The user needs to specify the point in time when the equipment is installed, and consequently the load is applied on the analytical system. The weight and the position of superimposed dead loads (like sidewalks, road pavement, etc.) are automatically retrieved from the geometrical model. Complete transparency is granted, the user keeps full control of the generated items and result overview at any time of construction. This includes input data for calculating nonlinear time effects, like creep, shrinkage and relaxation. One additional analysis-relevant definition is the choice of generating a beam or a grillage model.Īllplan Bridge analyses the defined construction schedule and sets up all necessary calculation definitions in an automated process, like load cases, element activations and calculation actions. Hereby the engineer retains full control by specifying structural parts and those ones which contribute as load only.

This greatly reduces the amount of work and the susceptibility to errors. Thanks to breakthrough technology, Allplan Bridge 2020 automatically generates the parametric model from the physical model. This makes bridge design easier, faster and more precise than ever before. When design changes are made, all associated bridge elements – including the analytical model – adapt immediately. Allplan Bridge 2020, the complete solution for parametric modelling, structural analysis and detailing is now available for downloadįor the first time, the analytical parametric model is automatically derived from the physical model.
