Modification and check in real time

Vous contrôlez le projet comme vous ne l'avez jamais fait auparavant, et vous réduisez considérablement le temps de conception grâce à la section temps réel 3D en planimétrie. En modifiant un paramètre et tout s'actualise automatiquement. Vous vérifiez le résultat immédiatement avant même de générer le projet. Vous avez le contrôle total sur l'ensemble du projet, sur chaque détail.

M3 Framework Database

All data relating to design and information modeling (geometries and data) are stored in the M3 Framework Database managed by SierraSoft Roads. The M3 Framework Database stores all the parameters and data of the project, of the information modeling (geometries and data) and of the information exchange. SierraSoft Roads generates, starting from the data contained in the M3 Framework Database, all the necessary information documents and information models, with content and level of detail based on the requests. The M3 Framework Database is the only reference for information and guarantees consistency between project data (plans, profiles, sections), information documents and information models.

Definition of the quantities to be calculated (cut, fill, topsoil, etc.) based on the processes entered. The results are stored within the information model and made available as printouts.

Norme

Vous êtes libre de concevoir où vous voulez

Calculations, checks and policies checks: SierraSoft Roads checks if your project complies with the policy. Check the congruence of the design parameters of the axes with the selected policy. Generate and test the visibility diagram and the speed diagram. Generate the speed diagram. The calculation of the superelevations and widenings takes place automatically. The calculation of the overhangs and widenings takes place automatically. Get a detailed report of the verification, element by element, with the provisions of the policy. The software will suggest, where possible, the maximum and minimum values to be adopted. Several policies are already present in the software, and thanks to an open and intuitive system, you can extend the existing regulations with the new ones you need.

Non linear 3D design

Design and model complex three-dimensional geometries

Go beyond the traditional design method for axes and sections. Generate complex 3D surfaces and solid compounds with SmartPolylines. Work directly in 3D creating everything you need: sideslopes, benches, terraces, embankments, pools, ramps, parking lots, etc. Interactively design, with extreme precision and speed, 3D geometric models from which to extract sections and calculate volumes.

Analyzes the hydrological problems related to the territory and facilitates decision-making processes relating to new projects. Get, starting from a point, the path of the water or the contour line. Displays slope vectors, valleys, ridges, tributaries, flat areas, maximum and minimum points on the terrain or project surface. Calculer le volume de remplissage d'un bassin.

Modélisation de l'information avancée

Define your BIM model in detail

The information modeling takes place simultaneously with the design based on specific customizable settings.

The structure of the model, the elements that compose it, the geometric representation of the objects and their information content are defined.

L'intégration des standards IDS (Information Delivery Specifications) et bSDD (buildingSMART Data Dictionary) de buildingSMART directement dans la modélisation paramétrique de l'information permet la création, la gestion, la modification et la validation simples et intuitives du contenu de l'information, garantissant la cohérence des données entre la conception, le modèle d'information et les exigences en matière d'information.

Thus you create an information model according to the specifications required in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP). The information model is created while maintaining information consistency with all the information documents created.

L'activité de collaboration multidisciplinaire est supportée par la mise en œuvre du standard BCF (BIM Collaboration Format), facilitant à la fois l'intégration de la conception et la collaboration BIM.
