Purpose: Used to set target live load deflection limit for design generation in Line Girder Projects. (Not applicable to Girder System Projects.)
--> Given in line girder design input
Maximum live load deflection (inches or mm) for generated design. During the optimization process prismatic flanges are selected for each web section. However, flange thicknesses subsequently are trimmed at tenth points where the selected flange thickness can be reduced. Thus, DMAXL is a soft constraint. Occasionally it may be necessary to specify a smaller limit in order to generate a design which satisfies the required limit.
