Smart bridge modelling tool from Autodesk

According to Autodesk, its latest Civil 3D Bridge Module allows for efficient modelling of bridges and bridge components. The package is used in conjunction with Civil 3D and or Revit as an add-on module and allows the modelling of bridges for placement based on AutoCAD Civil 3D roadway geometry and surfaces. It can be used for modelling bridge decks, piers, abutments, bearings, and barriers. It can also be used for extracting strings such as girders and barriers to create AutoCAD Civil 3D profiles.

According to 685 Autodesk, its latest Civil 3D Bridge Module allows for efficient modelling of bridges and bridge components.

The package is used in conjunction with Civil 3D and or Revit as an add-on module and allows the modelling of bridges for placement based on AutoCAD Civil 3D roadway geometry and surfaces. It can be used for modelling bridge decks, piers, abutments, bearings, and barriers. It can also be used for extracting strings such as girders and barriers to create AutoCAD Civil 3D profiles.

The tool allows users to better define a bridge overpass in Civil 3D and can be used to transfer and refine the model in revit structure. It can also be used to create production drawings Back in Civil 3D.

    More than 3,000 vehicles a day pass over the US-95 Bridge over Lake Creek near the Coeur D'Alene Tribal Casino in Worley, Idaho, USA. The original deck, built in 2007, was poured concrete with a micro-silica layer added for protection. A QTT weather station with FreezeFree anti-icing technology is mounted in the bridge rail. With big variances in temperature and a lot of wind in this region, the original deck material became thick causing a near 80m length of micro-silica to over-harden. Idaho DOT engineers

    An unusual application of formwork took place recently in France, while formwork using one particular engineering construction kit was used for the first time in Poland. Guy Woodford reports An 80m long wild game underpass is an innovative feature of the Route Nationale 88 (RN 88) expansion in south-west France. For construction of the arched underpass tunnel, a PERI tunnel formwork carriage using VARIOKIT engineering construction kit was used. Thanks to the equipment’s easy handling, along with pre-assembl
