String-based Modeling for Road and Highway Design, Rehabilitation and Renewal


Bentley MXRENEW Features
At its core, MXRENEW uses 3D string modeling technology—a proven, powerful and concise method of creating any 3D surface. Localized to many country standards, MXRENEW includes:

Data Interoperability

  • Seamless integration between CAD platforms—in both DGN and DWG environments
  • Ability to import data from almost any source including Land XML
  • Referencing of CAD files on the fly, including multiple formats or Raster images
  • Available as a stand-alone environment with high quality, fully functional CAD tools built in
  • Save as DGN and DWG
  • Publish to 2D and 3D Adobe PDF format

Alignment Design

  • Dynamic, advanced tools for interactive alignment creation
  • Variety of transition types to most international standards
  • Comprehensive geometric reporting, including on-the-fly volumetrics to allow optimization of cut and fill percentages
  • Ability to snap to existing terrain features with clearance checking
  • Parallel Alignment creation
  • Creation of alignments directly from CAD elements

Road Design

  • Design complete road corridors and check “through visibility” via easy-to-use tools
  • Single, dual or a mixed roadway design capability according to speed, ensuring the ability to cater for a wide range of road schemes with a single solution
  • Automatic re-design of the road corridor should any part of the design change, providing the opportunity to efficiently explore different design alternatives
  • Optimize the design to make best use of the existing road surface and minimize cost as a result
  • Library of standard road styles to many standards
  • Ability to widen roads using linear or reverse curves, controlling gradients throughout
  • Built-in rules for fast and efficient application of superelevation
  • Junction and roundabout design in 3D with the ability to dynamically re-grade kerb returns
  • Storage of different road styles and modeling of pavement construction

Interactive Design Editing and Analysis

  • 3D design data editing via sections at individual stations or over a range of stations
  • Edit section elements by slope or push put points
  • Enable rapid design by restricting design to predefined boundaries
  • Design changes with on-the-fly surface analysis for instant, visual support of design decisions

Overlay Optimization

  • Dynamic control of profile
  • Design speed checking
  • Fit design to existing pavement edges
  • Level differences shown during the fitting process

Pavement Analysis

  • Milling and regulation material quantities
  • Contour drawings of overlay thickness
  • Probe and sensitivity analysis

Pavement Layer Design

  • User-defined style applied to roadway profile
  • Comprehensive tools for storage of different pavement construction styles
  • Ability to design pavement layers in 3D and optimize their interaction with existing surface
  • Defining of multiple zone and areas of construction for pavement variation along and across the road

Reports and Drawings

  • Automatic calculation of pavement, regulation, and scarification quantities enable easy analysis of suitability and cost
  • Comprehensive material quantity reports
  • Accurate setting out information
  • Tight integration with Bentley content management and publishing solutions to bring collaborative design data to the entire project team in a secure environment
  • Integration of Digital Interplot at the production end, enabling automated plot set generation and Web-based access to plot archives
