Benefits
Disposition
Bridge ID, Bridge Alternate, Structure ID , Structure
Alternate, Member ID and Member Alternate shall be
entered on all reports. A summary report for all current
Both and existing members shall be generated.
One comprehensive report that contains input and
output shall be created. Opis shall keep the last analysis
results but as soon as an input value is changed, it
should either indicate that the input has changed or
Opis
previous analysis results are deleted.
OpisSub Add tabular report navigation
OpisSub Include Wind data in the report input section

Opis
Include forces at field splice locations for splice design;
capacity and design ratios for steel; vertical and interface
shear; longitudinal reinforcement at tenth points and at
points of section change

Disposition
In the RC slab report display deflection up to 4 decimal points
everywhere; provide deflection due to sacrificial wearing
surface separate; no BRASS related enhancements; separate
dead load forces and deflections
Dead loads on Superload shall be calculated in the report
Need control to sort our reports by bridge ID, year or bridge
name
Generate analysis results in tabular form
Controlling member be added in the rating results from Bridge
Explorer along with material type, girder type, impact factor
and controlling point location. User shall be able to select the
Virtis columns to be shown

Disposition
Generate an LFD report for Girder-Floor beam-Stringers; option
to ignore spec checks at certain locations for rating purpose; It
will leave a note that the spec. check has been over-ruled at this
Virtis location by the user ABC.
Create a single file that contains input as well as output for
Both QA/QC purpose.

For culverts, summaries moments, shears and axial loads for
Both various members
