AECO Information Modeling and CAD Production Software

MicroStation is the world’s leading information modeling environment explicitly for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation of all infrastructure types including utility systems, roads and rail, bridges, buildings, communications networks, water and wastewater networks, process plants, mining, and more. MicroStation can be used either as a software application or as a technology platform.

Used as a software application, MicroStation turns ideas into reality. It provides immersive interaction with 3D models and 2D designs to confidently produce trusted deliverables such as precise drawings, information-rich 3D PDFs and 3D plots. Its robust data and analysis capabilities enable performance simulation of designs, including lifelike rendering and compelling animations. Moreover, its ability to integrate a comprehensive breadth and depth of engineering geometry and data from an unmatched range of CAD software and engineering formats ensures users can work seamlessly with the entire project team.

Used as a technology platform for discipline-specific applications from Bentley and other software vendors, MicroStation offers robust subsystems for consistent integration of geometry and data, and enhances the user experience across a broad portfolio of comprehensive design, engineering, and simulation applications. It ensures each application leverages these advantages, enabling multidisciplinary teams to benefit from an interoperable software portfolio.

 

Why Use MicroStation?

The majority of projects today are designed and documented using computer-aided design (CAD) software. But with shrinking budgets, compressed delivery schedules, and ever-increasing scales and complexity, designers expect more from their design software. MicroStation meets the needs of infrastructure teams across every discipline throughout design, construction, and operations. Ask yourself:

• Can your project team make the best design, construction, and operational decisions without ready access to all of the applicable information available?

• How much time and money does your project team lose due to errors and changes that result from a lack of confidence in project documentation?

• Could your project team design and build better infrastructure if it were able to accurately predict the infrastructure’s real-world performance in advance?

• How much time and money does inadequate interoperability cost your project team as a result of manual re-entry of data, data loss, and error-prone translations?

MicroStation is Relied Upon for Speed, Power, Precision, and Confidence by:

  Bentley delivers 2D / 3D architecture and engineering design software solutions for the entire lifecycle of the infrastructure asset, tailored to the needs of the various professions—the engineers, architects, planners, contractors, fabricators, IT managers, operators and maintenance engineers—who will work on and work with that asset over its lifetime. Comprised of integrated applications and services built on an open platform, each solution is designed to ensure that information flows between workflow processes and project team members to enable interoperability and collaboration.

  Bentley’s architecture and engineering software solutions reflect the rich domain expertise of our software development teams—enhanced by our strategic acquisitions—as well as our active engagement with our user organizations. Our solutions are further extended through our Be Communities professional networking website, created specifically to empower the sharing of best practices, ideas and content by infrastructure solutions communities.

  
  

  Bridges The Bentley bridge software solution is the most extensive offering in the industry, composed of a family of software that addresses virtually any bridge type, both existing and new structures.

  Buildings The Bentley BIM software solution empowers the design, construction, and operation of all types of buildings and facilities around the world. Generative Design lets architects and engineers pursue designs and achieve results that were virtually unthinkable before.

  Campuses The digital campus model is an enterprise software solution to facilitate design collaboration, support construction delivery and leverage facility information for operations and maintenance.

  Communications The Bentley communications software solution delivers easy-to-use field or Web viewing tools, intelligent engineering work order creation, sophisticated network engineering and end-to-end network modeling and management.

  EPCM Bentley’s solution for EPCM (engineering, procurement, and construction management) provides project information management (PIM) applications that span the entire integrated project delivery and asset lifecycle for EPCM firms as well as owner-operators. Bentley’s EPCM solution helps reduce risk, improve project visibility and productivity, ensure the safe and efficient execution of capital projects, and supports complex, globally dispersed, loosely coupled, federated capital projects.

  Factories Bentley offers a comprehensive solution for the factory lifecycle. The digital factory software solution comprises an integrated network of digital models, methodologies, and toolboxes that integrate the planning and design of manufacturing facilities with the manufacturing process.

  Government All the necessary software tools for the registration and maintenance of parcels and parcel-related data for governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as those needed to develop, realize and maintain any land development project, regardless of industry.

  Mining and Metals The Bentley software solution for mining and metals supports the entire mine lifecycle. In the planning, design, procurement, and construction of mines and processing plants, Bentley helps to increase the efficiency of capital projects. Once the mine is operational, Bentley helps to manage asset performance and reliability, as well as manage risk and ensure safety and environmental integrity.

  Power Generation The Bentley software solution for Power Generation delivers an integrated suite of applications encompassing all engineering disciplines involved in the design, construction and retrofit of many types of power generation facility – fossil, nuclear and renewable.
