Building Bridges Faster and Better with Allplan Bridge 2025
The Allplan Bridge 2025 is a parametric 3D modelling software which provides open solutions for the Building Information Modelling (BIM). The Allplan Bridge 2025 software has been tailored for bridge engineering. In addition, this 3D modelling software also helps to create complex geometries along with a higher level of detailing.
The Allplan Bridge 2025 helps to design pre-stressed bridges, which have been widely used among concrete bridges. The Allplan Bridge 2025 helps to calculate the detailed tendon geometry by using an intelligent algorithm, which helps to minimise the friction losses in the stressing process.
Discuss the features of the Allplan Bridge
The Allplan Bridge software helps to create the accurate geometry of the precast girder bridges. The Allplan Bridge software offers different design features, which are as follows:
Provide code-based designs
With the help of the Allplan Bridge software, the users are able to perform the code-dependent design tasks, which help to determine the required reinforcement content for the bridges. The 3D interaction surface feature of the Allplan Bridge software helps to provide detailed information about the girder capacity of the bridges.
Defining traffic loads
The Allplan Bridge software also helps to define the traffic loads in a very comfortable way. This 3D modelling software also helps to apply the traffic loads automatically in accordance with the selected standards. In addition, the Allplan Bridge also enable the users to consider any kind of moving loads on the bridge structure.
Influence lines for moving load analysis
The Allplan Bridge has the moving load analysis capacity, which helps to consider the most unfavourable effects due to the traffic on the bridges. This approach has been developed on the basis of the theory of related influence lines, which enable users to perform easy and fast calculations.
Tendon modelling
The Allplan Bridge software also provides several design workflows for modelling the tendon geometry. This feature helps to make the design model of a wide range of pre-stressing types easy. With the help of the Allplan Bridge software, the users are able to define the 3D tendon points, as well as define the tendon tangents in 3D space. This helps to represent the basis for calculating the tendon geometry.
Load visualisation feature
The Allplan Bridge software helps to apply different loads on the construction structure. In this context, the superimposed dead loads have been derived automatically from the geometrical systems with the help of the Allplan Bridge software. These loads can be applied in 3D and transferred to the analysis model automatically, which has been clearly visualised by the users.
Enhancing the view options
The Allplan Bridge software helps to create and calculate complex 3D parametric models, which have been displayed in two different views. In this context, the first view helps to visualise the geometrical model along with all the details, and the second view helps to derive the analytical model automatically, which helps to reduce the statistically relevant components. These view options help to provide a large amount of information by displaying the geometric bridge models. There is also the “hide objects from the view” option, which helps to display only those parts of the structure in which the users are interested.
Deriving an analysis model
The Allplan Bridge software helps to derive the analysis model automatically from the geometrical model. This feature enables users to share the design model along with other analytical solutions.
Creep, shrinkage, and relaxation feature
The Allplan Bridge software helps to calculate the creep and shrinkage of the concrete. In addition, the Allplan Bridge software is involved in the relaxation of the prestressing steel.
Precise placement of the piers
The Allplan Bridge software also enables users to select the input which is more appropriate for their design, which helps to adjust the pier geometry more precisely.
Precise and rapid modelling feature
The Allplan Bridge software helps to generate the precast girder by using the new element type “Link Girder”. This helps to generate the precast grinders more precisely and rapidly.
Solving real-world engineering scenarios
The Allplan Bridge software also helps to generate a template, in which the geometry of the bridge, along with detailed information, has been included, thus providing the solutions for real-world engineering scenarios.

Increased project collaboration feature
The e IFC 4.3 schema of the Allplan Bridge software helps to increase the previous structure of the product, which helps to explain the taxonomy of a specific domain of bridges. This domain of bridges helps to represent the respective bridge elements, for example, pier, foundation, deck, superstructure and other parts. This feature includes the description of the geometry, bridge types or materials, which helps to improve the IFC model, thus achieving smoother BIM Coordination in the bridge projects between all involved project members.
