Bentley offers a total of six calculation and analysis software solutions. Among them, Synchro and STAAD.Pro are widely recognized. The others might be less familiar to many, but that’s no reason to overlook them. Let’s explore each of these tools in detail!
1. STAAD.Pro: Steel Structure Calculation and Analysis Software
STAAD.Pro is a fully integrated finite element analysis and design solution featuring a user-friendly interface, visualization tools, and support for international design standards. It can analyze nearly all types of structures subjected to static loads, dynamic responses, soil-structure interactions, as well as wind, earthquake, and moving loads. Currently, STAAD.Pro serves over 160,000 users across nearly 100 countries worldwide.
2. RAM Connection: Node Design Software
RAM Connection is a steel structure connection design application that performs comprehensive calculations—including seismic compliance—to analyze and design any type of connection. It can validate your connections within seconds. By integrating with 3D design and detailed drawing models and offering program customization, RAM Connection helps optimize workflows efficiently.
3. HAMMER: Water Hammer and Transient Analysis Software
HAMMER software transforms the complex principles of water hammer effects into an intuitive engineering tool, enabling hydraulic engineers to perform intricate water hammer calculations and designs with ease.
Equipped with a precise calculation engine and an accessible interface, HAMMER is trusted by water departments, municipal authorities, and engineering firms worldwide. It efficiently identifies, manages, and mitigates risks associated with transient hydraulic events.
4. LEGION: Pedestrian Simulation Software
LEGION is designed to simulate and analyze pedestrian flow in infrastructures such as railway and subway stations, sports arenas, shopping malls, and airports. It accurately assesses designs and operational or business plans to improve passenger flow, route navigation, crowd management, as well as safety and security strategies.
Using LEGION, space utilization can be optimized to enhance security, efficiency, and revenue generation.
5. Cube: Transportation Planning, Engineering, and Land Use Simulation
Cube is a comprehensive, script-driven software platform used to develop and apply complex models and simulations for transportation and land use systems. It is employed in over 2,500 locations worldwide to evaluate and predict the effects of alternative strategies and solutions.
As an open platform, Cube supports building and calibrating models across all relevant domains, including transportation planning, engineering, and land use. It offers various modules tailored to address specific questions about transportation networks, land use, and population changes.
Whether developing regional travel demand models or analyzing airport transportation operations and parking, Cube delivers optimal solutions to meet both current and future needs.
6. Synchro: Construction Simulation Software
Synchro is a visual 4D construction simulation software with advanced construction schedule management capabilities. It is widely recognized in the construction industry as a leading tool as BIM gradually becomes the new standard.
Unlike most current 4D engineering simulation software, Synchro not only manages large and complex construction projects but also integrates other engineering data. It offers rich 4D simulation and comprehensive construction process management features.
