NO BRACING ALONG PIERS

 

Purpose:  Used to override the otherwise automatic location of bracing along piers in parallel/concentric geometry Girder System Projects.  (Not applicable to Line Girder Projects.)

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

Removes bracing generated along interior piers.  Alternatively, bracing can be removed along specific piers (see NBPIER ).  If radial bracing crosses the pier line (parallel/concentric model), suggest omitting such bracing from the input file until the layout has been generated.  Then use the node labels shown in the layout to add the omitted bracing(See ADDMEM ).
