"2024 IAETP Training Conference Agenda"

3D Modeling IDOT-Specific Bridge

This workshop is meant to lead a participant in the creation of an IDOT-specific 3D bridge model. The
structure to be modeled is a relatively simple one, in that it is a 3-span, wide flange bridge, supported
by integral abutments and pile bent/solid wall piers. The model creation will make use of basic
OpenBridge Modeler tools, Generative Components, and MicroStation 3D modeling tools

Prerequisite

Participants should be familiar with OpenBridge Modeler’s intended
workflow. This can be achieved by working through any of Bentley’s
training examples either through the Bentley LEARN site or through
YouTube. Participants should also be at least familiar with the 3D
modeling tools of MicroStation

Intersection Design Part 1 – Horizontal and Vertical Geometry

This course teaches tools and techniques that can be used to lay out a complex intersection. It will focus on the Horizontal and Vertical Geometry tools to create 2D and 3D geometric elements. In this course, you will be designing a complex intersection that includes turn lanes, median islands and turn lane islands. 2D horizontal geometry will be created using the Horizontal Geometry tools and Profiles and 3D elements will be created using the Vertical Geometry tools. The objective is to create a terrain model of the proposed pavement surface and analyze the proposed drainage contours.

Intersection Design Part 2 – 3D Model Detailing

This course teaches tools and techniques that can be used to accurately model a complex intersection in 3D. In this course, you will learn how to:
Use Linear Templates to create the curb, sidewalk and side slope grading along the edges of pavement and islands. Use Surface Templates to apply material thickness to the pavement surface and median islands. Create a Finished Grade Terrain Model using Graphical Filters. Export Finished Grade Terrain Model to LandXML format

“Editing and Managing Geometry *New* “

There are many tools to edit civil geometry in OpenRoads Designer and understanding how to use them is critical to maintain the rules and relationships between geometric elements. In this workshop, we will take a look at various tools and techniques for editing civil geometry

Road Regression and Re-Design *New*

The Project that we are going to undertake in this course is to create a Geometric Horizontal Alignment that follows, as closely as possible, the existing Surveyed centerline of a road using the regression tools available in OpenRoads Designer. A vertical alignment will be generated that follows the existing road profile, using the Best Fit Profile tool. We will then create a corridor and apply an Overlay and Stripping template to create the whole road cross section. Following on from that we will apply a designed superelevation that matches as best we can the existing cross fall on the existing road.We will also try to minimize the amount of Overlay and Stripping required and finally produce quantities

Introduction to Drainage Layout and Hydraulics

This course was previously called Inlet and Pipe Layout – Analysis and Design. In this course we cover creating and designing a highway drainage system consisting of Inlets, Manholes, Outlets, Pipes, and Drainage Areas. Topics covered include placing drainage structures, placing drainage areas, placing drainage pipes and computing flows through the system. We will also cover creating profiles of the system

Annotating Title Blocks and the Sheet Index

Learn how to annotate title block information for both ProjectWise and non-ProjectWise workflows from the Sheet Index. You will further learn to use the Sheet Index to control sheet numbers, organize sheet sets, the order of sheets, sheet properties, and how to publish project deliverables.

Annotating Drainage Profiles

If you ever wondered how to create drainage pipe profiles and annotate drainage structures? Then this session is for you. This presentation will discuss: creating pipe profiles using the Drainage and Utilities tools, creating Named Boundaries that will be used to place those pipe profiles on sheets and how to add individual annotations to label specific location coordinates, station, elevations, and more.

Cross Section Annotation

Learn more about cross section annotation automation and setup.

Creating Drainage Reports

In this course, you will learn how to create reports using FlexTables. You will learn how to customize the FlexTables to show the desired data fields and formatting for the reports. FlexTables show data for one type of element – a catch basin or a manhole for example. You will learn how to combine the content of multiple FlexTables into a single Excel spreadsheet

Creating Staged Cross Sections

Discussion of need for staged cross sections, best practices and methods to achieve desired results.

Roundabout Modeling Part 1

Modeling a roundabout using civil cells to create the circulatory area and the approaches independently.

Roundabout Modeling Part 2

Modeling a roundabout using civil cells to create the circulatory area and the approaches independently.

“Introduction to Creating Civil Cells Part 1 (2D & 3D Geometry)”

“This course teaches the tools and techniques that can be used to create a civil cell. You will learn how to create a civil cell for a T-Intersection
using horizontal and vertical geometry. This course will only focus on the horizontal and vertical civil geometry tools to create 2D and 3D
geometric elements to create a Civil Cell.”

“Introduction to Creating Civil Cells Part 2 (3D Model Detailing)”

“This course teaches tools and techniques that can be used to create a detailed 3D civil cell. This is part two of Introduction to Creating Civil
Cells (2D & 3D Geometry) and we will cover the 3D modeling related tools and processes to finish modeling the T-Intersection created in that
course. We will also show how to use points as civil cell references in this course by building a Turn Lane Civil Cell.”

Drainage Plans, Profiles and Cross Sections *New*

In this course, you will learn how to create and annotate plan, profile and cross section sheets. You will learn how to create Named Boundaries that will be used to generate plan, profile and cross section sheets. You will also learn about drawing models and sheet models that are used during the sheet creation process. Lastly, you will learn how to add individual annotations to label specific location coordinates, station-offset values, elevations, and more.

Creating and Managing Utilities *New*

In this course, you will learn how to create existing utilities from graphics and how to detect utility conflicts.

“Creating and Managing Multiple Terrain Models *New*”

In this workshop, you will learn about terrain model feature types, managing existing terrain models using null terrains and complex terrains, clipping terrain models to speed up corridor processing, creating a terrain model using graphical filters, and creating merged terrain models.
