Increase Your Productivity Up To 50%
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.
True Tunnel Design Software
No more coding and scripting! Increase productivity with automated modeling tools to create specific objects and information for tunnel infrastructure in one application!
Easy Multidiscipline Collaboration
Share and consume project data across stakeholders in a common data environment. Easily exchange information with Leapfrog, PLAXIS, OpenRoads, OpenRail, OpenBridge, and ProStructures, for a single source of truth that is always up to date preventing error, rework, and costly delays.
All-In-One Workflow with PLAXIS
Create your model in OpenTunnel Designer and generate an analytical model in PLAXIS with a click of a button. The all-in-one workflow provides more time to comprehensively analyze projects for optimum design, safety, and performance.
- 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 and Simulate
-
Model and Simulate Tunnel Construction
Simplify your design process with native modeling tools. Model the full excavation shape, excavation tracks, and the tunnel lining and reinforcement for conventional and mechanized tunnels. Save valuable design time, as your model updates automatically to any change made in the tunnel template or alignment geometry.
- 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.
- Model Tunnel Interior Objects
-
Model Tunnel Interior Objects
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. See them automatically reflected in your visualizations, plan production, and quantities reports, for simplified clash detection and reduced risk of costly onsite rework.
- Model and Detail
-
Model and Detail Rebar Reinforcement
Save time and rework as you 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.
- Tunnel Drawings and 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.”

Licensing and Subscription options
One-year license with training
Virtuoso Subscription – A popular choice for small and medium-sized businesses
Get access to software that comes with training – fast! Bentley’s eStore, Virtuosity, offers a convenient way to lease a 12-month license of Bentley software for a low, upfront cost. Every online purchase through Virtuosity comes as a Virtuoso Subscription that includes training and auto-renewals.
With no contract required, it’s easy to get started quickly.
One-time purchase with support
Perpetual License with SELECT
A perpetual license of Bentley software is a one-time purchase, with a yearly maintenance subscription, called SELECT. This includes 24/7/365 technical support, learning resources, and the ability to exchange licenses for other software once a year. With SELECT, you will benefit from:
