Indeed, the West Point Bridge Designer itself is quite similar to the computer-aided design CAD software used by practicing engineers, and it will help you in the same way that CAD software helps them--by taking care of the heavy-duty mathematical calculations, so that you can concentrate on the creative part of the design process. This is the only version of the software that can be used for the Engineering Encounters Bridge Design Contest.
It is now maintained and distributed by Engineering Encounters—a private, non-profit organization that is not affiliated with the U. Military Academy at West Point. Only members can download files.
It is provided and intended for educational use only. The Bridge Designer gives you the flexibility to create designs using just about any shape or configuration you want. Creating the design is fast and easy, so you can experiment with many different alternative configurations as you work toward an optimum solution. The process you will use is quite similar to the process used by practicing civil engineers as they design real structures. Indeed, the Bridge Designer itself is quite similar to the computer-aided design CAD software used by practicing engineers, and it will help you in the same way that CAD software helps the professionals — by performing all required mathematical calculations, so that you can concentrate on the creative side of the design process.
Formerly known as the West Point Bridge Designer, this software was developed in by Stephen Ressler for the national West Point Bridge Design Contest, which was conducted annually from to Originally written in the Visual Basic for Windows programming language, the 1st edition of the Bridge Designer had a good run, but by it had become essentially obsolete.
This Java-based 2nd edition is more robust than the earlier Visual Basic edition and can be used with both Windows and Mac operating Systems. Over 2 million copies have been downloaded since Privacy Policy Neither the Bridge Designer software nor this website collects or stores any personal information from users. Two separate, but freely convertible currencies for two wings should be introduced; or if this is not feasible, there should be one currency for the whole country, but effective constitutional provisions should be introduced to stop the flight of capital from East to West Pakistan.
Furthermore, a separate reserve bank should be established, and a separate fiscal and monetary policy be adopted for East Pakistan. The power of taxation and revenue collection shall be vested in the federating units and the federal centre will have no such power on the issue. The federation will be entitled to a share in state taxes to meet its expenditures.
There should be two separate accounts for the foreign exchange earnings of the two wings; the foreign exchange requirements of the federal government shall be met by the two wings equally or in a ratio to be fixed; indigenous products shall move free of duty between the two wings, and the constitution shall empower the units to establish trade links with foreign countries.

This is helpful to know while making modifications to your bridge design because if the values are less than the one you can still reduce the thickness or make changes to that member to make it more efficient.
If you are interested in building the bridge you just designed you can check out my next instructable:. Introduction: Bridge Design and Simulation.
By Dhruv Batra Follow. More by the author:. The program is program is free. Here you can see the template options if you choose the double cable anchorages. Tips: - I found that using a thinner, stronger but more expensive material can end up being cheaper than a thick, cheap material. Enjoy designing your bridge! Thanks for viewing my Instructable, I really appreciate it. Participated in the Epilog Challenge 9 View Contest.
