Architecture Asset Management application: MDL based Tied into GeoGraphics for: • Feature Management • Map Management Database Network Model vs. Graphical Completely customizable
Architecture • Features • Uses GeoGraphics feature model • Symbolization • Thematic • Synchronized with MicroStation Level Management system • ByLevel display Topology • Database driven • Some placement rules
Architecture • Maps – GeoGraphics Map Management System • Allows for tracing across map tiles • Easy swapping out of active and reference files • Loading of map tiles by point and click or seamless
Installation Bentley Water • installs on top of MicroStation GeoGraphics. • utilizes the bw.lic license file • writes water elements to a .wat file • Requires a valid MicroStation GeoGraphics Project
Place • To place any Bentley Water elements, a ‘Node’ must first be placed. • Nodes are distribution points for pipes. • Each pipe MUST have a beginning and an end node. • Pipes may have vertices between nodes. • Components are ‘attached’ to pipes.
Nodes • Node ID can be generated Automatically or Manually • All attribute data can be preset by the user or maintained within a database • Attach: attaches a node to a pipe without creating 2 new pipes • Insert: inserts a node on a pipe and creates 2 new pipes
Pipes • Pipe elevations are calculated from nodes • All attribute data can be preset by the user or maintained within a database • Pipes may be placed parallel to an existing object or interactively
Components • Component ID can be generated Automatically or Manually • All attribute data can be preset by the user or maintained within a database • Components may be placed on a pipe or off-set from the pipe Demo
Edit • Edit allows the user to update existing Bentley Water elements • Using MicroStation editing tools will disrupt database linkages • Pipe ends may be moved to other nodes. Once moved, all pipe data will recalculate
Update • Applies new settings made in the Setup dialog • Updates database ‘in case’ MicroStation edit tools are used • Enforces topological relationships Demo
New Features • Place Hydrant Service • Places a dead-end hydrant service branch off of a main in one fluid action • Isolation Trace Reporting • Creates a report in HTML of all Pipes, Nodes, Valves, Consumers and Hydrants found during a pipe isolation trace Demo
Flow vs. pressure Data Model Thematic tools Diagram tools Place, Edit and Update Import and Export Workorder Supplementary data Setup .opt .box These are the same as Bentley Water Where does Bentley WasteWater differ from Bentley Water
Where does Bentley WasteWater differ from Bentley Water • In addition Wastewater has: • Catchment Area definition and analysis • CCTV and Observation maintenance tools Demo
