CSI Bridge provides a suite of analysis types integrated into a single workflow.

CSI Bridge is a structural analysis and design software developed by Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI). Unlike general-purpose finite element (FE) packages, CSI Bridge is tailored specifically for the modeling, analysis, and design of bridge structures. It combines the robust analytical power of the SAPFire analysis engine with a suite of bridge-specific tools that automate complex tasks such as deck geometry definition, live load distribution, and code-based design checks.

This paper distills the essential components of the user manual to provide engineers with a clear understanding of the software’s logic, from the definition of geometry to the interpretation of design outputs.
