Helping to shape bridges in a better way

Create several parametric pre-tensioned and post-tensioned tendon types – with immediate and subsequent bonding, internal and external, longitudinal, transverse and vertical.

Allplan Bridge automatically generates the analysis model from the geometrical model. This greatly reduces the amount of work and susceptibility to errors.

Time as a fourth dimension is considered when specifying the construction process. Amongst other things it is possible to define and compare different schedules for the same bridge structure.

All permanent and variable loads are combined between each other into a final envelope. This envelope is used to perform reinforcement design and code checking.

The entire 4D model adjusts in the event of any change, such as in relation to the alignment. Hence, if the geometry of an axis changes, the entire bridge model is adjusted automatically.

Even challenging bridges with double curvature and varying cross-sections are reinforced conveniently and rapidly. Various transitions and rules can be defined, such as how the reinforcement joints are to be carried out, to enable automatic reinforcement generation.

From initial plans through to materials, quantities, and final general arrangement and reinforcement drawings - quality and accuracy to rely on, for stakeholders and construction partners with cloud based Bimplus platform.

ALLPLAN follows the OPEN BIM concept. Not only can the geometrical model be exchanged using numerous formats, such as IFC, but also the analytical model can be shared with other applications.
