Structural Bridge Design

Autodesk Structural Bridge Design software helps engineers achieve greater flexibility and efficiency in the design of small-to medium-span bridges integrating loading, analysis, and code checking processes whist providing an efficient workflow. This single integrated software solution does not require valuable time importing, exporting or converting data instead it provides tools to help accelerate project completion. Structural Bridge Design refines design options faster with automated updates in a define-analyse-code check loop whenever parameters change. Engineers can additionally improve accuracy and reliability by reviewing code check requirements with detailed “hand” calculation-style design sheets that are created will full formulae and code referencing.

Structural Bridge Design features
Section design
Define materials and geometry to produce calculations for bridge sections in a graphical environment.

Girder design
Define and design girder components in an interactive graphical calculation environment.

Loading, analysis, design
Use an integrated workflow for loading, analysis and code compliance checking (AASHTO, EUROCODES, and more) throughout the project.

Design calculation reports
Automatically generate calculation reports that incorporate relevant design codes.

Section design platform
Easily calculate section properties, including torsion, shear, and more, for any section.

Visual engineering
Understand the impact of loading conditions and design limits instantly to produce more effective designs.

Design calculation reports
Get full calculation design reports instantly in a useable, easy-to-check format.

Multiple analysis methods
Choose the appropriate analysis mode for the project stage: line beam, grillage, or finite element analysis, all combined with traffic load optimization.
