OpenBridge Designer

OpenBridge Designer is the industry's most comprehensive, all-in-one application for bridges. While competitors require you to use separate products for modeling, analysis, and detailing - creating disconnected workflows and risking data errors - OpenBridge Designer integrates everything into a single environment. Your physical model and analytical model are always linked, saving time and eliminating the errors that come from manual data transfer. 

OpenBridge Designer provides a seamless path from modeling to analysis and design, something standalone modelers cannot do. It includes all the capabilities of OpenBridge Modeler, plus the integrated power of Bentley's trusted LEAP and RM Bridge analysis applications. This means you can run a complete design and analysis cycle without ever exporting a file, ensuring your analysis is always based on the latest design model. 

No. It is a purpose-built BIM for bridges platform. Unlike general BIM tools that require significant customization and workarounds for civil infrastructure, every tool in OpenBridge is designed specifically for bridge projects. This results in a much faster, more intuitive workflow and the ability to create data-rich digital twins that are ready for construction and long-term asset management. 

Absolutely. It includes specialized, out-of-the-box tools for modeling complex components like steel tub girders, cross-frames, and stiffeners. This allows you to achieve a higher Level of Detail (LOD) with far less effort than generalist software that would require time-consuming manual workarounds to produce the same level of accuracy. 

Through seamless interoperability, which is a key competitive advantage. OpenBridge Designer can reference road alignments from OpenRoads, rail alignments from OpenRail, and geotechnical data from OpenGround. If a road designer changes the alignment, the bridge model is notified to update. This dynamic link eliminates the risk of designing a bridge based on outdated information - a common and costly problem when using disconnected software from multiple vendors. 

OpenBridge Designer is an all-in-one software application used for the detailed modeling, analysis, and design of all common bridge types. It integrates the entire workflow - from initial modeling to the generation of construction deliverables - eliminating the need for multiple disconnected applications and reducing costly rework.

OpenBridge Designer is built for the entire bridge project team. Its primary users are bridge engineers, structural engineers, designers, CAD drafters, and modelers who perform the day-to-day tasks. In addition, project managers and BIM managers use it to streamline collaboration, ensure data integrity, and mitigate project risk.
