&lt;td&gt;AECOsim Building Designer&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Version(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10.00.00.154; 10.00.00.35&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Environment:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;N/A&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Area:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;General&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Installation&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Question&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When installing AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition, the installer dialog includes references to other &amp;quot;Companion&amp;quot; products.&amp;nbsp; What are these?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/2080x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/ABD_2D00_CE_5F00_U2_5F00_Update_2D00_Installer_5F00_01a.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Answer&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These options simplify the task of installing additional products during the AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition installation process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Companion Features option allows you to install GenerativeComponents Extension and/or Descartes as integrated features available from within AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Companion Applications option allows&amp;nbsp;you to download and install Bentley LumenRT on-demand as a separate application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In future releases the products available as Companion Features and Companion Applications may be subject to change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Descartes&amp;nbsp;requires a separate license independent of AECOsim Building Designer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition Update 2,&amp;nbsp;when installed, LumenRT will run in Designer Mode at no additional cost to all Bentley CONNECT subscribers. The full functionality of LumenRT will be available if a separate LumenRT license is available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The GenerativeComponents Extension, while also licensed,&amp;nbsp;is a SELECT subscription benefit (the standalone version of GenerativeComponents continues to be a &lt;a href="https://www.bentley.com/en/products/product-line/modeling-and-visualization-software/generativecomponents"&gt;free download&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If GenerativeComponents is selected, a separate shortcut will be added to the start menu to start AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition with GenerativeComponents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Question&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Answer&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These options simplify the task of installing additional products during the AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition installation process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In EAP 1, the Companion Features option allows you to install GenerativeComponents Extension and/or Descartes as integrated features available from within AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Companion Applications option allows&amp;nbsp;you to download and install Bentley LumenRT on-demand as a separate application. In future releases the products available as Companion Features and Companion Applications may be subject to change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: Descartes and LumenRT both require a separate license independent of AECOsim Building Designer.&amp;nbsp; The GenerativeComponents Extension, while also licensed,&amp;nbsp;is a SELECT subscription benefit (the standalone version of GenerativeComponents continues to be a &lt;a href="https://www.bentley.com/en/products/product-line/modeling-and-visualization-software/generativecomponents"&gt;free download&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
