{live-template:Tutorial} Setting up step-by-step moving load analysis involves the following steps: |
...
* Define [kb:Vehicle] (via "Define > Bridge Loads > Vehicles") |
...
* Define [kb:Lane] (via "Define > Bridge Loads > Lanes") |
...
* Use "Define > Load Pattern" menu command to define [kb:Load pattern] of type BRIDGE LIVE. Click "Modify Bridge Live Button" to define the parameters for this live load pattern, such as lanes, vehicles, vehicle speed, movement direction, |

...
etc. !Define_bridge_live_load_pattern.png! * This will automatically create a Multi-step static load case that you can review using "Define > Load Cases" menu command. |
...
* You can also evaluate dynamic response by changing the load case type from "Multi-step Static" to "Time History" and setting analysis type to nonlinear, direct-integration. Set the damping and other parameters as necessary. |
