Obtaining supporting reactions of traffic loads defined in traffic loder

[AbhishekP]

Hi,
I have defined the train load using traffic loader. Now I need to check the reaction at pier base (support reaction) for load groups defined in traffic loader ( from gr 11 to gr 27). Can anyone suggest a simple method to get reactions at the support without using Teddy (if possible) for the defined load groups. Also how to include this traffic loader forces in load combination.

See answer in post

Obtain reactions and forces from traffic loader to sofiload in simple method

For several reasons it is not possible to evaluate support reactions with the trafic loader. Simply replace rigit support by supporting spring elements. It is possible to evaluate the reations of support springs. Further on I recommend to use additional result sets (RSET) to get the corresponding results for a group of springs representing the pier support. Please have a look inside our online bridge training video. For modelling the springs: https://info2.sofistik.de/en-bridge-design-traini…
