Allplan‘s bridge design experts have over 30 years’ of experience supporting engineers worldwide.Īllplan Bridge provides several workflows of modeling the tendon geometry and makes it easy to model a wide range of pre-stressing types: with immediate or later bond, internal and external, longitudinal, transverse and vertical, as well as with non-standard geometry. Thus aĬonstruction sequence can be easily defined and visualized. These can be transferred to Allplan Bimplus and linked with time-specific attributes. The parametric bridge model generated in Allplan Bridge can be subdivided into individual construction elements. This will benefit projects that have a long design period by ensuring project data is securely available for the duration of the project.įrom model to time planning. Allplan Bridge benefits from a built-in database that is continuously logging modifications as the project progresses. Allplan Bridge automatically adapts its user interface to the screen size and resolution and is ideal for the use in powerful high-resolution monitors. Furthermore, you can use Allplan Bridge on multiple monitors at the same time. This leads to an essential optimization of the working speed.
Compared to mechanical engineering CAD software or traditional 2D drafting, working with Allplan Bridge is very convenient and specifically tailored to the requirements of bridge engineering. Once the design is completed, the parametric model can be transferred to Allplan Engineering for completion of pre-stressing and reinforcement drawings. To assist the engineer even further, the bridge model can easily be transferred to analysis software for structural calculations. The bridge engineer must only take over the road data and can immediately start with the bridge design. Integrating road data used for road/bridge alignment is easily achieved via Allplan‘s openBIM
If only a certain structural member is modified only directly linked elements will be recalculated. For example, if the road axis changes the complete bridge geometry will be adjusted. The modifications are incorporated only at their origin and all other linked members are automatically updated. The parametric model description is an ideal base for adapting design changes. Allplan Bridge helps you to manage the inevitable changes that occur during the design process. A complete 3D bridge model cannot be generated more easily or quickly.Ĭhanges made in no time at all.
For example, the user only needs to define one typical cross-section and Allplan Bridge will accurately calculate all cross-section variants in accordance with the defined table(s) or/and formula(s). Complex geometries including double curved alignment and variable cross-sections can be created easily with the help of alphanumeric entries and formulas. The 3D parametric model description considers the road layout, bridge alignment and required cross-sections, making model configuration quick and efficient.
