Floating Forms
Assign and select menu forms have been enhanced to allow them to remain open for repetitive use.
Adaptable Modeling Tools to Create Many Types of Bridges
The bridge models are defined parametrically, using common bridge engineering terms such as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges and post-tensioning. The parametric model is managed through the bridge object model. The bridge object model is a finite element assemblage of components making up the entire analytical model including the deck sections, diaphragms, bearings, restrainers, foundation springs, superstructure variation, abutments, bents, hinges, tendon layouts and more. Bridge models may be analyzed using either a 3D refined or 2D simple model approach.
Wide Selection of Templates for Rapid Model Generation
CSiBridge offers a convenient and time-efficient approach to modeling bridges through the use of Quick Bridge Templates. They offer an excellent starting point for a model which can then be modified as needed.
