The true power of CSiBridge lies in how it translates engineering objects into analytical models. According to the user manual, CSiBridge implements a parametric object-based modeling approach. This allows engineers to define the bridge as an assembly of objects (superstructure, substructure, abutments, piers, etc.) rather than manually drawing every finite element. The software automates the creation of the finite-element mesh and assigns properties accordingly. csi bridge user manual
