The original architectural design of the Hans Wilsdorf Bridge required the development of a very complex SCIA Engineer calculation model.  This model allowed ‘amsler bombeli et associés’,  to make adaptations to the structure and by optimizing the position of the diagonals, introducing arcs, adding variation in thicknesses and steel grades, this bridge meets all the requirements of a modern bridge and a work of art. From SCIA by ALLPLAN.
