Enhanced Infrastructure Design and Management
Bentley OpenUtilities offers a comprehensive solution for architects, engineers, and project managers to streamline the design and management of infrastructure projects. With powerful tools and flexible capabilities, OpenUtilities empowers users to efficiently model, document, access, and view critical design information across a wide range of industries. Whether working on architectural, engineering, mapping, construction, or operations projects, OpenUtilities provides the necessary power and flexibility to handle projects of any size.
Integrated Digital Twins and Data Governance
One of the key features of Bentley OpenUtilities is the integration of digital twins and data governance through ProjectWise, powered by iTwin. This integration enables users to leverage digital design delivery, portfolio intelligence, and enhanced engineering work-in-progress capabilities to enhance project performance and productivity. By utilizing digital twins, users can create virtual representations of physical assets, allowing for improved visualization, analysis, and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Comprehensive Water Distribution System Design
OpenUtilities also includes OpenFlows, a decision-support software that allows users to design, plan, and operate water distribution systems with ease. Whether managing water resources for municipalities, industrial plants, or utilities, OpenFlows provides comprehensive tools for modeling and analyzing water systems. From hydraulic analysis to water quality management, OpenFlows is a versatile solution for handling complex water infrastructure challenges.
Advanced Structural Analysis and Design
For structural engineers, Bentley OpenUtilities offers a range of advanced tools such as STAAD, PLAXIS 3D, and PLAXIS 2D for analyzing and designing complex structures. With STAAD, users can analyze any structure with confidence and share the synchronized model for multidisciplinary collaboration. PLAXIS 3D enables powerful finite element analysis of deformation and stability, while PLAXIS 2D allows for reliable analysis of soil and rock behavior in 2D. These tools are invaluable for ensuring the safety and efficiency of high-profile construction projects.
Geotechnical Engineering and Foundation Design
In addition to structural analysis, Bentley OpenUtilities includes specialized tools like PLAXIS Designer and PLAXIS Monopile Designer for geotechnical engineering and foundation design. PLAXIS Designer streamlines the process of creating geotechnical models by incorporating various data inputs, reducing design time and improving analysis efficiency. On the other hand, PLAXIS Monopile Designer focuses on enhancing designs for monopile foundations, particularly in wind farm projects, helping to reduce overall costs and optimize foundation performance.
