Online Openroads Designer
- This course will provide the delegate with the basics skills to work within the MicroStation environment.
- The course will take the form of live tutorials which the delegates can take notes and ask questions, followed by hands-on practical exercises in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the Openroads Designer Connect Edition
- On this 5 day course you will learn the following topics
Earthworks modelling
- The course will show you how to create a terrain model in different ways including importing from an external file and creating a terrain model from an imported cad file such as an Autocad dwg.
- The course will also show you how to edit a terrain model and create a delta terrain model which would represent the underside of the topsoil strip on your site.
- You’ll also learn how to analyse your terrain model including finding individual levels and applying contours.
- We will also show you how to create ponds or bunds and how to calculate the volumes of the ponds or bunds.
Horizontal and vertical alignment design
- Openroads Designer uses object-oriented coordinate geometry and alignment design capabilities to provide intelligent updating as you quickly create your horizontal and vertical alignments.
- You will learn how to build horizontal and vertical alignments from individual elements which will be familiar to previous MX users such as fixed, free and floating elements.
- You will also learn how to create offset elements from your horizontal design which retain their design intent, so that you maintain the relationship between your elements.
Template Creation
- This part of the course will show you how to add corridors to your alignments and how to create and edit a template which can be applied to your alignment.
- We will show you how to create the relationships between template points and how to test your template to ensure it works the way you expect.
- We will also show you how to utilise components you have already created so that you never have to create a template twice.
- Once you have finished your template creation we will show you how to clip out a corridor across a junction, removing components such as earthworks and kerbs across your junction.
- We will also show you how to create overlay and planing sections and how to report the quantities
Junction design
- The course will show you how to create the junction geometry and then how to create a terrain model covering the junction area.
- You’ll also learn how to add surface and linear templates to create the pavement layers, kerbs, footways and earthworks slopes.
- The course will also show you how to create the corridor references to stop components being created across the junction.
Drainage Design
- On the course you will learn how to create a simple drainage network and attach flows to the system.
- You will learn how to place an outfall headwall, inlets and pipes between manholes.
- Finally, you will learn how to create catchments from shapes and assign each catchment to an inlet.
- Once you have a layout, this course will show you how to calculate hydraulics, how to use scenarios and alternatives, how to compute a scenario and how to confirm the success of the computation.
Drawing creation and annotation
- The course will show you how to easily extract drawings from your model in any scale you choose.
- You’ll also see how to add your own drawing border.
- We will also show you how to create cross sections and long sections and how to change the annotation on the drawings to suit your company standards.
Model Enhancement
- We will show you how to enhance your model with additional elements such as traffic signals, guardrails, lighting columns etc.
- We will also show you how to model utilities so that underground services can be viewed for clash detection.
- You’ll also learn how to drape road markings on to road surface.
- Once you have added elements into your model we’ll show you how to add additional properties to the elements for asset management purposes
