Our first throwback Thursday! This year in preparation for the 2014 Be Inspired Awards we will have a weekly post to recognize the fantastic work of our previous Be Inspired winners and finalists.

This week we’re highlighting the great work of EPCOR Water Services on their Water and Land Related Utility system—WALRUS. EPCOR was the winner of the 2013 Innovation in Geospatial Networks Award for their great work ensuring safe drinking water is properly provided to their customers in Alberta, Canada. (And in my book, they win for best acronym too.)

EPCOR used MicroStation and Bentley Map to ensure that a consistent and functional transition was made from their prior system to Windows 7, initiating the CAN $12 million project to guarantee that the new system could properly update, manage, visualize, and analyze spatial data for their community of 500+ users.

Are you as impressed this WALRUS as we are? Your project can receive the recognition it deserves too– submit your project to Be Inspired by clicking here!

Happy #tbt everyone!

2 new gINT Rules samples

$

We have added two new gINT Rules samples available for free from http://communities.bentley.com/products/geotechnical1/w/wiki/3951.gint-rules-samples.aspx.   

gr022

Automatically assigns a unique lab number to every new test specimen on saving the specimen table. These numbers are unique across projects, as long as all users are using the same library. The previous maximum number is stored in a library table and there is code in the rule to prevent two users accessing the library table at the same time. This is done by inserting an impossible last maximum number (-1) in the library table and inserting the new maximum when the save is completed. Further, this code waits a prescribed amount of time if a conflict is found to allow the table to become available. If the table does not become free in that time, a message is shown to try saving later or to undo the changes and to fix the problem (instructions given in the message).

gra015

Inserts alignment Z values from surfaces. Can select as many alignments and surfaces as desired. Each surface is associated with a specific Z column (specified by the user). In addition, additional alignment points can be inserted by specifying a station increment for calculation of the Z values in addition to the calculation at existing alignment points.

If a point on the alignment has coordinates outside of a surface, the program will clear the Z value at that record and give a message at the end of the running of the code with all such records.

This add-in can be run from any table while in Input. You do not have to be in the alignment tables.

You can see the Z profile lines on your fence reports by selecting one of the alignments whose Z values were populated at output time.

This process has two purposes:   1. By storing the Z values with the alignments once, the output can be significantly faster than specifying the surfaces at output time.   2. The alignment data with the calculated Z values can be exported to Excel or CSV for use with other programs.

The downside of this process is that if the surfaces change, you must re-run this add-in to obtain the updated values. Note that you do not have to erase the previous data. The program will overwrite them.

Sneak preview van presentatie op Bentley Advantage evenement 19 juni

$

Afgelopen dagen hebben we hard gewerkt om donderdag 19 juni een presentatie te kunnen geven over data mobility. Op dit gebied is zoveel ontwikkeld afgelopen tijd en de mogelijkheden zijn enorm en al zeg ik het zelf de presentatie is geweldig intressant. Als een sneak preview gaan we het volgende vertellen:

 

  • Wat is data mobility, via een PowerPoint leggen we dit uit.
  • Engineering data omzetten naar Excel, PDF en wat kun je er dan mee.
  • Engineering data op een Ipad of Android, welke apps zijn er en wat kun je met deze apps (Navigator mobile is alvast een tip!).
  • Hoe kun je de engineering data omzetten naar Ipad of Android.
  • Centraal opslaan van de data, via ProjectWise of bijvoorbeeld Dropbox.
  • Via Apple TV hebben we hopelijk draadloze verbinding en kan het publiek ook meedoen om de Apps te ontdekken.

Na deze uitgebreide uitleg met praktische voorbeelden en de mogelijkheid om het zelf te ervaren gaan we een werkwijze tonen die de integratie toont tussen Geo en Civiel:

 

  • We starten met de BGT.
  • We koppelen ontwerpeisen aan de tekening (deze eisen zijn puur administratief en hebben nog geen geometrie)
  • We gaan ontwerpen op basis van de ontwerpeisen.
  • Aan de ontworpen geometrie( 2D en 3D ) gaan we de ontwerpeisen en een aantal BGT eigenschappen koppelen.
  • Het resultaat is een ontwerp met eisen en BGT data, dit ontwerp zal electronisch worden gecontroleerd op de Ipad
  • De ontwerper krijgt de opmerking automatisch terug

 

Nadat het ontwerp gecontrolreerd is en voorzien van attributen is wordt het klaar gemaakt om worden opgenomen in voorlopige geometrie voor de BGT

Het voordeel van deze manier van werken is deze data op diverse devices kan worden getoond. Niet alleen de laptop of desktop maar ook een tablet of telefoon. Daanaast kan de data zeer eenvoudig worden getransformeerd naar andere formaten zonder verlies van gegevens. Mooiste voorbeeld vind ik zelf is de PDF met alle attributen, dit kan zo naar iemand die geen Cad applicatie heeft.

Hiervan heb ik al een filmpje bijgevoegd.

Hopelijk tot donderdag!

Congratulations to the University of Auckland, New Zealand. 2014 Student Design Award Winners

$

On the 6th of June, at the University of Auckland’s end of semester barbecue, Sam Wood and Yusef Patel were awarded the Scott Lofgren Student Design Competition Award for the Innovation in Structural Engineering Design category.

Sam and Yusef’s award was for their architecture project entitled Repetitive Timber Structure, designed to make an Auckland primary school safer and encourage sustainable modes of transport. Seating shelters made for Onehunga Primary School were created as part of their Master of Architecture (Professional) study.

Sam and Yusef’s structures were each designed and constructed around a different theme. Onehunga Primary has Green-Gold Enviro School status, and Sam’s structure was created to promote sustainable travel such as walking and cycling to and from school, while Yusef’s project focused on developing innovative structural jointing methods adapted from the world of furniture design.

Responding to Auckland’s increasing traffic problems, particularly the road congestion that occurs around school drop-off and pick-up times and wanting to encourage initiatives like walking school bus programmes, the pair combined their themes to design a safe, sheltered area with seating for children and their parents to meet at the entrance of the school. 

The structure incorporates Pacific weaving and tapa patterns, as well as messages in Maori, Samoan, Tongan and English, which were devised by children from Onehunga Primary School, encouraging them to make personal changes to the way they travel to and from school. 

Produced under the supervision of Professor Andrew Barrie and John Chapman from the University of Auckland, the shelters were a pro-bono project carried out with extremely limited funds. While the team had the use of advanced design and analysis software (including the Multiframe module of Bentley's Maxsurf software), and use of the School of Architecture and Planning’s CNC milling machine, the structure was built using students' unskilled labour and materials donated by local businesses. 

“Sam and Yusef's project demonstrates how the energy and creative thinking of our students can benefit the community. The award they have received – and which was also won by one of our students last year - shows that these students are up with the best in the world,” says Professor Andrew Barrie, from the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland.
