All bridge structures are unique and inevitably tied to a number of geometric and analytical challenges that arise during the bridge modelling process.
Bridge types range from simple crossings to large-scale structures, connecting whole continents. This places distinctive and highly demanding requirements on suitable bridge construction software, whether used for bridge modelling or calculation. State-of-the-art bridge engineering software needs to address manifold issues such as the building/construction history, manufacturing processes, hybrid models, loads and combinations as well as conformity to numerous internationals standards.
SOFiSTiK software solutions for bridge design reliably support structural engineers all over the world in the challenges of bridge planning. Our specialized software tools cover almost every software-aided aspect of bridge design projects, from the very first preliminary draft through to the detailed design, and from 3D BIM models up to formwork and reinforcement planning.
Our thoughtfully engineered and precise bridge design solutions are designed to let you focus on what really matters.
BIM readiness and 3D modelling
Cost-effectiveness
Quality of calculation
The SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler is a powerful Autodesk® Revit® extension for creating axis-based, parametric BIM models (bridges, tunnels, support walls, etc.).
Your high-end packages for all requirements of structural and bridge engineering, ranging from standard bridges over small geometrically complex shell structrues to large-scale cantilever, cable-stayed and suspension bridges.
SOFiSTiK Reinforcement (RC) with the apps Reinforcement Detailing and Reinforcement Generation is your powerful BIM package for 3D reinforcement and plan derivation with Autodesk® Revit® in one product.
SOFiCAD
is the proven, time-tested
solution for 2D reinforcement planning in AutoCAD
(also available with integrated AutoCAD OEM core).
The tool for classic 2D design.
Flexible formats for BIM in bridge construction
Remain completely flexible for diverse (BIM) workflows with our (open) interfaces to various systems.
Seamless processes for efficient planning
SOFiSTiK supports the entire planning/design process - from model creation and calculation through to formwork and reinforcement planning.
Adaptable and individual
No matter whether independent engineer or global player in the field of bridge engineering - we have the fitting solution
for your needs.
"For us, SOFiSTiK is above all a reliable partner for BIM implementation."
Gustavo Cosenza, Emch+Berger Weimar GmbH
“We see working on a Model that not only contains all the necessary information, but also allows us the possibility to create section drawings, as a major quality improvement.”
Markus Leschanz, Engineering Office ste.p ZT-GmbH
"It seems that SOFiSTiK is listening to it ́s customers, so that new versions of SBiM have functionalities that were asked for, so it’s one more reason to be happy.”
Filip Andabaka, Institut IGH, d.d., Zagreb
Building Bridges in Revit
- Part 1 -
Get to know the basic workflow and the general functionalities of the SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler. The tool allows you to model even complex parametric structures in Autodesk® Revit®.
Analysis of Cable Stayed Bridges
In this webinar, you will learn about the determination of cable and initial jacking forces at the time of installation to obtain the desired geometry as well as the calculation of member forces at the stage of traffic opening.
Modelling of Multi-Girder Precast Bridges in SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler
Definition and Detailing of Bridge Axis and Concrete Precast Girders.
In this extensive bridge design training, we guide you through a complete workflow for bridge design using SOFiSTiK FEM software. The project we work on is a parametric, prestressed bridge, built in multiple construction stages.
