Does anyone know of BIM software solutions for scheduling, estimating, and construction simulation that work with Bentley Architecture BIM?

Unfortunatley that great feature for cost analysis has gone since V8..

It was called 'variant' I believe...

Actually, it is still possible to do cost estimating with BA. The components in the Dataset Explorer makes this possible but in a very crude way. For this to work effectively, two things need to happen: 1) BA needs to work with a robust cost estimating program with a regularly updated cost database, and 2) the dataset needs to be organized in a MasterFormat because that is how quantities are estimated.
