At this point, you either have a template or a basic set up. In either case, the first step is to make a joint. You can do this by selecting the dot tool and clicking in places where you wish to have a joint. If you are using a template then you can make the dots in the position noted by the empty circles. Once you have your joints, you will need to make members. [ metal bars that are "members" of your bridge :) ] You can do this by clicking and holding on a joint and then dragging your mouse towards another joint than releasing. You can use the joint and members to construct your bridge.
Overall, the simulation process in WPBD using a BDC file provides a powerful tool for testing and optimizing bridge designs, allowing designers to explore a wide range of design options and evaluate their performance under different conditions.
West Point Bridge Designer is a challenging engineering game where your goal is to design and build virtual bridges for the lowest possible cost. Unlike the simplistic, fun oriented bridge building game Cargo Bridge, West Point Bridge Designer is designed to be realistic.
