Product Description

: OpenRoads is Bentley’s integrated civil design platform for roadway and corridor engineering, providing comprehensive terrain modeling, alignment and profile design, corridor optimization, drainage and subsurface utilities coordination, construction documentation, and BIM-enabled workflows. It streamlines geospatial integration, simulation, and deliverables for efficient, constructible, transportation infrastructure across project lifecycles and asset management.

Key Advantages:

  • Parametric corridor modeling with rule-driven templates enabling automated, repeatable corridor generation and rapid design iterations.
  • Native hydrology/drainage, earthworks, and utility coordination tied to geospatial context for accurate quantity takeoffs and clash reduction.
  • BIM interoperability and digital‑twin readiness with federated data, reality modeling integration, and support for analysis/export to FEA, CFD, and traffic tools.

Professional Scope: Essential for Architects, Civil Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Interior Designers, Mechanical Engineers, and Surveyors–GIS Specialists because it delivers coordinated corridor, site, and utility models that integrate design, analysis, and construction documentation across disciplines.

Access & Licensing: Available primarily via Paid-Subscription and Paid-Lifetime (perpetual) options, with limited free viewers and trial access for evaluation.

Specialization: Critical across Construction Management, FEA, Electrical/EDA, CAM & 3D Printing, Geotechnical, CFD, Hydrology, Aerospace, Automotive, CAE, BIM, Structural, 3D Rendering/Photorealistic, Robotics, Process/Chemical, Naval Architecture, Environmental/ESG, Infrastructure & Traffic, Renewable Energy, and Digital Twins for integrated corridor modeling, simulation-ready data, constructability workflows, multidisciplinary coordination, and asset lifecycle management.
