the option selected.

Show Slopes in Properties

Request to add the slope of an element in the properties tab. Why is it useful? Allows designers to check slopes at a glance without using dimensioning tools. Slope in relation to the global origin would be helpful for typical sections. However, i...

Integration of OpenRoads Designer Civil Functions in Python

Add OpenRoads Designer Civil functions to Python integration allowing development of Python applications that can access/call the Civil Design processes within OpenRoads

Finite Element Analysis for curved and skewed bridges

Curved and skewed bridges often contain challenging geometric features, such as deck corners, diaphragm/cross-frame connections to girders. In these areas, the software is frequently unable to generate a reliable mesh using only the basic mesh set...

Ability to annotate models over a station range

Currently, the only way to update Annotation is to update ALL or one drawing model at a time. It would be very helpful to be able to select a station range to remove and then update in one action.
