Allplan is the innovative BIM Software for Bridge Engineering, which offers Users a complete solution for geometry, analysis, design & detailing of any Bridge Type.
Work with a single solution from parametric model creation with a high level of detail, including prestressing, to integration of the construction process, structural analysis, reinforcement design and detailing.
Adopt Data from existing design (using LandXML data format) or define manually
Define any cross-section and determine the geometry with its dependencies and variables. These parametric cross-sections can be adapted at any time and saved as a template to be reused.
Repetitive profiles such as longitudinal stiffeners for steel and composite cross-sections can be easily positioned parametrically.
Changes can be made at any time & dependent objects are automatically adjusted with the complete parametric model in Allplan Bridge
Pre- and Post Tension - internal, external, vertical or transversal any geometry with interactive and flexible input. Modifications are possible at any design stage.
Time as the 4th dimension is covered in Allplan Bridge by easily specifying the construction process. The construction plan is divided into several phases and further into individual tasks. The related structural components are interactively assigned to these tasks.
With some minor analysis relevant definitions, the geometrical model is complemented, and the analytical model can be generated automatically. This automated process is completely user controlled.
Creep, Shrinkage of Concrete and Relaxation of Prestressing is calculated code compliant and all necessary calculation definitions like load cases, element activations are set up in an automated process.
Dead Loads like Sidewalks, Road Pavement etc are automatically retrieved from the geometrical model, while additional Loads like temperature change, wind or traffic loads can be defined and applied easily.
The natural modes of the structure are calculated on the undamped system by determining the roots of the homogeneous equation system.
A global static analysis based on the Bernoulli beam theory is performed for all manually defined and automatically generated calculation actions in the previously defined construction schedule
Objects from the ALLPLAN Engineering library can be referenced in ALLPLAN Bridge to add further details such as lamp posts or anchor devices of tendons to the bridge model.
The parametric model description is an ideal base for adapting design changes for geometrical and analytical model.
Powerful 3D modeling functionality allows to implement all bridge details without compromise.
With ALLPLAN, even challenging bridges with double curvature and varying cross-sections are reinforced conveniently and rapidly. Various rules can be defined, such as how the reinforcement joints are to be carried out.
Create Drawings, elevations, longitudinal sections along any path and transverse sections are derived from the digital bridge model. ALLPLAN’s powerful layout and design tools are used to create high-quality construction documentation.
The digital bridge model contains a multitude of information. Comprehensive reports with dimensions, areas, volumes, weights and quantities are available at the touch of a button.
With the combination of ALLPLAN and the cloud-based BIM platform ALLPLAN Bimplus, everyone involved has access to the latest design, anytime, anywhere and with any device.
