Bentley’s MicroStation
MicroStation is the instrument professionals rely on to design, model, and manage infrastructure.
It’s more sophisticated than a tool – it’s an accessible instrument that offers power, control, efficiency, and security. It excels at enabling innovative design and creative visualizations and consolidates critical project elements in a single environment for effective, secure project deliverables. It’s built to scale from the smallest to the largest of infrastructure projects that can span days, months, or years. And it’s the foundation that supports the entire Bentley modeling ecosystem.
• Interoperability – Work with native DGN and incorporate legacy data and file formats like DWG, and point-cloud data without conversions.
• Reliability – Work collaboratively on any size project without size restrictions, crashes, or complications, knowing your system will always be on.
• Visualization – Analyze and perform data visualizations on models based on their geometry or underlying attributes.
• Standards – We’re an industry standard which means your documentation is always standards compliant.
• Real Data – Design with accurate real-world context, automatically, with geospatial information from hundreds of systems.
