交通领域软件方案 is blank, why? At least I know InRoad
交通已经并入civil（土木）行业了。 用MicroStation画三维图要比AutoCAD要轻松许多,特别是3D曲面,有许多后者很难甚至不能实现的可在MicroStation中很容易就搞定了! 一、Architectural Design
Solutions for Architects, Engineers, Constructors and Facility Managers
Bentley’s Building product line is a multidisciplinary environment that helps you to produce and coordinate your design and documentation from concept through construction.
Bentley’s Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is the next evolution of CAD for the building industry. It’s upgrading the way architects, engineers, contractors and facility managers work and collaborate. By elevating the dialog to one of information, rather than just graphics, and enabling a managed environment, BIM is making them all more productive – turning people into teams, tools into solutions and tasks into processes.
With Bentley tools, you’ll reduce team fragmentation, meet time and budget requirements, and reduce errors and omissions – all with tools that also empower you to do truly inspired work and better serve your clients.
Time is cut and errors are reduced because Bentley’s building products automatically produce coordinated drawings, reports, specifications, and visualizations. Better decisions and fast corrections are possible because integrated advanced analysis (such as acoustics, egress, lighting and more) is within easy reach of all collaborating team members.
The Building product line supports leading international industry standards and conventions, and can be customized to fit your needs. And because the product line is built on MicroStation, Bentley’s single comprehensive platform, it is directly integrated with Bentley’s Plant, Civil and Geospatial solutions and supports industry-standard information formats such as DGN, DWG, SDNF, CIM, STEP, STL and others.
Bentley Architecture automates the architectural design and production process, from conceptual design to construction documentation.
Bentley HVACoffers a choice in workflow and intuitive operation for mechanical engineers and environmental system designers.
Bentley Structural is for the design, documentation and analysis of a broad range of structural systems, including steel, concrete and timber.
MIDAS/GENw provides comprehensive structural systems analysis and is fully integrated with Bentley Structural to provide unparalleled, coordinated structural design and documentation.
二、Civil Engineering
Bentley civil applications meet the scope your civil design needs for capital projects of all types. These tools bring streamlined efficiency to the design of transportation infrastructure, land development and subdivisions, dams, ports, recreation areas, urban renewal projects and more.
We know that your greatest returns on technology investments come from using an integrated solution capable of generating civil engineering content. Bentley meets your requirements every step of the way—survey, site, hydraulics, hydrology, earthworks, bridge modeling, concrete detailing, interchange design and rail design.
What’s more, we go the extra step to help you leverage design data in new ways, into scheduling, construction and operations.
Bentley’s Civil Engineering Product Line includes:
GEOPAK
The GEOPAK product line is a complete, integrated civil design solution designed by professional engineers and surveyors. Based on MicroStation, GEOPAK products address the multiple civil design phases. GEOPAK includes a unique Criteria capability for fine-tuning the design environment to your standards.
InRoads
The InRoads family of civil engineering solutions offers a complete civil engineering design and surveying automation solution on your platform of choice: MicroStation or AutoCAD. InRoads offers discipline-specific tools for design of roads, rail, airports, bridges, sites and storm and sanitary systems.
MX
The MX product line offers advanced, strings-based civil engineering solutions for road, rail and site design. Arenium is a collaboration and design management tool for use with MX design model files and other types of files. MX and Arenium are available on your choice of platform: MicroStation, AutoCAD and Windows.

Our facilities management applications are used to design, model and visualize facilities, associate asset records to their location and manage asset transactions.
By providing quick and easy access to detailed and up–to-date AEC content pertaining to the facility and its associated assets, these applications help corporate and industrial users optimize their use of space and lower operating costs.
ActiveAsset Planner assists facility management professionals in tracking corporate space and assets, from deployment to decommissioning.
ActiveAsset Inquirer complements ActiveAsset Planner, giving access to participants in the FM process who only need to review and extract information via a Web browser.
ActiveAsset Reports With ActiveAsset Reports, facility managers can create and run Microsoft Access 2000 reports against ActiveAsset data sources quickly and easily.
四、Geospatial
Bentley's Geospatial products provide tools for land base mapping, asset management, public works, tax assessment, land register and land use management. Bentley's Geospatial products are the de-facto standard for geospatial data creation and imaging applications based upon MicroStation.
Bentley offers a complete Geospatial Product Line that combines CAD, GIS, imaging and engineering content creation, management and publishing technologies to streamline workflows and increase productivity.
Our geospatial applications support document conversion, mapping, imaging and spatial analysis. Because our discipline-specific applications are integrated, you can conduct engineering, architecture and geospatial engineering within the same design environment.

CAD其实是计算机辅助设计的意思，AutoCAD是一个工程绘图的平台，基于其平台的建筑设计软件的ADT。同样Microstation类同于AutoCAD,而Triforma\Architecture类同于ADT。3DMAX是一个建模和动画的软件，formz类同于3DMAX,而Lightscape是渲染软件。其实就相当于有马克笔、彩色铅笔、水彩笔之类的东东。没有必要都学，只要自己觉的好用就行，其实设计草图都是铅笔或炭笔画的，呵呵。只不过因为AutoCAD和3DMAX以及PHOTOSHOP在中国的流行，公司招聘似乎成了必备的三大件，其实术业有专功，只要掌握任何一种工具达到顶峰就OK了，软件说到底是工具。就象武侠里的高手随便什么都可以当作克敌制胜的工具。
看以下网址：http://www.architecturalcadd.com/whattobuy.html 高深!!!!!!!!
还是AUTOCAD先用着吧 我对七楼的意见稍有不同，尽管说术业有专功，只要掌握任何一种工具达到顶峰就OK了，但工具还是有层次区别的，象大刀与洋枪的区别，或步枪与机枪的区别，所以建议初学者尽量选择更高级的工具吧，我建议能掌握MS最好。 拿Microstation与AutoCAD比三维是不公平的，Autodesk有自己的成功地三维软件，如3ds，这只是产品定位的问题。
Microstation能与3Dmax比吗？ MicroStation PowerCAD 属于那类？中国勘察协会推荐的。 最初由 豺狼的微笑 发布
MicroStation PowerCAD 属于那类？中国勘察协会推荐的。
MicroStation PowerCAD跟]icroStation 比较只少了三维功能，对于普通用户的话这个软件就可以满足要求！ MicroStation PowerCAD与AutoCAD差不多，只是MicroStation的二维部分，也非常好用，效率比ACAD高。 哦。知道了。因为版权的缘故，要找个替代AutoCAD的软件，MicroStation PowerCAD比较便宜，看介绍还能兼容DWG格式，觉得还可以，就问问大家。谢谢各位！ dsdfgdsdfsdd
