Bridge Specialization – Revit + Robot & OpenBridge – AulaGEO

With this course, you will learn how to take advantage of these tools so that the process of designing structures for bridges is faster, more efficient, and of higher quality.

LEVEL I CONTENT

Level 1 of Bentley Open Bridge is a beginner’s guide, where we learn the basics of this software. Starting with a short theoretical session, we assume that you have basic know-how about bridges, after a quick review of some common terms we will get familiar with the interface of Bentley Open Bridge. #AulaGEO

After a brief introduction, we will proceed with an exercise in which we will create Precast Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model. In the process of making this bridge we will learn multiple procedure like adding a bridge Model, support Lines, bridge Decks, Girders, placing, and Modifying Piers, Abutments, Bearings, and Barriers.

LEVEL II CONTENT

Level 2 of Bentley Open Bridge is an intermediate-level guide, where we move one step ahead of the basics of this software. Starting with a short theoretical session, we assume that you have basic know-how about bridges, after a quick review of some common terms we will get familiar with the interface of Bentley Open Bridge.

After a brief introduction, we will proceed with an exercise in which we will create the Steel Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model. In process of making this bridge, we will learn multiple procedures like adding a bridge Model, support Lines, bridge Decks, Girders, placing and Modifying Piers, Abutments, Bearings, and Barriers. #AulaGEO

After the successful creation of the Steel Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model using a conventional method, we will learn how to make the same using Wizard method which is way more convenient and gets results with just a few clicks and inputs. Furthermore, we will look into field splices. After that, you can compare both models at your convenience.

After learning these two techniques for the creation of Steel Girder 2 Span Straight Bridge Model, we will learn how to create a curved bridge with custom-built templates of deck and pier which lead to our final exercise in which we will learn how to create a Segmental Bridge Model.

After completion of these exercises, we will learn how to create our custom templates and save them in the library for future usage. Reporting is an important part once we are done with the bridge model so we will learn several tips, tricks, and techniques to export different types of reports.

At the end of the session, you can review the theoretical part where you can learn more about the features introduced in the latest updates.

LEVEL III CONTENT

In this level, you will learn a new way to manage your bridge projects using AutoDesk Revit and Robot Structure.

Revit software is the world leader in building design using BIM (Building Information Modeling), allowing professionals not only to generate plans but to coordinate the entire building model including design features. Revit is designed to include design tools for bridge structures.

When you assign elements to a project, you can:

1. Automatically generate top plans, elevations, sections, and final impressions
2. Perform static calculations in the cloud
3. Perform advanced calculations in specialized programs such as Robot Structural Analysis
4. Create structural and analytical models
5. Quickly create and document detailed plans
6. Improve your performance when working on a BIM model.

Course Orientation

We will follow the logical order in which you would develop a personal project. Instead of considering each theoretical aspect of the program, we will focus on following the workflow that best suits a real case and give you some tips to achieve the best results.

You will get prepared files that will allow you to follow the progress of the course from where you consider it most necessary by guiding you to use the tools yourself while watching the classes.

The course content is updated regularly to include important updates or points that can help you improve your learning and you will have access to them in real time so you can improve your continuous skills.
