Is the OpenBridge design software RM Bridge capable of modeling a box culvert with springs for the foundation. Or do I need STAAD?
Is there a tutorial on how to model and analyze a culvert in RM Bridge? Can a link or PDF be posted here is so?
The RM Bridge Training Example at the link below is part of the OpenBridge Designer installation and it has the instructional .pdf document and the .tcl datasets:
8. FEM Plate Bridge - LARS | LEAP | OpenBridge | OpenTunnel | RM Wiki - LARS | LEAP | OpenBridge | OpenTunnel | RM - Bentley Communities
It's a FEM Slab bridge, but similar techniques can be used for a complete culvert structural analysis.
