MicroStation


MicroStation is a single, comprehensive platform for design and engineering projects and is the foundation of the V8 Generation of software from Bentley. MicroStation capabilities make it better suited for 3D modeling, data versatility, workgroup productivity and application development than any other design platform on the market. It is only through this single platform model that you can ensure interoperability and consistency among applications and the data created with those applications.

MicroStation provides an unprecedented level of stability throughout the life cycle of the constructed asset by providing a comprehensive approach to establishing corporate standards - whether at the user or systems level. The standardisation of settings, user preferences and workspace components provide a consistent and predictable environment for each member of the design team. MicroStation not only leverages a rich feature set, multi-format support and robust development environment, but offers an array of tools that allows you to work the way you think, and enhances your ability to work with others.

Bentley Powerdraft

Bentley PowerDraft is the premier 2D drawing-oriented solution for projects in all disciplines, employing an easy-to-use graphical user interface, intuitive viewing techniques and an innovative set of industry-recognised tools for production work and simple 3D production drafting. PowerDraft offers a strategic alternative for project teams, with complete fidelity with other MicroStation-based solutions Bentley PowerDraft reads MicroStation design files and AutoCAD .DWG and .DXF files directly. Based on the same JMDL kernel that is incorporated in MicroStation, Bentley PowerDraft runs both MDL applications and 100% Pure Java applets without modification, providing the foundation for advanced functionality. It can also be easily customised using MicroStation BASIC.

Bentley PowerDraft is optimised for Microsoft Windows configurations and provides QuickVision GL support for the interactive manipulation of 3D models in shaded mode.

Bentley Redline

Bentley Redline is the solution for project participants who need to contribute to the design process. Bentley Redline is a multi-function viewing, redlining and print-to-scale solution that extends the reach of design and engineering data. It delivers comprehensive design review, annotation and printing tools for both DGN and DWG content. Mark-ups are easily managed and integrated into designs, enhancing project collaboration and communication and allowing for an efficient transition from mark-ups to design changes. Bentley Redline also supports Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications environment for customisation. An added benefit of being a Bentley Select subscriber is your ability to use Bentley Redline within your organisation, and offer the application to your extended design team at no additional cost. This ensures that the right members of your project team have access to the tools they need to participate in the project.


MicroStation GeoGraphics


In the same way that MicroStation extends computer-aided design into an integrated engineering platform, MicroStation GeoGraphics transforms MicroStation into a comprehensive geoengineering environment with premier mapping, data collection, editing, clean-up and analysis tools. MicroStation GeoGraphics allows users to integrate engineering and mapping applications on a single platform and extends the data capture and editing tools in MicroStation with a solid database interface and spatial analysis functionality.

MicroStation GeoGraphics is a key engineering product that forms the foundation for geoengineering applications. It significantly increases user productivity and offers an easy-to-use environment for geoengineering users. With this engineering configuration, independent software developers can take advantage of high-level functionality to increase application performance and reduce development time.

MicroStation GeoGraphics leverages the power of an open Oracle Spatial database storage system. By allowing users to post, query and extract spatial information into this open storage mechanism, geospatial data can be utilised far beyond the users' desktop. Geometry stored in Oracle Spatial is Open-GIS compliant and can be shared with other Open-GIS compliant applications. Oracle 8i and 9i Spatial are supported as well as Oracle 9i Locator. Oracle Locator is a feature of Oracle9i Standard and Enterprise Editions that provides spatial object type storage, indexing and operations to support a variety of location-based services (LBS) and 3rd party GIS solutions. Oracle Spatial is an option for Oracle9i Enterprise Edition that provides advanced spatial features to support high-end GIS and LBS solutions

MicroStation Descartes

MicroStation Descartes is a comprehensive imaging solution for image mapping, visualization and raster-to-vector conversion projects. Designed for both production and visualization, MicroStation Descartes is used world-wide by engineers and planners in many disciplines, such as civil engineering, plant design, geoengineering and architectural design.

Part of the Geoengineering Product line, MicroStation Descartes is used by governments and utilities for mapping, imaging and spatial analysis.

MicroStation Descartes adds high-performance raster operations to MicroStation, allowing warp, reference, resample, mosaic creation and 3D terrain draping to produce outstanding image scenes. Additionally, MicroStation Descartes provides tools such as an integrated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Line Following engines, plus several tools to enhance and repair legacy drawings. Because MicroStation Descartes is tightly integrated into MicroStation, it can be customised to integrate in workflows where automation and interface modification is required.

Digital Interplot


Digital Interplot allows users to:

  • Create and store digital plots
  • Share plot sets with remote team members over the Web
  • Make legacy paper plots useful again by scanning and sharing with your enterprise
  • Reduce storage space and protect valuable plots from deterioration and catastrophe

Digital InterPlot is a server-based system for production plotting in your engineering environment. Now you can quickly and easily create large plot sets from complex engineering data in MicroStation, AutoCAD and industry-standard raster formats. When you are ready to produce your plots, a push of the button is all you need to print them to paper on any Windows-supported printer. It's that easy.

But beyond traditional paper plotting features, Digital InterPlot also plots electronic versions of your drawings directly into online repositories, where they will not be damaged by heat and humidity or other physical threats that typically harm paper plots.

And with the addition of Bentley ProjectWise Concurrent Use Licenses, Digital InterPlot lets you take advantage of today's Internet and Web technology to deliver plots to remote locations, where team members and contractors can view them on- line or print them to paper. No additional software products are required by the remote users, and there are many options to how the remote printing can be done - you can even print to original engineering scale.

Digital InterPlot is integrated with the Microsoft Windows printing system and works in conjunction with either Interplot device drivers or Microsoft Windows printer drivers.

Projectwise

Bentley ProjectWise is the AEC content management solution for the engineering office. Users can consolidate decentralised engineering content into a single presentation to ensure that all project team members have access to the right data when they need it. ProjectWise is designed to handle MicroStation DGN and AutoCAD DWG files, as well as other business file formats.

This three-tier solution leverages existing network infrastructures and provides a common platform for the management of content created by Bentley's portfolio of engineering applications. Related project documents, such as those created by Microsoft Office XP, can also be stored, viewed and annotated within the Bentley ProjectWise environment. This allows the creation and management of project content throughout the design and construction process, as well as the reuse of that content during the operational lifetime of the built asset.

Bentley ProjectWise users can publish content through the implementation of Bentley content publishing solutions for Web plotting, Web publishing and 3D model streaming.


Other Bentley Products

Other Bentley products not mentioned above include solutions from the MicroStation product line - a family of integrated products specifically designed to address the needs of engineering and design professionals, project managers and reviewers.
