Increase Productivity up to 50% with OpenTunnel
Intuitive purpose-built tunnel modeling software that is fully interoperable with analysis and design
WHAT IS OPENTUNNEL DESIGNER?
OpenTunnel Designer is the first and only purpose-built software for tunnel modeling and design. Get the right tools for the job and say goodbye to unnecessary rework and time delays with all team members now working in one intuitive application.
Automated Tunnel Modeling
Simply create tunnel specific objects and information in one application all team members can intuitively use. Eliminate coding, scripting, and workarounds.
Multi-Discipline Collaboration
Easily share and consume a variety of file formats across project stakeholders. Prevent errors, rework, and costly delays with always up-to-date data.
All-In-One Workflow with PLAXIS
Conveniently import existing OpenTunnel models into PLAXIS and generate the analytical model with a click of a button. Replace recreating models with extra time to analyze and optimize projects.
- Incorporate Data
-
Incorporate All Your Data
Make better decisions from the start of your project with the ability to combine, organize, and manage geotechnical and existing conditions data faster without sacrificing accuracy. Consume soil strata and linear infrastructure data with ease. Reference road and rail corridors, and bridge structures in your OpenTunnel Designer model and quickly import soil meshes with IFC versions 4.0 and 4.3.
- Model, Simulate, & Detail
-
Model, Simulate, and Detail Tunnel Construction
- Model the full excavation shape, excavation tracks, and the tunnel lining and reinforcement for conventional and mechanized tunnels.
- Model interior objects that are to be extruded along the tunnel length or placed as cells along a specified path, such as sidewalks, ducts, cable trays and more.
- Save valuable design time as edits automatically update in visualizations, plan production, and quantities reports.
- Model and detail the rebar reinforcement for the tunnel lining. Reference your OpenTunnel lining model in ProConcrete and see changes automatically reflected in the reinforcement data and deliverables based on the tunnel lining geometry changes.
- Perform Geotechnical Analysis
-
Perform Geotechnical Analysis
Maximize productivity and save time by creating multiple analytical models in minutes not days. Simply specify stations for the cross section as the basis of your 2D analytical model or send entire tunnels from your 3D BIM model to PLAXIS with the push of a button, no coding required.
- Tunnel Drawings & Reports
-
Tunnel Drawings and Reports
Streamline your plan production process. Plan, profiles, and cross-section drawings can easily be created using OpenTunnel Designer’s powerful drawing production tools. Keep your projects on track with tunnel specific reports based on the latest changes for up-to-date accurate costing and quantities.

FEATURED USER STORIES
Meet Federico
“Compared to other BIM tools and applications in the as-built generation and maintenance interventions of a standard application, we can estimate 50% time saving to build the same model. In the case of long and complex tunnels, time-saving could be even larger.”
Meet Christine
“With OpenTunnel, the design can be made directly by the drafter, and the engineer can concentrate on the calculations in PLAXIS and the design of the work. It is a way to save time and optimize everyone’s work. “
Meet Jean-Pierre
“OpenTunnel is a powerful tool for designing tunnels and all associated structures. The automatic implementation of the reinforcement is also an indispensable tool that we use very regularly, which allows to save a lot of time and to test several solutions.”
