  • Bridge beams and concrete deck

    Hi, Here in Australia we would like to use AECOsim to model bridges (for it's building information data properties): - Precast concrete bridge girders - Cast in situ concrete deck slabs Currently we model a bridge in 3D using general Microstation…
  • Timber causing Material error in STAAD Output?

    I'm modeling a 3 stringer short span timber bridge in staad. The model consists of the three beams and deck planks (which are modeled as Plates). All geometry, material properties, supporting, and loading have been assigned. There is only one error in…
  • Problem caused by beam offset?

    I modeled a 3 stringer bridge with plates. I created offsets for the beams, but immediately after doing that dashed lines extending out appeared. Could anyone explain what's going on here?
