3-D INFLUENCE SURFACES: Influence surfaces can be plotted for

all displacements, reactions, forces, and stresses Multiple Display options are available Tabular data can be
exported Influence surfaces are used for moving-load envelope calculation
BRIDGE POST TENSIONING: Quick post-tensioning layout Tendons in frame, shell, solid elements Creep,
shrinkage, relaxation, anchorage slip, elastic shortening and friction losses Prestress tendons can be
represented as loads or elements for analysis Explicitly model time-dependent effects using tendons
represented as elements
BRIDGE LAYOUT DEFINITION: Quick Definition of Highway Layout Layout line definition for bridge
components and lanes using bearings and stations Layout line has horizontal and vertical curves and transitions
Super-elevation definitions
BRIDGE MODEL GENERATION WIZARD: Guided step-by-step creation of complete bridge model Detailed
instructions for every step Finished model is ready to run
PARAMETRIC BRIDGE CROSS SECTIONS: Quick definition of variety of bridge cross sections Concrete box
girder sections Concrete tee beam sections tSeel composite bridge sections Section parameters can vary
along length of bridge Automatic generation of frame (spine), shell or solid model from parametric section
Model automatically updates with change in parameters Easily switch between different types of models
BRIDGE LANE DEFINITION: Quick definition using bridge layout line or existing frames Lane width effects
Auto application of lane loads to bridge structure Lane influence lines and surfaces
STAGED CONSTRUCTION ANALYSIS: Add and remove objects, supports, and loads in arbitrary sequence
Behavior may be linear or nonlinear Consideration of time-dependent effects: aging, creep, and shrinkage
Multiple staged-construction scenarios are possible
BRIDGE RESULTS AND DESIGN: AASHTO LFD and LRFD design checks Influence lines and surfaces display
Forces and stresses along and across bridge Displacement plots Animated stress plots Graphical and
tabulated outputs
ADVANCED ANALYSIS OPTIONS: Pushover analysis using fiber models Isolators, dampers, plasticity,
contact-friction Pounding effects at skewed abutments Buckling analysis P-delta and large deflections
Nonlinear cables Nonlinear dynamics by modal, implicit, or explicit methods Frequency-domain analysis
All analyses use the same model!
