Advanced Modeling Simplification: A Must for Government Projects
Advanced Modeling for government agencies spans an array of requirements, needs, and desired outputs. It usually involves dozens of software systems to handle design and development of those models. To complicate things, government agencies are often faced with a frustrating mix of outdated custom-built government systems and the constantly changing “Software-As-A-Service” (SAAS) commercial modeling systems.
This whitepaper examines standard industry practices of leading commercial software developers, such as Autodesk®, ESRI®, Dassault®, and Bentley® and how they operate across multiple packages, proprietary file types, and disrupted workflows that can lead to bad data and inefficiencies. In contrast, we will be using BricsCAD® (by Bricsys®, a Hexagon company) design software as an example of an integrated, Advanced Modeling solution that allows for working these various design processes within a single package and a standard file type. Additionally, we will examine the interoperability between all these systems and the native processes for moving data between them, as may be required for contractual or communication needs.
