About the course
This course introduces the workflow for modelling a steel footbridge structure using SOFiSTiK.
Starting from a practical example, you will define the design code, materials, and cross-sections before creating the structural geometry using geometric axes and structural elements. The tutorial demonstrates how to model the bridge deck, assign supports, and define loads such as self-weight. After building the structural system, you will perform structural analysis and review the bridge model’s behaviour.
By following this step-by-step process, you will learn how to create a consistent bridge analysis model and evaluate structural performance within a professional SOFiSTiK workflow.
Happy Learning!
