    📝 Overview
     
    Prestressed concrete box girder bridges require precise modeling, efficient construction stage management, and rigorous design verification. This webinar demonstrates how the API can be utilized to automate key aspects of the bridge design workflow, from defining bridge geometry and prestressing tendons to performing construction stage analysis and extracting design results. Through practical engineering demonstrations, participants will gain valuable insights into leveraging API-driven workflows to improve efficiency, reduce repetitive tasks, and streamline the complete design process of prestressed concrete box girder bridges.
