Bentley Systems has launched V8i, the most comprehensive software portfolio for infrastructure ever assembled in a single release. The V8i release includes the launch of new versions of well-known products like MicroStation, ProjectWise, STAAD, PROFESSIONAL RAM, AutoPLANT, PlantWise, Bentley BIM, Bentley MAP, MX Suite, Inroads, Prosteel, WaterCAD and all the other products part of Bentley’s comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure lifecycle: from buildings to industrial bridges, transit to utilities, clean energy to clean water.

Two critical advantages of the V8i portfolio are intraoperability and interoperability. Together, they enable broader reuse of project and asset information generated during the design, construction, and operation of infrastructure, and enable project teams to choose among multiple software offerings. V8i offers engineers, architects, GIS professionals, constructors, and owner-operators unprecedented opportunities:

• Intuitive design modeling to seamlessly transition from conceptual modeling and visualization to fully complete architectural and engineering models in a single environment. The new Luxology rendering engine provides near-real-time rendering.
• Interactive dynamic views make working in 3D much more interactive and informative. V8i users can easily change the way 3D models are displayed in the same working view to interactively visualize designs in 2D and 3D.
• Intrinsic geo-coordination assures that all V8i projects include the real-world location of the site.
• Incredible project performance lets users work faster and collaborate more effectively to make work sharing across multiple, distributed offices easy and efficient.
