Civil Design software is constantly being challenged by changing business and technology trends. As such, we have to respond not only to the current demands of the market, but look ahead and be ready for whatever the future may hold. We’ll take a look at these current challenges and how Bentley Civil is responding.

Delivering a Bentley BIM Model to US Army Corps of Engineers  

Submitted Date  : 2009/9/13 - Submitted by: kevin

Many of the Corps of Engineers projects require (either through usage or delivery) a Bentley created Building Information Model. This session will discuss items the public should know on how to deliver a Bentley BIM based model to the USACE when a Bentley deliverable is specified. Topics include an overview of the Attachment F level of detail, standards checking, part verification, datagroup verification, frequently asked questions, and Q&A with the audience.
