• Define vehicle class through Define > Bridge Loads > Vehicle Classes.

• Define the lane through Define > Bridge Loads > Lanes.

• Define a moving-load case through Define > Load Cases > Add New Load Case. Set the load-case type to Moving Load, then specify the vehicles and lanes assigned to this moving load, as shown in Figure 1:
