AECOsim has disappeared from Learnserver (learn.bentley.com)

Hi all,

I have noticed that all the AECOsim related learning material has disappeared from the learn server (learn.bentley.com). Has this been done by mistake? It was a very helpful source of information that should be always available.

As you can see, AECOsim has disappeared from the left side pannel.

Please if someone else from Bentley can do something about it, we were using these resource to self-teach ourselves.

Thanks,!

  • Hi mkb,

    As initially announced at YII, "AECOsim" has been rebranded as "OpenBuildings" so that is what you will need to enter in the search field.  FWIW, this is the same across similar pages such as Software Downloads - typing "aecosim" will return OpenBuildings.    Note that the existing products are still AECOsim Building Designer since they've already shipped, though that will change beginning with CONNECT Edition Update 5.

  • Thanks. I was not aware of this change, and think some of the userbase is not (at least what I asked around and I work with a couple of people who are Microstation or AECOsim users for years). 

    As of now, if you type "aecosim" in the search box OpenBuildings does not show up, just "AECOSim Building Designer Trial".

    This is only my feedback and something I think could be corrected.

    A better solution would be to rename "OpenBuildings" to "OpenBuildings (previously AECOSim Building Designer", that way both results will appear in the search box. Or at least add some text in bold letters that clearly says that AECOSim has been renamed.

    Thanks for the answer, Steve ;)

  • Thanks, mkb.   We do have a few LEARN folks perusing this forum so they may be able to better address how the search function works in a case like this where a product(s) has been rebranded.    FWIW, this is new for support folks too.   Slight smile

    Let's tell it openly: There is nothing like "search function" available in Bentley LEARN server, when evaluated what "search web content" means today. It's more like index-based option menu designed around end of previous century.

    Bentley webs unfortunately often represent how web design and UX should not be implemented, but Bentley LEARN server is the worst. No way to find anything meaningful in seconds (no full text search is multiplied by extreme slowness) directly, but step by step selection has to be narrowed hoping it will lead to expected results.

    Even from many Bentley people I have received direct links to trainings because "it's a bit complicated to find it" :-(

    With regards,
