πŸŒ‰ The century-old Quebec Bridge, the world's longest cantilever span, took 17 years to build. Louis-Martin Losier, a senior product manager at Bentley, recreated its geometry in MicroStation MCP and used STAAD MCP to run a structural analysis in days using a reusable, natural-language AI workflow. The goal wasn’t to create a perfect rivet-by-rivet digital replica. It was to build a geometrically faithful, engineering-scale reconstruction and see how far an AI-driven workflow could go with the right context, constraints, and tools. The breakthrough came when he stopped treating the agent like a genie and started treating it like a talented drafting assistant that needed a detailed plan. This shift paid off. That shift helped demonstrate how AI can handle repetitive drafting work, freeing engineers to focus on higher-value design decisions. It’s a compelling look at both AI’s promise and the continued need for human control in infrastructure design. πŸ“š Read how he did it on the latest Bentley Blog: https://ow.ly/NlPL30sXjQA #CivilEngineering #StructuralEngineering #MCP #STAAD #MicroStation #EngineeringInnovation #DigitalTwin #QuebecBridge
