Cable stayed bridge modeling OBM or RM

Yes, you can do all the Cable Stayed Bridge project with RM Bridge. There is no cable elements in OBM and we are still working on it.    

im aware of that i am mostly looking for guidance as to whether try and do it all in rm bridge. (i know rm is more on the analytical side than modeling side so was not sure how well the modeling capabilities were in rm)  or should i just try and create the deck and substructure in open bridge modeler and manually create the towers and cables using 3d microstation tools) does rm have the same modeling capabilities as OBM? can you assign materials , drape an aerial over terrain, and create a rendering?

RM Bridge is not a CAD software. It is an Analytical Software for performing Bridge Analysis and Design. So, for drawings production it is always better to use OpenBridge Modeler and/or MicroStation tools. If you have the bridge model already done in RM Bridge, it is possible to create one *.dgn file with the wireframe structure and after open it in OpenBridge Modeler and continue the drawings production work and create renderings.

Please see the link below:

In RM Bridge all the required modeling capabilities are available in the Modeler section of the application.

There is a Training Example that can be used as input reference in the software.

Moreover, there is a new development called cable stay wizard that can be used for easy and fast input of typical cable arrangements of Cable-Stayed Bridge structures.

For sure creating the full model in RM Bridge can be faster than drawing it completely.
