Bentley Electric

Free Form Placements

Placing an intelligent electric feature according to the electric model is as simple as placing any other feature. The user is free to utilize efficient workflows to layout facilities rather than being bound by system constraints.

Inference Engine

The Bentley Electric advanced inference engine operates behind the scenes using rules to automatically establish network and attachment relationships as the user lays out facilities in the GIS.

Feature Editing

The Bentley Electric feature editor allows the user precise control to modify properties, connectivity, attachment relationships, and parent-child relationships while maintaining data integrity.

Network Tracing

The Bentley Electric network engine supports parametric network tracing. Parametric trace constraints—for example, stop conditions—are sets of user-defined, feature-specific queries used by the network engine to precisely control trace behavior.

Multiple Persistence Models

Bentley Electric supports multiple persistence models including DGN with RDBMS and Oracle Spatial in a two-tier configuration.  

Adding Bentley Expert Designer Elextric and Geospatial Server expands this capability to include three-tier connections and the ability to integrate with other GIS systems such as Smallworld and ArcGIS.

Leverages the Bentley Geospatial Architecture

Bentley Electric leverages the capabilities of MicroStation and Bentley Map to optimize workflows for electric utilities. The Geospatial Server, as well as other Bentley products, further extends Bentley Electric’s capabilities to meet the requirements of any organization.
