Allplan Bridge: 36 months - Subscription - Automatic Renewal

Allplan Bridge Modeler is the powerful solution for parametric modeling of bridges. The software supports bridge engineers in all planning phases, from the initial concept to the execution plan. A parametric description of the bridge model takes usability to a new level and allows engineers to work flexibly and quickly.

With Allplan Bridge there are three parametric modeling approaches (with the model description considering the road layout, bridge alignment and required cross-sections, making model configuration quick and efficient). The initial modeling method uses the 3D form of the axis for extrusion of a cross section to create an exact geometry. Cross-section parameters can be specified that vary along the axis such that complex geometries can be easily created. Alternatively, modeling of geometries not governed by the axis, such as those influenced by the substructure geometry - for example precast girder bridges, can also be generated easily with “Link Girders”. Finally, free parametric modeling enables an entire bridge or its sub elements to be modeled freely and parametrically in 3D space using volumetric primitives (prisms) and Boolean operations.

The parametric 4D model serves as the basis for the static calculation. The analytical model is automatically derived from the geometrical model. The defined construction schedule is analysed and all necessary calculation definitions, like load cases, element activation and calculation actions, are automatically set-up. This includes also the input data for calculating nonlinear time effects, like creep, shrinkage and relaxation. The automation accelerates the workflows enormously. Nevertheless, the engineer retains always full control. Furthermore, all other permanent and variable loads, like traffic and earthquake can be applied for the service state of the structure. Finally, all loads can be superposed into final envelopes and combined into combination envelopes which represent the base for code-based design and checks. All limit state checks can be performed once the reinforcement area has been calculated or specified manually. This enables the user to always accomplish economical design easily and quickly.

A complete 3D parametric bridge model cannot be generated more easily and detailed accurately with integrated advanced reinforcement modeling functionality.
