Product Data Sheet String-based modeling for road and highway design Bentley MXROAD V8 XM Edition is an advanced, string-based modeling tool that enables the rapid and accurate design of all road types. With MXROAD V8 XM Edition you can quickly create design alternatives to achieve the “ideal” road system and then automate the design detailing process, saving time and money. 3D Design Modeling Superelevation Design At its core MXROAD V8 XM Edition uses 3D string modeling technology – a proven, powerful and concise method of creating any 3D surface. Localised in all key markets, MXROAD has an interoperable database that allows engineers to create and annotate 3D project models in the most popular CAD platforms and in a StandAlone version which has fully functional, high quality CAD tools built in. The automated approach in MXROAD to superelevation design is extremely fast and effective. Superelevation standards are stored in a rules file for the quick application of the correct local, company or project standards. The Superelevation Wizard allows for efficiency whilst retaining the ability to apply engineering judgment. Digital Terrain Model (DTM) creation and analysis, full alignment, road and junction design capability, 2D and 3D drainage design, volume and quantity extraction, 2D and 3D PDF creation, integration with Google Earth and automated production of contract drawings, complete a tool set that allow MXROAD users to feel confident tackling the design of any type of road, large or small. Design Creativity An Earthworks wizard is used to define strategies for cut/fill. The dynamic placement and change functionality in MXROAD speeds the creation of 2D and 3D alignments. “Rubber band” flexibility allows the user to place and edit alignments, encourages design creativity and fast assessment of design alternatives. With cut/fill calculations “on the fly” the end result is informed decisions, promoting better quality design. Junction Design Junction design, along with other functionality in MXROAD, is string-model based. String modeling gives users the ability to design and dynamically re-grade junctions as necessary. Problem areas, such as flat spots, can be identified and resolved during the design phase rather than incur the high costs and delays of rework on site. The 3D design of kerb returns allows you to re-grade via a simple user interface. Pavement Layer and Sub-Grade Design The Pavement Layer Generator models the entire road pavement construction complete with variable pavement configurations across and along the road. Volumes are produced as a by-product of the design process, delivering the information required for fast and accurate reactions in bid situations. Final Drawings All three MXROAD Environments offer the ability to automate the production of final drawings. The Stand-Alone environment provides the ability to complete contract drawings without the need to move to or use a separate CAD drafting system. If for any reason the design is amended, design changes ripple through to the drawings automatically. Users can “do it all and never leave MX” MX® Command Language and Input Files The MX Command Language uses simple, repeatable commands that can be recorded and replayed using Wizards. This powerful, unique feature to the MXROAD family saves time when exploring different design scenarios and iterations. New designs can be quickly and easily created through the use of Input Files.
