Case Study: AVIDAN Engineers achieves precise bridge design and construction-stage insight with SOFiSTiK

Avidan Engineers Ltd streamlines Ashdod Harbor Bridges 3.1 & 3.2 delivery with SOFiSTiK

Avidan Engineers Ltd faced the challenge of designing the Ashdod Harbor Bridges using the complex incremental launching method, which required a precise balance of geometric control, structural analysis, and construction simulation. To meet this challenge, they implemented a digital workflow that integrated parametric design with advanced structural analysis using SOFiSTiK's FEA and prestressing analysis services.

The solution from SOFiSTiK involved a fully integrated workflow combining parametric modelling in Rhino/Grasshopper with finite element analysis in SOFiSTiK to simulate each launching stage, optimize prestressing tendons, and generate a full 3D BIM model. This approach significantly enhanced design accuracy, shortened project timelines, and provided deep insight into construction behavior from concept to completion.
