Powerful Parametric Bridge Information Modeling
BrIM, the Bridge Information Modeler integrated within SAP2000, provides an interface for quick and easy definition of bridge models. The modeler allows a bridge to be defined parametrically in terms that are familiar to bridge engineers such as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges and post-tensioning. The modeler automatically creates spine, shell or solid element analysis models that update concurrently as bridge-definition parameters are changed. BrIM also allows quick definition of lanes and vehicle loading, including width effects, on the bridge.
