These are the OpenEnrollment trainings available for the second half of 2014.

See more info & register to each class by clicking on it.

Notes:

These trainings are for the North American users (imperial units) and are delivered:

- From 08:00am to 04:30pm (Eastern Time) for all marked in BLUE
- From10:00am to 06:30pm (Eastern Time) for all marked in RED (to better accomodate west coast users)

You might notice there are no ProConcrete class scheduled for AutoCAD users. If you need this class, you can always register to the ProConcrete for MicroStation. Although the class is using MicroStation as operating system, the usage of ProConcrete is excately the same for both operating systems.

If you are using the PowerProStructures version, you can register to the MicroStation classes as it is very similar for the operating system, and exactely the same for both ProSteel or ProConcrete.

This week in Arizona, we had a chance to meet users from around the globe and talk about the projects they’re working on. Here are just a few of our new friends – notice the MicroStation social stickers they are proudly sporting!

Plus, make sure to check out highlights from the event here.

Welcome to our second Throwback Thursday (#tbt) leading up to the Be Inspired Awards in November! Instead of posting embarrassing childhood photos – we’re using our Throwback Thursdays to highlight the great work of our previous Be Inspired winners and finalists!

This week we’re celebrating the Cancer Treatment Centre project in London, UK, which was a 2013 Be Inspired Winner for the Innovation in Building Category. This GBP 160 million project was taken on by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners to transform a large clinical hospital into a smaller, non-clinical facility for cancer treatment.

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners used MicroStation and AECOsim Building Designer to break up the 14 story building into 3 “care villages” for patients. Bentley software allowed for accurate integration of different file formats and various models and drawings.

Does the work of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners remind you of your own projects? Your project can receive the recognition it deserves too – submit to Be Inspiredhere! The deadline this year is July 10th, 2014.

Happy #tbt everyone!

At the LEARNing Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, users had the chance to choose from a wide variety of “social stickers” to identify their interests and industry. Meet some of our ProjectWise guys!

While these are just a few of the attendees we met onsite, Tuesday night's social dinner was jam-packed with users sporting stickers for ProjectWise, MicroStation, Bridge, Academic, and more! Check out the highlights here.

On June 17 Marcin Laskowski and Piotr Sławik, from AGH University of Science and Technology, were presented with the Scott Lofgren Student Design Competition Award for winning the category of Innovation in Bridge/Road Design in the 2014 Bentley Student Design Competition. The award ceremony, held at the Academy of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in Krakow, was attended by the Dean of the faculty, representatives from the board, and fellow students. The winning project was titled Redesigning of Dębnicki Bridge. The academy has a long tradition of producing winners in this competition, under the guidance of Dr. Ing Artur Krawczyk.

The winning project redesigned the existing Dębnicki Bridge. The low height of the bridge brings the continued risk of damage due to the flow of the river and potential flooding. The aim of the project was to reduce this risk and also to allow for bicycle lanes over the bridge. The students started by first increasing the height of whole structure by approximately 2 meters. The new design did not incorporate the stone pillars of the old bridge. The removal of these pillars increases the flow capacity of the river Vistula. The newly designed bridge is also wider than the original, allowing for the addition of two bicycle lanes and resulting in an easier flow of traffic.

How we change, create or add to the rebar codes is the topic of discussion for today but before I begin, let me quote the help file that comes with the program.

"Warning: Be very careful when changing rebar and concrete code settings. These values affect nearly every calculation and drawing object you create in the modeling and detailing processes. "

These codes should be changed before a model or project is started. With that said, let's look at how the codes can be copied, changed and used.

Accessing and Copying the Codes

First thing is how do we access the rebar codes. In the ProConcrete section there is an icon that looks like a small blue isometric square.

Left clicking on this icon will load the Rebar Codes dialog box.

To make a copy of any of the code sets in here, simply select which one you want to copy and right-click. A small dialog should appear which allows you to copy and paste. Select the 'copy' option.

Anywhere in the window with the list of codes, right-click and 'Paste' the codes you just copied and you will have an exact duplicate series of the original codes.

Changing the Codes

Select any portion of the copied codes and then from the window on the right, make changes.
 

You can also delete or copy/past the sub areas such as Grade Info, Coating Info, Rebar Info, etc.. To end up with a list of rules that suits your needs. To do this, use the right-click method on these areas as you did above. Keep in mind if you delete an area there is no way to bring it back so use caution when doing this.

Using the Modified Codes

This can sometimes be tricky if you are unsure of how the process works. If you have copied and then modified the codes to the point where you are satisfied then you can simply select the new "RebarCode<...>" (by the main name before expanding), right-click and use the "Set as Current" option.

Additionally, you can also use the "Set as Default" option if you like, however, the 'Default' option only comes into play if you are using this DGN/DWG as a template for new drawings and want to set a specific code to be used each time a new drawing is started.

When you set the 'current' code the software then reads the selected code and uses it with the current DGN/DWG model.

Once you've done this, the rebar tools should see the changes in the selected set of codes and list them for use with the rebar tools. Compare the Bar Size available in the image below with the changes made in the image above, you'll notice that they are the same.

*** Be careful, if you are changing a set of codes that is already 'SET AS CURRENT' then the changes will not be reflected in the rebar tools when done. To make these changes active you MUST make another set of codes 'Set As Current' and then switch back to the codes you were just working on. This will force the program to reread the changes and make them available. This is the ONLY way to make your changes available. Rebooting or restarting the software will NOT read in the new information from the changes you made.

Summary

Using these simple tools and keeping a couple of very important pieces of information in mind, you should be able to setup just about any style of rebar required and have as many possibilities as you like.
