![]() ![]() With a single button click, the user can determine if the design is successful (i.e., if it passes the load test) and if it is optimal (i.e., if its cost is as low as possible). The Bridge Designer’s integral simulation, animation, and real-time cost calculation features enhance learning by providing on-demand feedback. ![]() ![]() minimizing the cost of the design, by adjusting member properties or modifying the geometry of the structure.graphically modifying the design to strengthen any inadequately designed members and.displaying a 3-D animation of the load test, with members color-coded to indicate tension (blue) and compression (red).running a simulated load test of the structure to determine if it is strong enough to carry a standard, code-specified highway loading.defining the material and mechanical properties of each member in the structure.graphically creating a structural model.The software guides the user through the processes of: The Bridge Designer has the look and feel of an industry-standard computer-aided design (CAD) package but is much easier to use.
