MicroStation Extensions are specialized tools that integrate with and expand MicroStation's core technologies.
Each extension can be coupled with MicroStation and downloaded as a single installation package. There is no additional charge for extensions when the user is a SELECT subscriber.
GenerativeComponents is an associative parametric modeling system used by architects and engineers to automate design processes and accelerate design iterations.
As an Innovation by MicroStation, GenerativeComponents extends proven technologies and delivers significant advantage to users as they rapidly explore a broad range of design alternatives.
With a hybrid approach, designers who use GenerativeComponents can model geometry, capture relationships, and generate forms using scripts and/or direct manipulation for unrivalled creative flexibility.
This combination of accelerated iteration, flexible modeling, and automated process means that a GenerativeComponents design can be highly efficient, benefiting from a combination of intuition and logic.
MicroStation Civil Extension
The MicroStation Civil Extension extends powerful 2D civil drafting tools that support both GEOPAK and InRoads users. Install a subset of either product and expand the features of MicroStation while complementing GEOPAK or InRoads workflows.
MicroStation GeoGraphics
MicroStation GeoGraphics allows you to integrate engineering and mapping applications on a single platform and extends the data capture and editing tools in MicroStation with a solid database interface and spatial analysis functionality.
It can be implemented with any type of database connection supported by MicroStation or by taking advantage of Oracle Spatial to store spatial data in compliance with OpenGIS standards.
In addition, MicroStation GeoGraphics supports XML-based feature modeling, or XFM, which is an innovative XML metadata-driven environment that capitalizes on MicroStation V8’s ability to store attribution set properties, relationships, and placement behaviors in design files as XML fragments. The metadata is defined via the Geospatial Administrator, that is delivered with MicroStation GeoGraphics. MicroStation GeoGraphics forms the foundation for geospatial applications.
It significantly increases user productivity and offers an easy-to-use environment for geospatial users. With this discipline-specific platform, independent software developers can take advantage of high-level functionality to increase application performance and reduce development time. MicroStation GeoGraphics serves as the platform for vertical applications from Bentley such as water and wastewater network management and communications and utilities network design.
A host of applications are also available from the geospatial members of the Bentley Developer Network.
MicroStation Schematics
MicroStation Schematics combines high-productivity drafting with intelligent review and reporting capabilities. Create intelligent P&IDs that provide value throughout the lifecycle of a facility. Users can generate reports such as BOMs from their drawings and integrate their drawings with 3D models or other enterprise data.
MicroStation TriForma
MicroStation TriForma provides the building and plant industries with a common platform for architectural and engineering design. Bentley Architecture and Bentley Structural further extend the capabilities of TriFroma to increase discipline-specific productivity.
This 3D, solids modeling software provides a robust set of capabilities for object management, geometric modeling, drafting, information and standards management, visualization, drawing and report extraction, integration with analytical tools, and interference review.
TriForma improves communication and coordination by laying the foundation for a suite of discipline-specific applications that address the needs of the many fields involved in a building or plant engineering project; resulting in faster, better, more cost-effective projects. These solutions include:
- Bentley Architecture
- Bentley Structural
- Bentley HVAC
- PlantSpace Raceways
- PlantSpace Support Modeler
- PlantSpace Orthographics
MicroStation PDF Composer
MicroStation PDF Composer provides a secure, compact, always readable format for project delivery. Package an entire AEC project—including MicroStation and AutoCAD drawings, specifications, and Microsoft Office files—into a single PDF document with the touch of a button.
PDF documents generated with MicroStation PDF Composer are interactive and include searchable text, security options, and level and file information.
