Mesh density is currently controlled by the Bridge.MSL parameter, maximum length of the side of any shell element.
When building a model file, all of the 2 * Lanes * ULS number of point loads can be considered when building a model file, such that the model is not built for every simulation.
Method: Specify the positions of point loads when building the model, already supported. Because of the current method of meshing this may significantly increase mesh density and runtime, which is a downside. Therefore this optimization should be enabled/disabled with a flag.
