Object Based Bridge Design Module
The Bridge Design Module adds capability to easily model
complicated bridge geometry using Bridge Designer’s
terminology. Specifically included are:
- Layout-line definition for bridge elements and lanes
using bearings and
stations
- Layout-line has horizontal and vertical curves and
transitions
- Parametric cross-section definitions
- Cross-section parameters can vary along length of bridge
- Bridge definition includes spans, abutments, hinges,
bents and superelevation
- Abutments, bents and hinges can be skewed
- Post-tensioning layout
- Automatically creates spine (frame), shell or
solid-element models
- Structural model can remain linked to Bridge objects for
quick editing
- Display of integrated forces and stresses along bridge

Offshore/Wave Module
The Offshore Module adds capability to easily apply wave
loading to offshore structures and includes API design.
Specifically included are:
- Wave load generator
- API steel frame design
- API punching shear checks
- API Simplified fatigue analysi
SASSI 2000(Soil-Structure Interaction Interface Module)
The SASSI 2000 Module adds capability to export the SAP2000
structural model to SASSI (System for Analysis of
Soil-Structure Interaction) where soil-structure interaction
analysis is performed and then import SASSI results.
Specifically included are:
- Structural model export to SASSI
- GUI for additional data required by SASSI
- Display structural responses and time history results
from SASSI
- Use SASSI output motions to perform structural analysis
Heat Transfer Module
* Currently under testing, not
available
The Heat Transfer Module adds capability to perform heat
transfer analysis. Specifically included are:
- Steady-state and Transient Analysis
- Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Heat of Hydration
- Point, Frame, Shell, Solid elements
- Interaction with stress analysis
