How Fast Can You Go from Girder Layout to a Reviewable AASHTO LRFD Calculation Package?
Steel I-girder design rarely stays in one place. Girder schedules live in spreadsheets, distribution factors are worked out by hand, the analysis model is rebuilt every time a section changes, and the calculation package is assembled at the end.
Line Girder Analysis is a new MIDAS Civil NX plugin that streamlines the entire design process into a single, guided workflow for steel I-girder bridges, using MIDAS Civil NX as its analysis engine and following the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
In this session, we will walk through a complete design example of a three-span continuous steel I-girder bridge, demonstrating the workflow from start to finish.
The demonstration will cover:
-
Bridge geometry definition and loading.
-
Structural analysis using MIDAS Civil NX.
-
AASHTO LRFD Article 6.10 steel girder design checks.
-
Generation and export of a detailed calculation report in HTML format.
See how defining the bridge once, with every equation and clause reference visible, can shorten design iterations and make reviews easier.
