The software has been a fabulous success in our middle school program and I plan on introducing the software to our high schoolers. Keep in mind, all this with children who in some cases have significant learning disabilities. First let me say what a great thing this is! You all have provided us a real-life opportunity to use some of the structural design lessons in a realistic manner. I have some students really pumped-up to do this. My students have been using the … bridge program for the past 3 or 4 years.
They love it. Whenever I do a Technology Education workshop I always pass out information on the bridge program to other teachers. I appreciate your contest because it helps [students] see the forces that are acting on the particular members of the bridge. The students say the software is user friendly and they have a lot of fun designing the bridges. Thank you for offering this opportunity to them.
This contest and software is a great way to introduce students to the idea of engineering trade-offs. A EUR million bridge design project was to design a replacement for a collapsed bridge in only three months, incorporating a simple design that included new safety standards on the same footprint as the previous bridge.
The era of 2D paper plans for roads and bridges may be coming to an end. OpenBridge Modeler Better bridges beginning to end. Throughout the project lifecycle, easily manage design changes with built-in, user-defined relationships among bridge components and referenced DGN models. Generate complete bridge geometry reports, including civil and bridge element reports, deck and beam seat elevations, quantities and cost estimates.

New Technology Bridges the Gap between the Analytical and Physical Model Alex Mabrich, Senior Application Engineer, Bridge, AM Bridge Design Advancements in 3D design software are now making it easier to bridge the gap between the model and the design and analysis, providing all the necessary details for an accurate representation of the structure in the real world.
This paper highlights the importance of maintaining control of your software in order for you to achieve the results you desire. Day, P. Featured User Projects. Huey P. After defining the deck elevation and support configuration, create a structural model by drawing joints and members on the computer screen with your mouse.
Each member has its own unique properties--material, cross-section shape, and size. You can define these properties as you design the structure--or just accept the default values and modify them later. Once the structural model is complete, click the Load Test Button to run a simulated load test of your bridge. This test will determine whether your design is strong enough to carry its specified loads, which include the weight of the bridge itself plus the weight of a standard truck loading.
This simulation includes an animation of your bridge as it is loaded, first by its own weight and then by the truck driving across it. If your design is strong enough, the truck will be able to cross it successfully; if not, the structure will collapse.
Note that, during the animation, the structural members change color to indicate how they are loaded--blue for tension and red for compression. If your bridge collapses, strengthen it by changing the properties of the members that failed--that is, by changing the members' material, cross-section shape, or size. Continue making these adjustments until the structure can successfully carry the truck without collapsing.
