OpenRoads Subsurface Utility Design & Analysis (SELECTseries)

Can be taken with either the InRoads or GEOPAK V8i SELECTseries 4 or SELECTseries 10 editions.

This training is designed to be an introduction to Bentley’s OpenRoads Subsurface Utility Design and Analysis tools commonly referred to as “SUDA”. We introduce new tools and workflows in the context of a common road/site design project. It is expected that you are already generally familiar with the tools and concepts found in OpenRoads, especially geometry and terrain model tools. The exercises cover concepts related to 3D modeling and hydraulic design (for drainage systems only). It is presumed that the student is already familiar with and comfortable with hydraulic design theory – we will not be covering any theory nor discussing principles of hydraulic theory. Certain exercises may take liberties with hydraulic theory or good hydraulic design principles. Please keep in mind that these exercises are intended to teach the tools and thus some liberties may be taken to emphasize the training opportunity at the expense of theory. This training can be taken with either the InRoads or GEOPAK V8i SELECTseries 4 edition.
