LEAP Bridge Steel CONNECT Edition V19

The Bentley LEAP product team is pleased to announce the availability of LEAP Bridge Steel CONNECT Edition V19 M1 (build 19.00.00.51) is a comprehensive software for 3D steel bridge design and rating application wither offers advanced physical 3D bridge modeling, design, analysis, and load rating of steel bridges, following AASHTO LRFD specifications.

What’s New in LEAP Bridge Steel CONNECT Edition V19 Maintenance 1 (Date: Jun 28, 2019)

We recently identified several important issues in the past market version 19.00.00.27 of LEAP Bridge Steel. Details of those issues are listed below. We have fixed the issues in the maintenance release v19.00.00.51.

- Incorrect load rating result shown as zero under Service II due to the nominal bend-buckling resistance (Fcrw) of the web was incorrectly calculated as zero.
- The shear capacity (Vn) was incorrectly calculated as zero when the slenderness (D/tw ratio) of the web without longitudinal stiffener is greater than 150.
- Incorrect error message popped when the cross-frame was deleted, and the change was saved.
- Lateral moment value was not shown in the Field Splice Design report.
- CONNECT License logging issue.


Streamline the design of straight and curved I-girder and tub-girder bridges with LEAP Bridge Steel’s computational 3D design and modeling. Benefit from the software’s advanced load rating and analysis capabilities, such as line-girder, grillage, and finite element analysis, which will enable you to evaluate steel bridges faster and deliver your projects on time and under budget. Maximize efficiencies on your next bridge project.

This video discusses how to create a 3D model of a tub girder bridge using LEAP Bridge Steel.
