Bentley RailTrack SELECTseries 4 (OpenRail)
Bring Rail products onto same platform as Road.
SUDA
Extends on SUE to Provide Storm/Sanitary Analysis capability
Draws on Haestad analysis and integrates with StormCAD (includes 100 inlet with OpenRoads) / Civil Storm / SewerCAD / SewerGems depending on licences
Bentley Descartes SELECTseries 5 ( ).
Bentley Map SELECTseries 4 ( ).
The Infrastructure Consensus Model (ICM) enhances this fidelity using Bentley i-model file format (i.dgn) with an embedded Civil Consensus Model (icm.dgn).

5. Horizontal Geometry Enhancements
Chord Definition based arcs are supported.

6. Horizontal Geometry Enhancements
Best fit regression on B-spline elements provides improved performance and the creation of spiral based alignments.
Support the import of following Transition Spirals:
Bloss
Biquadratic
Cosine
Sinusoid
Half-Bloss
Half-Biquadratic
Half-Cosine
Half-Sinusoids

7. Horizontal Geometry Enhancements
Improved tool tips from geometry to show what the geometry belongs to (or where it originated from).

8. Terrain Model Enhancements
A new explicitly defined <Boundary> option has been added to the terrain model edge conditions.

9. Terrain Model Enhancements
Complex terrain models are now allowed when the base terrain models boundaries do not overlap.

10. Terrain Model Enhancements
Create Terrain Model Boundary tool has been added.
Extract Graphic - Will allow the creation of a graphical boundary element that reflects the current limits of the triangulation of the given terrain model.
Add Boundary – Adds a boundary internally (no graphic) to the terrain using the current limits of triangulation.
Add Ruled Boundary – Does both of the above … creates a graphical boundary element and then rules that graphical element to the boundary of the terrain.

11. Modeling Enhancements
Template library organizer now allows copy of edited linear templates in a DGN back to the library (previously only worked with corridor templates).
Linear Template are now able to be renamed in Quick Properties.
Linear Templates have been extended to always include external control points for improved modelling accuracy that was previously only available using full corridor modeling.

12. Modeling Enhancements
Template drop description has been added to the corridor objects dialog.
Design Stage artifacts, Top Mesh and Template Geometry, persists rules regardless if they are on/off in the Design Stage settings. This is true for both corridors and linear templates.
This results in multiple benefits, such as:
Target Aliasing seeks top mesh of Corridors and Linear Templates instead of nearest component, resulting in faster processing.
You can now drape 2D elements directly on the corridor without having to create a terrain.

13. Modeling Enhancements
When an End Condition seeks something other than a surface (e.g. linear elements via Horizontal, Vertical, or Both), the elements must be added as a Corridor Reference in order to populate the Target Alias dialog.
This results in much faster processing since the software doesn’t have to search all the elements in the file. It only searches for and lists the elements that are listed as Corridor References.
Optimized performance when the base alignment contains B-splines, or when targeting B-splines elements as corridor point controls and feature definition constraints.
B-Splines are normally created when you copy parallel geometry that contains spirals.

14. i-model and icm enhancements
i-model presentation of the civil model has been improved so Items Browser closely reflects the civil model represented by Project Explorer when a civil application is present.
This makes for easier navigation and reporting in the i-model.
Exporting the .icm.dgn now includes the graphical representation of the civil data being exported.

15. i-model and icm enhancements
WYSIWYG Publish
Publish Displayed Attachments Only
Excellent way to make the files smaller

16. Interoperability Enhancements
When using the File > Publish i-model option to publish an i-model, you can now include the civil data (an example of this would be publishing an i-model for the OpenRoads mobile application).
In order to do this, you will need to set the following CFG variable:
CIVIL_iMODEL_INCLUDE_ICM=1 *** Publish Design Models only
CIVIL_iMODEL_INCLUDE_ICM=2 *** Publish Terrain Models only
CIVIL_iMODEL_INCLUDE_ICM=3 *** Publish both design and terrain models
If variable is not set then no civil data will be saved to i-model.

17. Project Explorer
Project Explorer has the ability to zoom to an element or object.

19. Subsurface Utility Design and Analysis
(SUDA)
Subsurface Utility Engineering License
StormCAD License (100 Inlets Included)
SUDA is built from Bentleys leading and proven H&H (Haestad) technology. Civil users get
integration and data fidelity with SewerCAD, SewerGEMS, StormCAD, and CivilStorm.
With this integration, civil users can easily move into more advanced analysis such as
time dependent flows available with products like CivilStorm.
NEXT SLIDE
Conflict Management
SUE Attribution
3D Modeling of all underground
Integrated with OpenRoads
Storm/Sanitary Hydraulic Analysis and Design
Hydrology

20. SUDA
A variety of bug fixes for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) tools
Added hydraulic calculations engines as follows:
StormCAD equivalent functionality for drainage models up to 100 inlets included in the OpenRoads license
CivilStorm, SewerCAD and SewerGEMS license available by menu activation. Additional license charges will apply if you have not purchased the appropriate license.
Added import capabilities for:
STSW files (StormCAD, CivilStorm, SewerCAD and SewerGEMS)
Submodels (StormCAD, CivilStorm, SewerCAD and SewerGEMS)
SWMM
LandXML
MicroDrainage

21. SUDA
Added export to:
Submodels (StormCAD, CivilStorm, SewerCAD and SewerGEMS)
SWMM
LandXML
MicroDrainage
GEOPAK Drainage
InRoads Storm and Sanitary
New Layout commands
Place Lateral
Place Gutter (hydraulic definition)
Place Polygon (for Catchments, LIDS, hydraulic pond definitions)
New polygon feature definition type for Catchments, LIDs and hydraulic pond definitions.
Added Predefined Flex Tables for hydraulic reporting
Added tool to create real text from Hydraulic View annotations.

22. Legacy Product Enhancements
GEOPAK - Optimization loading file list of GPK files from ProjectWise.
InRoads - Vertical Annotation Enhancement.
Ability to only Annotate Curve-less VPIs with a leader, station, and elevation
Added the ability to add station and elevation to Curve Data.
MX - export to native provides feedback in the Message Center for the number of elements persisted and a list of elements that did not.
MX - Added a key-in that clears MX data persisted information from the DGN file. This allows for clean export to MX.

25. Futures – Mobile

26. OpenRoads Mobile Project
Starting Jan. 2015
EAP planned for Q2 and Initial release Q3
Goal: Round trip data from OpenRoads products to mobile devices
Use i-models from Bentley products
Two major releases (one each construction season)

27. Bentley Mobile Platform Strategy
Developing on multiple platforms to offer cross platform solutions
Using various industry standards to increase code and application portability
Enterprise consistency for ease of use
Bentley working with all 3 operating systems: first is Apple iOS, then Android and finally windows 8 or 10 down the road.
Use standard programming, including SDK (software developer kits) so others can program as desired.
Standard functionality is consistent: logon, viewing tools, etc.

28. Transportation Project – Civil Multi-Discipline
MineCycle
OpenRoads
SUE / SUDA
MineCycle Material Handling
Can use i-models from other Bentley products such as Open Bridge Modeler, gINT, and SUE/SUDA. They can made the imodels from within those products, or you can attach the .i.dgn file to your dgn files and create from within civil product. Each product determines what is included within their i-model, some basic now, but will expand in the future, based partially on user feedback.
MineSurvey
Open Bridge Modeler
gINT
MicroStation SS3

29. Requirements / Features
