Bridge Design Training
This is a complete bridge design training by SOFiSTiK. The project we are working on is a parametric, prestressed bridge, built in multiple
construction stages. We guide you through every aspect of the workflow and explain all the steps in detail. This includes preprocessing, calculation and postprocessing. The used software is SOFiSTiK Structural Desktop, as well as SOFiPLUS.
To take full advantage of the training, we suggest making use of the accompanying
training material which allows you to simultaneously work on your own project files during the training.
