Marketing name: RM Bridge Cast V8i v08.11

RM Bridge Cast is mainly a tool for controlling the casting process.

It requires the SELECT license of RM Bridge Cast .

Based on the intended stress-less geometry described by the casting curves defined in the database file, the user can interactively use the program for adjusting the casting machine for casting the individual segments (placing the match cast segment, adjusting the soffit), for checking the actual shape after casting (detecting errors due to the casting process) and for considering these errors to correct them when casting the subsequent segments.
