Thank you once again for your reply.

I did change my elements to infrmFB elements. However, I found that it gave me convergence problems. It was resolved when I removed the self-weight of concrete and reinforcements and then applying them to the section with additional mass/length. I also found ...

Thank you for your reply.

I am using DB elements. My units are fine. I am not sure what do you mean by subdividing elements. Do you mean the division of elements in the element subdivision tab in the Options menu for pre-processor?

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have calibrated my bridge model for static analysis with the same bridge model which is modeled as grillage in SAP2000. The results are almost similar with only a 4 % difference. However, when I perform the Static Pushover analysis I am getting the failure at ...

I have defined two performance criteria for failure in steel and concrete.
I am not sure how to define performance criteria to control deflection in girder.
Could you please elaborate on how to define performance criteria to control the deflection.

Thank you for your reply.

As I am having four girders in the bridge. I have four control nodes at the middle of the bridge for each girder.

I am doing the pushover analysis with different load cases in which I am moving trucks in the transverse direction of the bridge. So when I change the load ...

I have modeled four girders of bridge sections and connected them with dummies. The bridge girders are in the X-Y plane. I am applying truckload in -ve Z direction and doing a pushover analysis. I had a similar model in SAP2000. I have done the calibration for linear analysis and have almost similar ...
