South African Design Codes

Hi

I just want to make sure if I would be able to use a South African design code (TMH7 preferably) in the BIM Bridge Modeler? If this is possible, where can I change this or do I need to add it somehow? If this isn’t possible, why hasn’t this yet been added to the program and when will it be added?

Regards
Janco

Hello Janco

The SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler (SBIM) is not a design tool. Therefore you don’t need to select a design code. The SBIM allows users to create parametrised 3D bridge models using alignment parameters and generic families.

If you want to analyse a model, you have to use the SOFiSTiK Analysis + Design Tool or the extension to the SOFiSTiK FEA packages. With the latest SBIM version you can export drawings as a DWG-file with the command ‘analysis link’.

Overall SOFiSTiK supports the South African Standard code TMH7. The code can be selected within the system information dialogue.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards
