The highlights of version SOFiSTiK | 2024

What's new?

SOFiSTiK 2024 represents a groundbreaking leap in the world of bridge analysis and design, introducing a suite of powerful tools that will revolutionize your approach.

The all-new COMPOSITE module takes the lead, enabling engineers to perform precise plastic Ultimate Limit State (ULS) design checks. It introduces cross-section classification based on stress distribution, allowing for in-depth insights into structural behavior. Furthermore, it offers comprehensive resistance checks, ensuring that your bridge designs meet the highest standards of safety and reliability.

Our Dynamic Moving Load Train Analysis, in sync with parametrical modeling, offers an unparalleled level of accuracy. It features numerical damping and automatic timestep selection, guaranteeing precise results even in complex scenarios.

For those dealing with RC Bridge Piers, our CALTRANS-compliant Pushover Analysis takes into account P-Delta effects, providing a level of precision that is second to none.

And that’s not all. We’ve also made significant enhancements to SOFiPLUS, simplifying bridge modeling with improved geometry adaptability and group functionalities.

In essence, SOFiSTiK 2024 empowers engineers to take on even the most complex bridge projects with newfound precision and efficiency. It sets a new standard in structural engineering software, giving you the tools you need to excel in your field.
