Virtual Classroom Featured LEARNing for the week of Feb 9-13

Don’t miss these upcoming Road and Site Design virtual classroom courses for MXRoad, InRoads, and OpenRoads. You'll work with practical, hands-on exercises and real-world datasets while interacting live with Bentley experts.   Visit Bentley's LEARNing events listing for course details and registration or to see more of what's upcoming in the weeks ahead.

MX Road Design (metric)
09 February 2015 – 09:00 UTC (United Kingdom)
Instructor: Alan Mather

This course teaches personnel who have completed the MXROAD tutorials provided as part of the software installation, to develop their skills in the creation of a road design. Live training courses are very interactive. Students will continually engage with the instructor to ensure a successful learning outcome that includes a course assessment.

QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads Technology
09 February 2015 – 09:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Sean Conway

This course is for both new users and users upgrading from previous versions of PowerCivil, Power GEOPAK, MX, and Power InRoads software to use the OpenRoads Technology in SELECTseries 3. You will learn to use the software to setup working files, attach existing ground terrain and aerial imagery, and define horizontal and vertical geometry. After completing this course we recommend you continue your learning with the QuickStart for Roadway Modeling Using OpenRoads course where you will learn how to model a roadway corridor and intersection.

QuickStart for Roadway Modeling Using OpenRoads Technology
10 February 2015 – 09:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Sean Conway

This course is for both new users and users upgrading from previous versions of PowerCivil, Power GEOPAK, MX, and Power InRoads software to use the OpenRoads Technology in SELECTseries 3. You will learn to model the roadway corridor using an existing 2 lane urban typical section with curb and cutter and sidewalk, control the pavement with geometry, and review the 3D corridor model. You will also model a T intersection complete with curb returns and side slopes using a civil cell. Finally, you will place pavement markings on the model. Before completing this course we recommend you complete the QuickStart for Terrain & Geometry Using OpenRoads course.

Terrain Modeling
11 February 2015 – 09:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Sean Conway

This course teaches how to display terrain models to view different source and computed features including boundary's, triangles, contours, and thematic height illustrations. You will also learn how to import graphic elements into terrain models, identify and fix terrain model problems, and combine multiple terrain models together. 

OpenRoads SIG - FAQs from Technical Support
11 February 2015 – 10:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Kevin McDonald

Learn about OpenRoads Models for the Real World.

Creating Centerline Geometry
12 February 2015 – 09:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Sean Conway

This course teaches how to import, create, edit, and view horizontal and vertical centerline geometry. After completing this course you will have a solid understanding of not only the OpenRoads centerline geometry tools but more importantly the design intent captured by the OpenRoads Technology.

Creating Ramp Geometry
13 February 2015 – 09:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Sean Conway

Create horizontal geometry for a cloverleaf interchange including loop ramps, loop ramp connectors, diamond ramps, entrance and exit tapers, edges of pavement, and shoulder geometry.

Ask the Instructor - InRoads
13 February 2015 – 12:00 EST (United States)
Instructor: Sean Conway

Instructor responds to questions from students regarding: * Topics covered in training courses which students have previously attended * Topics introduced in custom-work projects delivered to students Live training courses are very interactive. Students will continually engage with the instructor to ensure a successful learning outcome that includes a course assessment.
