We are excited to introduce the new consolidated RM Bridge. Offered in three distinct product licenses, the new products provide richer capabilities and functionality for each product, and better align with specific bridge types, simplify licensing, standalone installers (no need to select/deselect modules), and overall provide a new cost-effective pricing.
Three products, specifically design to address various bridge types and advanced analysis needs, comprise the RM Bridge family:
RM Bridge is the basic application of RM Bridge family. This product is suitable for analysis, design, and load rating of concrete, steel, and timber bridges of all types: girder bridges, truss bridges, arch bridges, and segmental bridges. It covers the straight, curved, and skewed bridges. It supports over 20 international design codes. The advanced analyses methods include static and linear dynamic analysis, soil-structure interaction, time-dependent creep & shrinkage analysis. Support for unlimited number of construction stages makes the product suitable to address complex construction sequences. The product also offers Wizards for rapid model creation, interoperability with Bentley Civil software, and OpenBridge Modeler.
RM Bridge Advanced extends RM Bridge capabilities to non-linear analysis, FEM, Push Over and Time-History Analyses, High Speed Rail analysis. It includes the specialized Balanced Cantilever tool for easier generation of construction sequence for segmental bridges, and RM Cast tool for setting up segment geometry in the casting yard.
RM Bridge Enterprise includes all features RM offers. Extends RM Bridge Advanced capabilities to cable-stayed and suspension bridges. It also includes advanced hydrodynamic and wind analyses, and two specialized tools for advanced construction methods - Erection Control for shape adjustment during construction and Incremental Launching for building bridges overhead with no temporary support or false work.
The new product line RM Bridge CONNECT Edition V11 replaces the RM Bridge CONNECT Edition V10 product line and requires new SELECT licenses.
As the user of current RM Bridge and RM Bridge Advanced, transitioning to the new RM Bridge and new RM Bridge Advanced will give you access to more features with minimal changes in your annual SELECT investment.
If you own any one or more of Advanced Construction, Advanced Wind, and Advanced Cable modules, with or without Advanced Non-Linear and/or Advanced Dynamics modules, upgrading to RM Bridge Enterprise provide you with access to all five modules mentioned above with minor changes to your current annual SELECT investment.
We strongly recommend you to upgrade to the new RM Bridge products. Please contact Jeff Kroon (Jeff.Kroon@bentley.com), our Bridge Product Sales Consultant, for the upgrade options.
