The bridge modeler provides design templates for conventional deck-section types, including flat slab, concrete box girder, and steel girder with a cast-in-place deck. Modeling decks not available through the bridge modeler must be done with direct methods. The advanced modeling features available for direct bridge-deck modeling include the following:
...
- Use shell elements to develop the bridge deck cross section.
- Extend Extrude the shell elements into solid elements by extruding the cross section along bridge layout lines using the Edit > Extrude > Extrude Areas to Solids option.
