Module 01

Superstructure geometry

Define even the most complex linear structures in an incredibly simple, refined way, directly from the AutoCAD® graphical environment. From simple beam bridges to box-girder motorway bridges with ramp splits — and not only bridges: retaining walls, noise barriers, cuttings, anchored slopes and landslide stabilisation.

How it works

Define once, generate automatically.

To generate the superstructure shape correctly, you need a correctly defined horizontal and vertical alignment of the carried road and its superelevation. You enter both the horizontal and vertical alignment by selecting a line entity straight from the drawing, or by importing outputs from road-design software.

Define each cross-section edge with its own dependency relative to the bridge axis
Independent horizontal and vertical alignment of edges at any chainage
Group edges into Elements — join them up to achieve a precise cross-section
Simple definition of bridges in junction ramp splits

Atypical structures

Even the most complex structures, without compromise.

Easy Bridge® is a truly unique tool for designers of engineering structures. In it you can model complex or atypical structures — commonly needed even in cramped urban conditions — very simply and quickly: troughs, ramp splits, box-girder bridges with a changing profile.

Box-girder bridges with an opening that changes along the length
Widened and ramp-split structures
Any cross-section shape, including a trough
Motorway bridges with separated carriageways
Ability to tie edges to the terrain or to elevation levels

Setting-out and sections

Absolute control over setting-out locations.

Easy Bridge® includes built-in functions for setting out the superstructure. The designer chooses their own grid — and beyond it can add any specific locations: simply enter the chainage and the section angle. These feed through into the setting-out and into the drawn structure.

Your own setting-out grid + any additional chainages
Skew sections entered with a simple input, numerically or graphically from the drawing
For skew bridges, even a fan-shaped arrangement of sections at the start and end is possible in a few seconds
Smooth transitions as well as step changes in the longitudinal direction, exactly as the design requires
Option to enter working stages — phases
Dividing structures into completion units — e.g. retaining walls — is also a matter of course.

The tool's DNA

Precise geometry. Clean AutoCAD entities.

Easy Bridge® came about for the sake of precise geometry — no approximations, no simplifications that would come back to bite you later on site. Just as fundamental is that the outputs stay fully compatible with AutoCAD® even without our tool.

Mathematically precise geometry — superelevation, transition curves, spatial arcs with no approximations
All outputs are native AutoCAD entities (line, polyline, 3DFACE, solid, region)
Supplementary project data via xrecord, xdata — not via proprietary objects
The drawing is fully openable and readable even without Easy Bridge®
No vendor lock-in — your data stays yours
