Bentley Licenses D-Cubed 2D DCM, 3D DCM and CDM Components

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software (Plano, TX) and Bentley Systems, Inc. (Exton, PA) announced that the D Cubed 2D and 3D Dimensional Constraint Managers (2D DCM and 3D DCM) and the Collision Detection Manager (CDM) software components have been licensed for use in Bentley's MicroStation family of products, which is widely adopted for the design and management of buildings, civil engineering projects, process and power plants, and geospatial information.

In addition, Siemens PLM Software and Bentley Systems, an architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) vendor, announced a multi-year extension to their long-standing deployment of Parasolid software as the 3D geometric modeling component for MicroStation . These PLM Components are known for their use in mechanical CAD applications. Plus various solutions from the portfolio have been deployed in NX software and Solid Edge, SolidWorks , Autodesk Inventor, and other products.

Building on the Parasolid geometry modeling kernel, the PLM Components will enable Bentley to bring sophisticated design techniques, already proven in mechanical CAD applications, to the AEC marketplace.
