Can you please advise as to why this could be happening and how I can fix this? I am assuming that, even though I have selected "both" for the direction, this line direction will still model the loading incorrectly. I''ve tried instead defining it using the other methods (two-point/element) but the same issue is presented. However, when doing so, some of my elements seem to be defining the lane line in the opposite direction of all the other lane lines. I''ve tried to set this up by using the "number" input, by copying the element numbers from my girder group and pasting into the number box. I believe I should be using the moving load optimization feature to do this, as I have started to set up in my model (see attached). Currently, I am trying to model the 2 lane scenario, where the 3.0 m wide trucks will need to be placed in a 5.25m wide lane, and the lateral position of the truck varying to determine the maximum load effects on adjacent girders. Due to the driving platform width of 10.5 m, I will have to consider both two lanes and 3 lanes. I am in the process of defining the lanes for moving loads.
