Moving-load analysis is available to the bridge modeler for generating the influence lines and surfaces of vehicle loading within the traffic lanes of bridge and roadway infrastructure. Vehicle load may be created or selected from a variety of code-based standards, then combined and enveloped with additional static and dynamic load patterns.
Additional information is available in the CSI Analysis Reference Manual, Chapter "Moving-Load Analysis".
