246. Pro/Bridge Geometry Pro/Bridge-Geometry is a versatile bridge modeling system that enables engineers to use the basic geometric parameters of road surface and bridge components to capture the complete 3-D geometry of a simple or very complex bridge site. The system provides solutions to complex geometric problems that are difficult to do by hand, time consuming and tedious in nature. Such problems are often prone to errors that could lead to serious cost overrun and legal liability issues. It removes the geometric limitations in the design process and allows exploring better solutions to complex bridges. Starting from the digital terrain data, basic alignment and road data, the user can dynamically manipulate the basic parameters that control the layout and proportioning of bridge elements. The effect of any parameter change is propagated into the complete 3-D model and instantly updates screen views as well as all tabular and graphic reports. The system accounts for the variety of bridge types and component shapes. The system generates tabular reports such as screed elevation table and graphic reports as well as drawings such as abutment, piers, footing layout, girder layout, etc. Output can be viewed, printed and/or exported to packages such as AutoCad or Excel to finalize the generation of contract documents. The system is not a bridge analysis or design program nor is it intended as a replacement of CAD packages such as AutoCAD. Keywords: bridge; FEA (finite element analysis); parametric capabilities

264. RCAD Reinforcement RCAD is a new leading edge solution for the modeling and drafting of steel and concrete structures.

RCAD software is a solution completely integrated with Autodesk products and may be used with both AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop. As with all RCAD products, the complete range of AutoCAD/ADT commands are available at any time. RCAD Reinforcement is a solution that allows the fast and effective definition of reinforced concrete structures inside AutoCAD. The software has many "templates" that comply with the detailing practices of different countries around the world, to ensure that local detailing methods can be used and the appropriate bar schedules produced automatically. Several macros exist for the fast and efficient detailing and scheduling of "standard" structures, such as pad footings, staircases, beams and columns. As with RCAD Steel, the software benefits from complete integration with the world renowned analysis and design software ROBOT Millennium - thereby producing automatic drawings of reinforced concrete members that have previously defined in ROBOT Millennium. Keywords: integrated software; steel; steel detailing
265. RCAD Steel RCAD is a new leading edge solution for the modeling and drafting of steel and concrete structures. RCAD can be used in a variety of situations and, built upon the philosophy of integrated solutions, allows the user to benefit from a truly seamless integration of drafting, analysis and design. RCAD software is a solution completely integrated with Autodesk products and may be used with both AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop. As with all RCAD products, the complete range of AutoCAD/ADT commands are available at any time. RCAD Steel allows users to easily define steel structures inside AutoCAD/ADT. The software has a full library of steel sections from around the world and also has various "macros" built in as standard to facilitate the simple generations of standard details, such as connections, staircases and handrails. Facilities also exist to produce simple general arrangement details or even more detailed shop drawings. However, arguably the strongest part of the solution is the ability of RCAD Steel to integrate with ROBOT Millennium analysis and design software, thereby providing a single solution for drawing, analysis, design and final detailing. A typical practical example of this could be that the draftsman would set up a drawing in RCAD Steel, the engineer would then work on the integrated ROBOT file and maybe make some changes to the section sizes used and then the draftsman would benefit from a "seamless" update of the drawing file that could then be taken further to produce final drawings. The benefits, both in terms of time saved and also accuracy, are obvious. Keywords: integrated software; steel; steel detailing
