Technical Capabilities:
 
Better bridges with true BrIM models 
Leverage bridge information modeling (BrIM) with OpenBridge Designer. With the latest bridge technology and capabilities, you can efficiently model, design, and produce project deliverables in a dynamic, interactive, and parametrically-enabled environment. This single application supports all aspects of a detailed bridge design including terrain, roadways, access ramps, and other related infrastructure assets. With OpenBridge Designer’s model-centric methodology, users will be efficient and reliable when managing changes to construction documents, such as clash detection, roadway geometry, and bridge geometry. Meet project demands on time, every time.
 
Multi-Discipline Collaboration
OpenBridge Designer provides the workflows, toolsets, and flexibility necessary to deal with real-life design scenarios. The application adapts to virtually any bridge design and maintenance workflow and is suitable for any concrete strength, volume, weight, structural steel grade, and beam type. Use a single product to create an interoperable physical and analytical model for steel and concrete bridges, which can be utilized throughout the bridge’s lifecycle. Perform analysis, design, and load-rating all in one environment to directly exchange project information, including bridge geometry, materials, loads, pre-stressing strand patterns, shear reinforcement, cross-frames, diaphragms, and stiffeners, to improve decision making during design and construction.
 
 
Create intelligent models, mitigate risks, and perform construction sequence inspections 
Produce intelligent, parametric models rich in engineering content for various bridge components, including concrete compressive strength, structural steel grade, standard beam designations, and more. You can reuse data from various stakeholders to ensure relevant, up-to-date geometry all within one model. Mitigate risk with conflict analysis by performing conflict analysis of bridge structures with existing infrastructure to eliminate errors prior to construction to save time and reduce costly rework. Additionally, easily perform construction sequence investigation by reviewing phases in stage-wise construction to compare results, detect relevant states, and produce result envelopes for evaluation to solve problems related to creep, shrinkage, and other issues before construction.
