Capabilities

Analyze and rate traffic loading
- Streamline bridge modeling, analysis, and load-rating for both existing and new bridges with an integrated toolset. Leverage various international design code specifications and rating methodologies for verification.
Capture roadway geometry and topography
- Reuse civil data obtained directly from Bentley road products such as GEOPAK, Bentley InRoads, or MXROAD, and import roadway information and ground data from LandXML files.
Coordinate multi-discipline bridge teams
- Exchange project information including bridge geometry, materials, loads, prestressing strand pattern, and shear reinforcement to improve decision making. Streamline engineering content management with real-time collaboration and share, reuse, and repurpose data throughout the bridge lifecycle to minimize risk of design error and construction issues.
Design and analyze steel bridges
- Model, design, analyze, and rate steel bridges, following several international design standards (RM Bridge), and AASHTO LRFD standards specifications (LEAP Bridge Steel).
Design and analyze superstructures and substructures
- Use a synthesis of geometric modeling, substructure and superstructure analysis, and design in a single information-rich environment to benefit from a comprehensive bridge model.
Generate bridge project deliverables
- Generate detailed reports. Create 3D models and 2D drawings for sections, elevations, and framing plans.
Sequence construction and phasing
- Investigate the different stages in stage-wise construction – comparing results, detecting the relevant states, and producing result envelopes for proof checking. Account for creep, shrinkage, and relaxation and solve problems before construction begins.
Visualize bridge designs
- Experience instantaneous 3D visualization of the bridge superstructure and substructure. Visualize designs and rapidly verify modeling input as you work. View in-profile, elevation, and cross-section views with solid and transparent view options to help explore areas with complex geometry.
