About the course
This course introduces the modeling workflow for a precast pretensioned girder bridge using Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, and SOFiSTiK applications. The content focuses on bridge geometry generation, parametric modeling strategies, girder arrangement, tendon definition, and structural analysis preparation. Participants learn how to automate bridge components efficiently with Grasshopper and prepare analytical data for further design and evaluation tasks. The workflow demonstrates practical coordination between geometric modeling and engineering analysis processes. The tutorial is suited for bridge engineers and designers seeking improved productivity in digital bridge modeling and parametric infrastructure development using integrated structural engineering tools and computational design methodologies.
