© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 39 | Summary Why gINT and a Good Database is Necessary Centralizes control of your subsurface data (field and lab) Standardizes storage and reporting Improves data accuracy/quality (QA/QC) Automates complex data management processes Transforms raw data into information via reports Eliminates redundant data entry Data reusability: different reports, export, evaluation Data reusability: interoperability with other software Capture Once, use many times
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 40 | The Next Release gINT V8 i – What is included? ProjectWise Integration: Except for a few places where it was not appropriate, everywhere in gINT where a file can be opened or saved the user can select to use ProjectWise. This gives a central repository for all files related to gINT which would be stored with all other files related to the user’s projects. The most common uses for this feature by our users: Electronic data files that are imported into the gINT database. Raster images (photos, aerial photos, etc.) that are also imported into the gINT database. Exported final reports from gINT: PDF, DGN, Excel, KML (Google Earth), and data for import to analysis programs. 40
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 41 | gINT V8 i DGN (Bentley Design File) Export Allows export of all reports and gINT drawings to MicroStation and many other programs that support DGN. This supersedes the use of the gINT DXF (v12) export format that our users have been using for many years. The DGN export eliminates the main complaints of that format: Inaccurate font translations and the inability to set entity properties by level. The most common use for this feature by our users is to import gINT reports into final design drawings, usually for roads and bridges. ECW Support Enhanced Compression Wavelet files are highly compressed raster images that are very fast to render. They are also geocoded, that is, the location of the image is embedded within the file. 41
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 42 | gINT V8 i Coordinate Conversions gINT has incorporated the MicroStation coordinate conversion libraries. Allows users to specify a project coordinate system. Entering North and East coordinates generates corresponding WGS84 Latitude and Longitude and visa versa. 42
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 43 | gINT V8 i AGS4 Support In 1992 the UK Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (a trade organization; published the first version of a data interchange format for geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigations. gINT was the first program that supported it. gINT has always supported upgrades to the format. Version 4 is no exception. The format has spread to Ireland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and the Middle East and is required by consultants from these countries doing work throughout the world. With many consultants and government agencies all work requires the use of the format. 43
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 44 | gINT now supports boreholes where the bearing and plunge change with depth. gINT V8 i – Deviated Boreholes
© 2010 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 45 | gINT V8 i European Numeric Data Entry gINT does require that the user’s system regional settings be configured with a period as the decimal separator. The program will automatically changes those settings if they are not correct and return them to their original configuration on program termination. Most continental European countries use a comma as the decimal separator. Prior to the acquisition gINT had an option to output all reports using European numeric format. This new capability gives the user the ability, if desired, to perform data entry with that format as well. 45
