Bentley Rail Track V8i is Bentley’s new rail infrastructure design and optimization application, delivering the best of InRail and MXRAIL in a more advanced offering.
Available for MicroStation and AutoCAD, and with Bentley’s world-class CAD functionality built in, Bentley Rail Track offers:
- Integrated horizontal and vertical alignment design using a broad array of methods
- Single and multi-element horizontal and vertical regression analysis
- Horizontal and vertical curvature and slew diagrams
- Sophisticated cant design, including cant calculator and cant editor
- Advanced turnout (switch and crossing) design, with support for multiple international standards
- Design checking
New features in the V8i release include:
- View geometry enhancements
- View Rails for the 2D, 3D display of rails and surface creation
- Roadway Designer for the creation of surface features for ballast
- Horizontal and vertical profile annotation
- Annotate horizontal slews
