< SOFiSTiK FINITE ELEMENT SOFTWARE Bridge Design www.sofistik.com ro. 4 _ Bridge Design | ‘The SOFISTIK module portiolo is especialy powerful and versatile for the ‘advanced analysis and design in al fies of bridge engineering, Powerful graphical AutoCAD®-basad 3D pre-processing and interactive parametric input enable the user to control and adjust the model and the calculation to any demand. Analysis with nonlinear effects as well as economical influence line evaluation is possible. Searess integration of construction stage analysis, precamber determination and automated force optimization are available. Design code specific tasks are supported ranging from library of standard load models (toad and railway) ta special design and serviceability checks and assessments. Interactive graphical {and numerical post-processing as well as open interfaces for individual result treatment are part of this package which is used worldwide by lead ing consulting engineering fis, contractors and project joint ventures.
