About Bridge Design

Autodesk Bridge Design for InfraWorks gives you the tools to model and design bridges in the context of your overall infrastructure design project.

About Bridges

InfraWorks supports Precast I Girder and Steel Plate Girder bridge types, which support different bridge deck, abutment, piers, girder, and bearing components. Default settings for these concrete and steel bridge types are represented by concrete and steel bridge assemblies within the Bridge catalog of the Style Palette. You can also modify these bridge styles, or create new ones to apply to your bridge. Bridges can be added to component roads using right-click menu options. See To add a bridge to a component road.

Note: Bridges are surface layers in the Model Explorer. Information such as the number of bridges added, total length of bridges added, and details about individual bridges in your model appears in the Bridges section of the Proposals Manager.

Review material quantities

Use the quantities tool to review material quantities for a selected bridge or individual bridge component. See: To review bridge material quantities.

Review and modify attributes

Review and modify bridge, girder group, girder, abutment, pier, foundation, and deck attributes in the Stack. Choose from a catalog of parametric component parts for abutments, piers, and pier foundations.

Author Parametric Bridge Parts

Use the Infrastructure Part Shape Utilities tools for Autodesk Inventor to create your own parametric shape templates, parts, and assemblies, then export those parametric models for use in InfraWorks bridge design. See About Parametric Bridge and Tunnel Components.
