Design Bridges using Open Bridge - Level 2 - AulaGEO

Level 2 of Bentley Open Bridge is an intermediate level guide, where we move one step ahead of the basics of this software. Starting with a short theoretical session, we assume that you have basic know how about bridges, after quick review of some common terms we will get familiar with the interface of Bentley Open Bridge.

After brief introduction, we will proceed with an exercise in which we will create Steel Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model. In process of making this bridge we will learn multiple procedure like adding a bridge Model, support Lines, bridge Decks, Girders, placing and Modifying Piers, Abutments, Bearings and Barriers.

After successful creation of Steel Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model using conventional method, we will learn how to make the same using Wizard method which is way more convenient and gets results with just few click and inputs. Furthermore, we will look into field splices. After that you can compare both models at your own convenience.

After learning these two techniques for creation of Steel Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model, we will learn how to create a curved bridge with custom built templates of deck and pier which lead to our final exercise in which we will learn how to create a Segmental Bridge Model.

After completion of these exercises, we will learn how to create our own custom templates and save in library for future usage. Reporting is an important part once we are done with the bridge model so we will learn several tips, tricks and techniques to export different types of reports.

At the end of the session you can review the theoretical part where you can know more about the features introduced in the latest updates.
