SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler 2025

Introduction

SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler is a groundbreaking Revit plugin that supports BIM in Bridge Design and Detailing. This innovative application allows users to create parametrized 3D bridge models with ease, using alignment parameters and generic families in Autodesk® Revit®. With its parametric modeling capabilities, SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler streamlines the bridge design process, reduces planning time and costs, and ensures consistency throughout the project.

Features and Functionality

The SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler offers a wide range of features that make it a must-have tool for bridge designers and engineers. The software itself comes with a library of generic families for super- and substructure creation, which can be easily modified or created from scratch to meet specific design requirements and standards.

Users can create a 3D Bridge Axis using alignment information, imported external files (e.g. LandXML), or tables with coordinate points. The plugin allows for the creation of bridge superstructure components using parametric profiles and axis geometry, as well as multi-girder bridge components according to a given layout. Bridge substructure components can also be created using generic families, and a bridge component array can be generated along an axis based on a specified layout.

In addition, SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler enables users to create bridge equipment elements such as parapets and railings, as well as user-defined tendons. The plugin is fully parametric for axis, superstructures, substructures, parapets, and railing, providing flexibility and customization options for designers.

The automatic generation of section views, top views, longitudinal sections, and elevation points simplifies the detailing and documentation process, while quantities such as length, area, and volume from super- and substructure elements are easily accessible from the model. With this additional functionality, users can achieve a full structural design within the Revit environment.

Ease of Use and Integration

One of the key advantages of SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler is its seamless integration with Autodesk® Revit®, making it easy for users to incorporate bridge design and detailing into their BIM workflows. The plugin's intuitive interface and parametric modeling tools simplify the creation of complex bridge structures, allowing for efficient collaboration and coordination among project team members.

Furthermore, the automatic generation of section views, top views, and longitudinal sections streamlines the documentation process, saving time and effort for designers and engineers. The ability to create a 3D solid model of all structures using Structural Lines (SLNs) in the SOFiSTiK project enhances visualization and analysis capabilities, enabling users to make informed design decisions.

Conclusion

SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler 2025 is a game-changer for bridge design and detailing in the BIM environment. With its advanced parametric modeling capabilities, automatic generation of section views, and user-friendly interface, this plugin empowers users to create accurate and detailed bridge models efficiently.

Whether you are a bridge designer, engineer, or contractor, SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler offers the tools and functionality you need to streamline your workflow, reduce planning time and costs, and achieve optimal design outcomes.
