How to annotate K value of Parabolic vertical radius in profile frame in Power rail track?

Vertical design process in OpenRail

James Ransome — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 17:59:31 GMT

Hi All,

It seems as though OpenRail has lost some functionality in vertical design process, I will explain below:

The way BRT did vertical design I could see all of my verticals, all at the same scale and all in the same window, do a bit of CAD to annotate cut in points or spot areas to keep lifts/lowers to a specific magnitude and maybe even reference in the horizontal beneath to make it easier to find features such as Bridges, Platforms, S&C etc.... However, in OpenRail this functionality seem to have been totally stripped out and replaced with something that seems similar to what MX offered users, with a single window that scales in and out uncontrollably and can't be married up with any other vertical or horizontal, it seems a very blinkered way of designing a vertical alignment.

Is anyone else finding the OpenRail vertical design process somewhat lacking when compared to BRT vertical design process or am I missing some functionality in OpenRail?

If other users are feeling that the OpenRail vertical design process could be improved then please post on here with your suggestions or experiences.

Regards

James

BRT fails to open on startup.

I've done a service request on this but thought I'd put it out there in case there is a quick response / solution.

I observed a newer version of Bentley Rail Track on the select server so decided to download to update the older version I had installed. Running the exe file appeared to remove the old version and installed the new version which failed to load the BRT explorer window on startup. I have now removed all the Bentley products today taking care to remove any residual trails left behind (a clean uninstall).

I have re-installed on my Windows 10 laptop (in this order) Connection Client 10.00.13.17, Microstation 08.11.09.832, Powerdraft 10.10.00.23, Projectwise 10.00.03.49 and Bentley Rail Track 08.11.09.903.

Microstation, Powerdraft and Projectwise all appear to be working fine and together but opening BRT opens Microstation as normal but does not complete startup by opening the BRT browser window. Microstation appears to install the civil tools under the tasks tool and even the Subsurface Utility dropdown menu so things are happening. Can anyone advise what file I can run to launch this BRT window? I know the older Select Series 2 version could launch from running CivUstAT.ma but this file is no longer available and seems now the startup process is a lot more interlaced with configuration files.

Thanks

Steve

License usage control?

Hello!

In our company, we have 3-4 installations, but we use 2 computers.

In some cases other computer is needed, so we turn off the program wait 10 min, to turn on some other installation. But we have over usage added in some cases. Is there some little program that can maintain the usage so not to have over usage ?

Some kind of prohibition for turning on the program if there are 10 min since the program is used on some other computer?
