Bridges & Structures: Parametric modeling of highway bridges, from concept to detailed design.

Join our webinar to learn everything you need to know about importing horizontal and vertical alignment data, referencing surface and road alignment data, placing a bridge at specific stations emphasizing grading around abutments, leveraging custom bridge parts, rebar placement, exporting bridge models, and plan set production.

Learning Objectives: 

· Develop bridge concepts using parametric BIM.
· Perform design and structural analysis.
· Refine options in an iterative manner to detailed design.
· Exporting for 4D/5D simulation.
