Bentley Releases Gas V8 XM Edition
 EXTON,
PA, July 8, 2008 –Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced the release
of Bentley Gas V8 XM Edition facilities design software for gas distribution
networks. Bentley Gas helps engineers and GIS professionals in gas utilities
and contractors serving utility owner-operators design, document, and manage
gas distribution networks more efficiently by unifying CAD and GIS
capabilities, and by providing a built-in, intelligent, gas distribution
data model.
The streamlined workflows that result ensure high-quality infrastructure
data, reliable as-built data, and significant time savings in the creation
of new designs and maintenance of existing infrastructure. Because Bentley
Gas V8 XM is based on Bentley Map – Bentley’s software for managing the
world’s infrastructure in a geospatial context – it provides all of this
technology’s core capabilities, including map management, thematic and
overlay analysis features, business and topological rules enforcement, and
highly accurate editing capabilities.
In addition, it provides the same powerful 3D visualization capabilities
of MicroStation, as well as network tracing, leak analysis, and an interface
to Bentley sisHYD for hydraulic modeling and analysis procedures. It also
can export data to Bentley PowerMap Field to support field technicians with
work packages and redlining capabilities. Bentley Gas V8 XM integrates with
Oracle Spatial in a two- or three-tier mode and, when deployed with Bentley
Geospatial Server, supports enterprise GIS for long transactions with both
optimistic and pessimistic locking.
Robert Mankowski, Bentley director, Geospatial Product Management, said,
“The release of Bentley Gas V8 XM further extends Bentley’s commitment to
advancing GIS for infrastructure. It delivers spatial data seamlessly and
transparently to gas utility engineering teams when they need it, increasing
organizational efficiency, decreasing errors, and improving data quality.
“Take, for example, the software’s advanced network tracing and leak
analysis capabilities. With Bentley Gas V8 XM, reported leaks are quickly
correlated to network infrastructure, speeding repair and replacement
activities, limiting service interruptions, and increasing profitability.”
Bentley Gas V8 XM Edition is delivered with a prebuilt data model that
empowers users to completely customize and extend its functionality as
required through easy-to-use administration tools. The data model is
supported by inference-driven connectivity that automatically establishes
network relationships as the user lays out new facilities. The data model
supports comprehensive and customizable attribute sets for classes of
network objects, and the logical connectivity model is persisted in DGNs or
relational databases, including Oracle Spatial.
Added Mankowski, “As powerful as Bentley Gas V8 XM is, municipalities and
private owner-operators of gas utilities will have even more to look forward
to in the months following its initial release. The software soon will be
integrated with the forthcoming Bentley Expert Designer Gas to deliver
on-the-fly design cost estimation and design-cost comparison, further
enhancing organizational efficiencies.”
