What's New Highlights for OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition, Update 7 (build 10.07.00.105) [/b]

A good overview of some of the new features mentioned below are available in this three-minute video.










General Updates:

* Discontinued Windows 7 Compatibility
Microsoft Windows 7 will enter its End of Life and ended mainstream support as of January 14, 2020. Microsoft will no longer offer patches and security updates for Windows 7. Therefore, OpenBuildings products released after this date will no longer be certified or claim compatibility with Window 7.
* Physically Based Rendering (PBR)
OpenBuildings now supports Physically Based Rendering (PBR). PBR method of rendering accurately represents a material's surface based on its interactions with light. You can create more realistic looking materials that work well in all lighting environments.
* Revit 2020 RFA update
When RFA files are brought into OpenBuildings Designer, the RFA Interpreter creates catalog entries that represent each type defined in the RFA and stores the mapping settings that are used for each RFA file. In other words, the properties contained in each RFA and their values are stored in a catalog entry, and the RFA is interpreted each time it is placed into a new DGN. OpenBuildings now supports Revit 2020-format RFA content via the 'Bentley RFA Interpreter Wizard' and place cell tool.
* iTwin Synchronizer (Technology Preview)
The iTwin Synchronizer is used to synchronize changes made in a DGN to an iModel on the iModelHub. This tool launches the iTwin Synchronizer desktop application, which is a cloud-based design collaboration tool. Project collaboration between team members who are spread out geographically or in different teams and from different disciplines, using varied design applications, is made possible by the iTwin Synchronizer.
* Parametric Cell Features (Technology Preview)
In the OpenBuildings > Building Design workflow, you will notice a new ribbon bar group called 'Parametric Cell Features'. ( Note - the Constraints Tab on the ribbon bar is only shown when the active model property Can Be placed as Cell = True. Within the new 'Parametric Cell Features' ribbon bar group, you will find capabilities to define Named Presentation, Multiple Placement Points and Perforators for Parametric Cells. These replace similar capabilities found within our legacy Compound Cells, Frame Builder and Parametric Cell Studio (PCS) used to create user-defined parametric content.
Named Presentations (Technology Preview)
When developing building components using Parametric Cells, a simple projection may not be sufficient in a plan, elevation, or section and may require a different representation and/or graphical symbols. The Named Presentations feature allows you to define what geometry is visible in each view, allowing you to have different representations and/or graphical symbols in each view to accommodate your graphic standards and/or notation requirements.
Placement Points (Technology Preview)
When placing building components using Parametric Cells, a single origin for placement is often insufficient and does not align with how you need to place components most efficiently. The Placement Points feature allows you to predefine multiple 'named' placement points within the parametric cell, which you can select during placement. Placement points can be defined as an associated point on the element, a point in space, at the center of a face, or at the centroid of an element.
Perforators (Technology Preview)
Building Components often can be placed within other host or target elements which require a cut-out, relief, or rough opening to accommodate the building component. The Perforator feature allows you to create 'named' perforators from parametric solids in your parametric cell that acts as a cutting element on a target element.

Architectural Updates:

* Curtain Walls Enhancements
New Edit Curtain Wall System command
This new tool allows the modification of all properties of an entire curtain wall, such as changing mullion spacing, mullion profiles, or panel type after the curtain wall has been placed.
Repeated spacing patterns in curtain walls
This new set of properties allows the definition of a grid pattern with more than one spacing value, for example, spaced 4'-0", 2'-0, 1'-0", and 2'-0". The values can be fixed distances or proportional values to fill the space available
Define which mullion is continuous
Previously, the vertical mullions were always continuous. Now there is an option to control which mullion direction has continuous members and whether the frame is continuous.
Dynamic View resymbolization for line weights
Previous versions of OBD showed curtain walls in all one line weight and color. In Update 7, it will show them in the line weights and colors defined in their Part & Family definitions.
Rotate Curtain Wall grid orientation
This new feature lets you rotate the curtain wall axes after it was placed. While this might be most useful to control the rotation of curtain walls placed "By Shape", it is also useful for creating curtain walls that have mullions that are not completely vertical.
Interface added for multiple panel selection tool
The ability to select multiple Curtain Wall Panels was added in Update 6. In Update 7, a user interface was added to make the options more discoverable.
Sense Distance added to properties
The Sense Distance property controls how close a curtain wall must be to a wall in order to cut through it. That value was previously hard-coded.
* Stairs Enhancements
Control direction of stair when removing a landing
The tool to remove a landing on stairs that had a turn to them previously did not offer any control over which direction the resulting stair would run. Update 7 adds a new step to the command, which asks for an input for the direction of the stair.
Support for extended stair construction to allow for finished floor thickness
Two new properties, one for the upper floor and one for the lower floor, allow for a finished floor thickness. This extends the stair structure while modifying the height of just the top/bottom riser element.
Support for slab construction on landings
Update 6 supported slab treads. Update 7 allows for slabs to be added to landings as well.

Structural Updates:

* Next generation of Structural Elements for OpenBuildings:
Update 7 introduces the next generation of structural elements, which will allow OpenBuildings to extend and improve its structural capabilities. This new structural element offers a direct DGN integration and interoperability with Bentley's ProStructures solution for advanced structural detailing and fabrication.
Upgrading to the Next generation of Structural Elements:
In order to take advantage of the new Structural elements, any existing Legacy Structural elements will need to be upgraded (This is supported by an 'Upgrade Wizard' to assist you through the process). In Update 7, this upgrade is still optional but as future updates are released the update will become more required as we phase out legacy support. Once you upgraded to the new structural elements, the good news is the tools and the operation of those tools remain very consistent to what you are already used to and know today. There should be minimum disruption to your establish workflows and should not require any retraining. This biggest change to the user will be interacting with the new section definitions, which are the same section definitions delivered with ProStructures. The ProStructures section definitions provide a greater level of detail and accuracy necessary for structural detailing and should be a welcome addition to OpenBuildings and improving continuity across Bentley solutions and with structural analytics.
* Support for user-defined and parametric section definition with the Next generation of Structural Elements:
One of the benefits of this new structural element is that is supports the creation of user-defined defined sections and those section definitions can be parametrically driven through parametric variation. No more do you have to wait for programmatic sections to be added to the product. New section definitions are at your discretion and defined by your requirements.
* New Steel Plate Tool
If you are taking advantage of the New Structural Elements, you will also see the introduction of a new Steel Plate type and tools, with three placement methods that take into consideration context and productivity. The placement methods provide for the typical base plate, End Plate (to join two structural members) and free form plate placement. There is also a tool available to add flanges to the plate to form bent plate.
* New searchable Structural Section Picker
With the introduction of new section definitions, there is also a new structural section picker. This new dialog allows you to browse through all the loaded steel databases, filter them to only show a certain shape type (such as rod, I-beam, or C-channel), or search for the name of a specific shape you need (such as UB20025). These options can "stack", so you first select a C-channel, then search for "100' to find all 100-mm C-channels.
* Wizard to add required files to the Dataset
The first time you open a WorkSet from OpenBuildings Designer Update 6 in Update 7, OpenBuildings Designer will need to add some files into your WorkSet in order to run properly. This wizard helps guide you through the process, picking which locale-based files you would like to be loaded and active in your WorkSet. If you change your mind, you can always make changes In the new "Load Steel Section Libraries" dialog on the backstage.
* Wizard to upgrade Projects or Files
The first time you open a file or WorkSet in OpenBuildings Designer Update 7, you will be asked whether you want to upgrade the current WorkSet and, depending on your choice, whether you want to upgrade the current model. If you prefer not to upgrade, you can choose the option not to upgrade your WorkSet now and pick "Upgrade" either from the ribbon or from the backstage later.
* New GenerativeComponents Structural Member Node
To align with the next generation of structural elements, a new corresponding 'Structural Member' node is available

Mechanical Updates:

Assembly Builder (New Tool):
- Functionality to place multiple components that constitute a common assembly, select those elements, and save them as a single named item for repeatable placement (ie: sink trap)
- Created assembly libraries can be saved to typical locations (Organization, Workspace, or WorkSet levels). User can name saved assemblies according to their own personal or company convention.
- Once placed, assembly characteristics are dropped, leaving only individually connected elements
- Assemblies can be composed of available equipment, fittings and linear elements available in OpenBuildings Designer
- Assemblies can be created using elements from any discipline within OpenBuildings Designer (i.e.: Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, or Electrical)
- For Mechanical pipe and duct assemblies, a transition will be placed to make up for any change in connection size between previously placed elements and the assembly to be attached.
- User has the capability to toggle between open ended mechanical connection points on the assembly to define connection point
- User can rotate the assembly to the correct orientation.
Known Issue in Assembly Builder:
While assemblies are placed in a single action they revert to individual components upon placement for reporting and quantification. It is possible to select compound walls for inclusion in an assembly but, when placed, these compound elements are broken down into individual layers that contribute to the compound wall. This issue will be addressed in Update 8. Until then we do not recommend including compound walls in assemblies.

Multi-pipe Routing:
- Tool will allow user to simultaneously place multiple plumbing pipes offset from one another either vertically or horizontally. By default, the maximum number of pipes that can be routed simultaneously is set to six, but this can be adjusted through a configuration variable.
- New Develop Placement command lets user set individual pipe sizes, varying offsets, end types, manufacturers catalogs, insulation thickness, etc..
- Pipes can be different Part/Family (e.g. Hot Water Heating-Supply/Hot Water Heating-Return/etc...)
- Stretch pipe relations accordingly to retain offset distances
- User can report and edit/modify these pipes as if placed separately
- User sets a "drive pipe" (external pipe in user defined multi-pipe grouping) for grouping. This setting is retained for future routing. The drive pipe can be swapped as needed
- Pipe catalog support
- Tool allows placement by both newly defined pipes and selection of existing pipework
- During placement, both direction and locations of secondary pipes can be defined using ribbon controls or key-in shortcuts to dynamically position them as required.
- Users can restart Multi-Pipe routing from previously placed pipe rack

Connect Ducts/Pipes:
- Updated placement dialog reflects new functionality and components available. The lone dialog previously available has been divided into dedicated dialogs for each discipline (HVAC and Plumbing)
- Add updated fitting types to UI as well as new fitting types for HVAC:
. Ogee
. Take-off
. Double take-off
. Tap
. Cross
- Add updated fitting types to UI as well as new fitting types for Plumbing:
. Elbows
. Tees
.. Stub
.. Sanitary
.. Default
. Cross
. Wye
- Allow option whether to use Autofitting Preferences
- Create dialog to control limitations on Ogee connections. This allows the user (or fabricator) to set the metal sheet width that will be used to determine the maximum allowable length that can be created from that single sheet. For example, as the offset increases, total length of the fitting will decrease as the stretch out pattern is maintained by the size selected.
- Tolerance setting has been removed from the dialog, allowing connections to be made without arbitrary limits.
- Enhanced capability to connect different shaped ducts with Tee & Cross options

Mechanical Duct Sizing Enhancements:
Conversion of air flow parameters from m3/hr to l/s (Metric datasets)

Dynamic Views:
Pipe turndown symbol in single line to annotate up and/or down direction

Plumbing Pipe:
Pipe and fitting outer diameter of pipe reflected in model (3D Geometry)

Energy Simulator Updates

United Kingdom Part L SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) requirements:
All SBEM requirements and testing of models required for accreditation have been completed. Once OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition Update 7 has been released, the product will be submitted for accreditation to the appropriate governing bodies in England, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland.
Due to security protocols Bentley Systems does not deliver the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) software with install. In order to run Part L functionality successfully users will need to download the latest version of iSBEM_v5.6.a (through the UK's National Calculation Method (UK NCM) at

https://www.uk-ncm.org.uk/disclaimer.jsp

Import of legacy Hevacomp models:
Users can import Hevacomp Design Database models and projects previously created in Hevacomp products for further development and investigation.

Room type mapping:
This capability allows mapping ASHRAE room types to the Part L room types so that the Part L calculation can proceed with minimal intervention required from the user.

ASHRAE 90.1 LEED requirement reports:
- Users have the functionality to produce reports that contain all data required for LEED compliance reporting for the ASHRAE 90.1- Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
- These reports reflect both the Energy Cost Budget (ECB) and the Performance Rating Method (Appendix G)

Known Issues In OpenBuildings Designer Update 7:
- We recommend not sharing datasets with both Legacy and PS mode. Datasets function best when the projects using them are all using the same structural elements.
- The new Assembly tool does not support compound walls. When placed, it drops them to their component slabs
- ProjectWise Manage Configuration does not support Russian Characters used within configuration file \Dataset_RU\dataset.cfg. Those configuration variables that contain Russian characters will need to be external to the ProjectWise repository or converted into ProjectWise CSBs.
- Even if you choose not to upgrade your existing structural elements, new steel elements placed with the stair tool, railing tool, and truss tool will use the new structural elements inside them.
- If you are upgrading from AECOsim Building Designer v8i, we recommend running the Schema Upgrade Utility (found on Backstage > Utilities > Data Utilities > Upgrade) before upgrading your project to use the new Structural elements.

Bentley Systems' new OpenBuildings platform is more than just AECOsim Building Designer rebranded. The Bentley development team intends to play to its strengths with focused, vertical design tools, cross disciplinary workflows and open data.

With the arrival of OpenRoads and OpenRail for civils and rail design, and the much-needed simplification of the Bentley Systems product portfolio, an 'OpenBuildings' was inevitable. But the new Bentley Systems brand, announced in October, isn't just about giving AECOsim Building Designer a new name; it's about transforming the building design tool into an open platform that can be tightly integrated with tools for other disciplines; not just the road / rail design and simulation (structural, geotechnical, energy and pedestrian) applications from the Bentley stable but those from third parties as well.

Bentley is also looking to use OpenBuildings as a platform on which to build niche vertical design tools, focused on specific workflows. AECOsim Building Designer simply isn't getting a look in on many bread and butter building projects because of the dominance of Autodesk Revit.

There is a long history of Bentley customers developing bespoke solutions to work with MicroStation and MicroStationbased product like AECOsim Building Designer. Customisation and collaboration are key differentiators between AECOsim Building Designer and OpenBuildings. They currently share the same traditional software development kit (SDK) but what makes OpenBuildings different is that it can take full advantage of Bentley's new integrated product stack. Firms can use the new cloud-based services and also connect to third-party applications through the open source iModel.js library and the iModelHub, which offer web-based APIs.

For some years now, Bentley has been losing the battle with Autodesk and other firms when it comes to mainstream building design software. Now with a focus on verticals like station design it is starting to play to its strengths, offering a building design tool that can take advantage of its 'open' applications in areas such as rail and road design, pedestrian simulation, structural analysis and geotechnical engineering.
