CSiBridge Version 15
Significant Features
Computers and Structures, Inc. is proud to release the all-new CSiBridge. Now, the analysis, design, and rating of simple to complex bridges may be handled using a single program. Parametrically defined bridge models may be created using spine, shell or solid objects. CSiBridge incorporates a new ribbon-based interface that provides for an easy-to-use and intuitive workflow. All of the powerful features from SAP2000/Bridge have been incorporated into CSiBridge, and new features have been added: Faster 3-D graphics Steel-girder design Steel-girder design optimization Load rating for concrete bridges New international vehicles Hybrid steel girder Point, line, and area loading on deck Staggered diaphragms Import of layout lines from LandXML Detailed stress results for girder and slab in staged-construction CSiBridge allows for quick and easy design and retrofitting of steel and concrete bridges. Bridge models may be defined using ribbon tabs and buttons that use common bridge engineering terms, such as layout lines, superstructure and substructure components, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges, and post-tensioning. Lanes and vehicles can be defined quickly and include width effects. Simple and practical Gantt charts are available to simulate modeling of construction sequences and scheduling. Staged construction, creep and shrinkage analysis, cable tensioning to target forces, camber and shape finding, geometric nonlinearity (P-delta and large displacements), material nonlinearity, buckling, static and dynamic analysis are all available in CSiBridge. The AASHTO LRFD design is included for steel and concrete bridges with automated load combinations. Seismic design and capacity checks may be automated to include lateral pushover analysis.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later, Microsoft Windows Vista, or Microsoft Windows 7, 32and 64-bit versions. With a 64 bit operating system, the SAPFire Analytical Engine can utilize more than 4 GB of RAM, making it possible to more efficiently solve larger problems. Memory: Minimum: 2 GB for XP O/S, 4 GB for Vista/Windows 7 O/S. Recommended: 4 GB for 32-bit O/S, 8 GB or more for 64-bit O/S. The problem size that can be solved & the solution speed increases considerably with more RAM. Vista/Windows 7 requires more RAM than XP for the operating system itself. Disk Space: 6 GB to install the program. Recommended: 500GB or larger Hard Disk Drive (7200 rpm SATA) Additional space required for running and storing model files and analysis results, dependent upon the size of the models. Video Card: Minimum: Supporting 1024 by 768 resolution and 16 bits colors for standard (GDI+) graphics mode. Recommended: Discrete video card with NVIDIA GPU or equivalent and dedicated graphics RAM (512 Mb or larger) for DirectX graphics mode.
