Coding Sample
Sample application code utilizing the C# programming language on the .NET platform is provided for automating Structural Bridge Design programmatically.
If you have an interest in becoming even more productive, the sample application provides access to the design section and beam parameters. It also provides an example of modifying these parameters, running analysis, and retrieving key results in a fast and automated way, without the need to open the Autodesk Structural Bridge Design (SBD) application.
Note: Automation covers Eurocode (all variants), Australian Standard and AASHTO LRFD design codes.
There are two solutions provided:
SBDAutomation - containing 3 examples:
- Example 1: Modifying an existing JSON file containing a circular reinforced concrete pile, running biaxial bending analysis and crack width calculations
- Example 2: Building a complete Design Section from scratch, demonstrating how to create section elements, reinforcement, and loading programmatically
- Example 3: Beam Analysis with CSV Export - running SBD automation on a design beam model, extracting beam bending analysis results plus other parameters, and converting results to CSV format
SBDAutomation-Mathcad - containing an example for exporting Structural Bridge Design automation output into Mathcad® worksheet files.
