Case Study: Arup achieves efficient parametric bridge analysis with Oasys GSA

Arup streamlines 725m bridge analysis with Oasys Software

Arup, a global engineering firm, faced the challenge of designing the complex new A487 Dyfi Bridge in Wales. The original structure was inadequate for modern traffic and prone to flooding closures. To efficiently analyze the varied structural forms of the new viaduct, Arup engineers used Oasys GSA for global analysis within a parametric workflow.

The solution implemented by Oasys Software involved integrating Oasys GSA with Grasshopper and Speckle to create a seamless and automated parametric design process. This allowed Arup to quickly update their analysis model in reaction to design changes, resulting in a highly efficient design process with less duplication of effort. The engineers cited the workflow as an improved method they are now adopting across other projects.
