About the course
This course presents the complete SOFiSTiK workflow for bridge design projects using SSD and SOFiPLUS. Participants learn how to create a project, define materials, cross sections and prestressing systems, generate bridge geometry, apply actions and loads, perform linear analysis, evaluate traffic loads, manage construction stages and create design combinations.
The course explains modelling principles based on bridge axes, tendon definition, load management and mesh generation. It also covers design preparation, reporting and project archiving.
The workflow provides a structured foundation for reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and composite bridge projects following Eurocode requirements.
What you'll learn
- Create and configure bridge projects in SSD and SOFiPLUS
- Define materials, cross sections and prestressing systems for bridge structures
- Generate bridge geometry, axes, tendons and finite element models in SOFiPLUS
- Perform load definition, traffic load evaluation, linear analysis and construction stage analysis
