BasicBarrier

This subassembly creates a two-sided New Jersey barrier on a roadway surface.

This subassembly is one of a group of Getting Started subassemblies used for simple roadway modeling, and for tutorial and training purposes.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the center of the bottom of the barrier.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4 : 1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a “%” sign.
