Newly Updated Tutorial - Modelling Wearing Surfaces in PGSuper

PGSuper Users,
We just posted a newly updated tutorial that explains new features for modelling wearing surfaces in PGSuper. PGSuper supports several types of wearing surfaces, and each type has different implications on the analysis performed by the software. This white paper details the types of wearing surfaces that PGSuper supports, describes how they are modeled, and explains how each affects the analysis.

New Tutorial - Substructure Design Using PGSuper Professional and VBent

BridgeSight Inc has joined forces with our friends at Viathor to provide PGSuper Professional and VBent customers a powerful new way to integrate superstructure and substructure design.

Importing superstructure geometry and structural analysis results into VBent saves you time, money, and increases accuracy. This tutorial will guide you through the process of exporting data from PGSuper Professional into VBent.
