Aecosim

Hi there,

I am new to the bentley products, learning Aecosim from the learnserver from past 3 months.

i am still not sure about the usage of "user" "project" "interface".

coming 9 years of experience in Revit, my little peanut brain finds it hard to digest the simplicity of Bentley product.

please help.

  • Hello Venkatesh,

    I know that feel, I had 5 years experience with Revit when I switched to ABD, is kind of hard to understand it at the begginingm because the logic is very different, but if you look at Bentley Design tools as a whole it makes a lot of sense. 

    When you work with Bentley tools it is very important to understand that they don't store data in the RAM memory (there are some exceptions of course), they store everything in the hard drive, so you need to specify beforehand "what" and "where" you're working with, and because of it's FEDERATED workflow, all the different data involved in a project is located in a separated file (you can multiple design models within the same file). This means that ABD needs to organize your directories in order to provide access to multiple users to the same project.

    I recommend that you try the CONNECT Edition of ABD, mostly because the interface is more intuitive and user friendly.

    Regards
