Bentley STAAD Powers Hyundai Engineering’s Smart Modular Construction Project

Hyundai Engineering has improved the design of modular transport systems and precast concrete structures by using Bentley Systems’ STAAD.Pro, along with the OpenSTAAD API and Command Editor, to develop in-house automation tools.

The software automates structural analysis, model creation, load application, and design of complex concrete components, reducing manual work while improving accuracy.

The new system cut module transportation analysis time by 75%, reducing two months of work to less than two weeks, while precast concrete design review time dropped by 83%, from 1.5 months to about one week.

By replacing outsourced structural analysis, Hyundai now saves more than KRW 750 million annually. Faster design also allows engineers to evaluate project feasibility earlier during bidding, improving competitiveness and helping optimize structural designs, reducing material use by over 5% and saving approximately KRW 1.5 billion per project.

Engineers have developed a methodology using PLAXIS 2D to simulate tunnels built with the Traditional Method of Madrid (TMM), offering a faster alternative to complex three-dimensional analyses. Used in the Madrid Metro since 1917, the TMM divides tunnel excavation into small sections, typically less than 5 square meters. Each section is temporarily supported with timber […]

How Bentley Software Is Helping Keep Mumbai’s Massive Sea Bridge on Track

Mumbai’s Versova-Bandra Sea Link (VBSL), a 17.17-kilometer, eight-lane bridge set to become India’s second-longest, is being built with the help of digital project management software designed to keep a hugely complex construction effort organized and on schedule. Once finished, the bridge will connect Versova to Bandra and is expected to cut commute times sharply for […]

Automated Calibration Streamlines Travel Demand Modeling

Automated calibration is helping transportation planners make travel demand modeling faster, more efficient and responsive to changing travel patterns. Traditionally, calibrating travel demand models required months of manual adjustments to ensure model results matched real-world data such as traffic counts, transit ridership and household travel surveys. Automated calibration simplifies the process by using optimization algorithms […]
