OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition, Update 7 (build 10.07.00.105). This release includes important features to enhance user experience, as well as improves interoperability, collaboration, personal productivity, and information sharing by leveraging Bentley CONNECT services.

OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition, Update 7 (v10.07.00.105)

This release includes language and regional dataset support for two new countries, Russia and the Czech Republic, bringing its total language count to eight (8) - Czech, Chinese (Simplified), English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian, and includes sixteen (16) regional datasets - Australia, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Neutral Metric, New Zealand, Russian, Singapore, Spain, Swedish, United Kingdom, United States (Imperial and Metric).

This version incorporates several new productivity enhancements and user-requested fixes. It also includes updates from MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 14.

GenerativeComponents, Update 7 (build 10.07.00.124) is available as a companion feature. This computational design platform can easily be included as part of any deployment of OpenBuildings Designer.

OpenSiteTm Designer CONNECT Edition 2020 Release 2 (build 10.08.01.33) - This release also introduces OpenSite Designer as a new companion application during installation. OpenSite Designer is a new application that employs an open modeling environment for the project delivery of site design projects from concept to completion. The application provides complete detailed design capabilities for rapid site modeling and analysis, earthwork optimization and quantification, drainage and underground utility design, automated project deliverables, and more. OpenSite Designer is currently only available in English.

Bentley Systems’ new OpenBuildings platform is more than just AECOsim Building Designer rebranded. The Bentley development team intends to play to its strengths with focused, vertical design tools, cross disciplinary workflows and open data.

With the arrival of OpenRoads and OpenRail for civils and rail design, and the much-needed simplification of the Bentley Systems product portfolio, an ‘OpenBuildings’ was inevitable. But the new Bentley Systems brand, announced in October, isn’t just about giving AECOsim Building Designer a new name; it’s about transforming the building design tool into an open platform that can be tightly integrated with tools for other disciplines; not just the road / rail design and simulation (structural, geotechnical, energy and pedestrian) applications from the Bentley stable but those from third parties as well.

Bentley is also looking to use OpenBuildings as a platform on which to build niche vertical design tools, focused on specific workflows. AECOsim Building Designer simply isn’t getting a look in on many bread and butter building projects because of the dominance of Autodesk Revit.

There is a long history of Bentley customers developing bespoke solutions to work with MicroStation and MicroStationbased product like AECOsim Building Designer. Customisation and collaboration are key differentiators between AECOsim Building Designer and OpenBuildings. They currently share the same traditional software development kit (SDK) but what makes OpenBuildings different is that it can take full advantage of Bentley’s new integrated product stack. Firms can use the new cloud-based services and also connect to third-party applications through the open source iModel.js library and the iModelHub, which offer web-based APIs.

For some years now, Bentley has been losing the battle with Autodesk and other firms when it comes to mainstream building design software. Now with a focus on verticals like station design it is starting to play to its strengths, offering a building design tool that can take advantage of its ‘open’ applications in areas such as rail and road design, pedestrian simulation, structural analysis and geotechnical engineering.
