The manual explains each dialog box and option in detail.
Components such as decks, diaphragms, and substructures are created using parameters rather than traditional CAD drafting, allowing for rapid updates. 3. Modeling Techniques (Parametric Modeling)
Name your sections, materials, and load cases logically (e.g., C30/37_Deck , LL_HL93 ) to ensure long-term model maintainability. csi bridge user manual
CSiBridge features a vast library of pre-defined parametric deck sections, including: Concrete box girders (single or multi-cell) Precast concrete I-girders and bulb tees Steel I-girders with composite concrete slabs Steel box girders Concrete flat slabs Substructure (Piers and Abutments)
Determines the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the bridge. The manual explains each dialog box and option in detail
) diagrams for individual framing components or the integrated bridge deck superstructure.
Start with a coarse mesh during initial testing to speed up run times. Switch to a finer mesh (e.g., maximum element size of 1–2 meters) for final production runs to ensure structural convergence. Start with a coarse mesh during initial testing
What you are modeling (e.g., concrete box girder, steel girder). The design code you are required to use.
