Create Bridge Model 1

The document is a C# code snippet for a Windows Forms application that interfaces with the CSiBridge API to create and manipulate a bridge model. It includes functionalities to initialize a new model, modify bridge components such as bents and deck sections, run analysis, and retrieve results. The code demonstrates the process of setting up a bridge model, updating its parameters, and displaying results in a message box before closing the application.
