Bentley Systems just launched OpenSite Designer, its integrated application specifically designed for civil site and land development workflows over conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design phases.
OpenSite Designer accelerates BIM through widespread 3D site design, extending reality modeling of site conditions from drone imagery and scans, geotechnical analysis, terrain modeling, site layout and grading optimisation, stormwater drainage modeling and analysis, underground utilities modeling, detailed drawing production, and enlivened visualisations.
OpenSite Designer facilitates fast and recurrent conceptual design, maximizing contextual information acquired through point clouds, reality meshes, GIS, and other sources to improve conception of existing site conditions. Interoperating with PLAXIS and SoilVision, Bentley’s geotechnical engineering solutions, site plans can be better with new information about the active properties of soil along with bearing strength, stresses,…
