Drip Bar [SIG]

A drip bar refers to a structural element used in bridges to ensure the proper drainage of water.

General

Girder: The girder to which the drip bar is connected.

Station: Station along the PGL.

Top Bar

Length: This parameter is used to define the top drip bar's length in the transverse direction.

Width: This parameter is used to define the top drip bar's width in the longitudinal direction.

Depth: This parameter is used to define the top drip bar's depth in the Z direction.

Angle: This parameter is used to set the angle of the top drip bar in the longitudinal direction.

Bottom Bar

Length: This parameter is used to define the bottom drip bar's length in the transverse direction.

Width: This parameter is used to define the bottom drip bar's width in the longitudinal direction.

Depth: This parameter is used to define the bottom drip bar's depth in the Z direction.

Longitudinal Offset from Top Bar: This parameter defines the longitudinal offset of the bottom drip bar relative to the top drip bar.

IFC

Type: The IFC entity type for BIM export. Default is IfcDiscreteAccessory.

Predefined Type: The IFC Predefined Type is specified using this parameter. Available options include:

• ANCHORPLATE

• BIRDPROTECTION

• BRACKET

• EXPANSION_JOINT_DEVICE

• FILLER

• FLASHING

• INSULATOR

• RAILBRACE

• SHOE

• USERDEFINED

• NOTDEFINED

Parent [Bridge/Superstructure/Deck/Substructure/Foundation/Approach_Structure/Retaining_Structure]: The IFC Parent is specified using this parameter to define the hierarchy relationship in the IFC model.
