#Bentley15 Trainers Talk Civil Product Update and Beyond in Seattle

Are you ready for what’s next in Bentley Civil software?  Derricke Gray and Ian Rosam kicked off the Road & Site LEARNing Conference today, spotlighting soon-to-be-released SELECTseries 4 maintenance updates, Bentley Civil releases---including a revamped Power Rail Track as well as the new Subsurface Utility Design and Analysis (SUDA)---modeling enhancements, mobile platform strategy, and so much more.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store for you and your projects:

1. New Product Deliverables.

• Bentley Rail Track (SELECTseries 4): OpenRail – Brings Rail products onto the same platform as Road
• SUDA – Extends on SUE to provide storm/sanitary analysis capability; integrates with StormCAD (includes 100 inlet with OpenRoads), CivilStorm, SewerCAD, and SewerGEMS
• OpenRoads Enhancements – Terrain, Modeling, Interoperability, Support for Chord definition
• i-model and icm Enhancements – Civil Model object structure reflected in in-model viewing application; WYSIWYG Publish
• Modeling Enhancements – Key changes to Corridor Creation and Targeting

2. Mobile Strategy. Bentley Civil Mobile will introduce round trip data from OpenRoads products to mobile devices---beginning with Apple iOS, then Android and Windows 8 and 10. Among the many features included are: 2D and 3D information, redline and markup, field notes, pictures, videos, geo-referenced requirements, and more.

3. New Superelevation Engine. With a new XML-driven scheme, users can create their own formulas for Cross Slope Rate and transition length calculations, define special customizations, and utilize a broad set of predefined variables for equations. Additional benefits include creating lanes using a road template library, creating super from corridor, and editable superelevation diagrams.
