OpenBridge Modeler – Fundamentals

This course is designed to be a comprehensive introduction to Bentley’s OpenBridge Modeler bridge modeling software. The fundamental tools and workflows used in developing standard bridge types will be taught. This fundamentals class will cover the placement of abutments, piers, girders, bearings, and barriers, along with how to create new and edit existing components, and more.

OpenBridge Modeler has been improved regularly since its release. Bentley has incorporated the OpenRoads technology into OpenBridge Modeler, with many of the OpenRoads advanced features and abilities utilized in OpenBridge Modeler. This, along with the addition of new tools and improved workflows for the different components including tasks unique to the bridge world, has made the OpenBridge Modeler program a challenging package to master. OpenBridge Modeler utilizes the OpenRoads technology to provide a robust and dynamic user experience.

The goal is for the student to be comfortable with the workflows, tools, standard customization of components, component libraries, and reports to be able to generate a 3D bridge model.

This is not a design course and the analytical abilities of OpenBridge Designer will not be discussed. The structural program ProConcrete and custom component creation will also not be included in this fundamentals class.
