library released!
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA
— Axiom announces the release
of the first ever GEOPAK library of computer-based courses,
GEOPAK Beginning Road. The GEOPAK Beginning Road
library consists of a series of five courses: Introduction
to Digital Terrain Modeling, Advanced Digital Terrain Modeling,
Project Manager for Road, Existing Ground Cross Section and
Introduction to Coordinate Geometry.
The GEOPAK Beginning Road library is
the first of nine libraries Axiom has in development. Authored
by experts in the field and put through Axiom's rigorous quality
assurance process, the GEOPAK Beginning Road will allow
GEOPAK users to train on GEOPAK concepts at their own pace
and on their own schedule
Available both on a standalone CD-ROM or as
a course for LearningBay (Axiom's training management
system), the GEOPAK Beginning Road library is designed
to help new users get a fast start on GEOPAK and to polish
up the skills of veteran users.Below is a short description
of each of the courses in the GEOPAK Beginning Road
library:
- Introduction to Digital Terrain Modeling
is a basic introduction to the DTM for those new to GEOPAK.
- Advanced Digital Terrain Modeling
provides extensive examples for creating and manipulating
models, volumes and features.
- Project Manager for Road discusses
how to set up a project, define preferences, working alignments
and various procedures included in the Project Manager.
- Existing Ground Cross Section details
how to draw cross sections, generate ground lines, draw
right-of-ways and create sheets.
- Introduction to Coordinate Geometry covers
the creation of the GEOPAK coordinate geometry (COGO) database
(*.GPK file, made up of stored geometric elements such as
points, lines, curves, etc…) and includes details on
using the COGO Navigator (used to view, edit and display
coordinate geometry elements).

| Axiom's GEOPAK courses provide
"hands on" drills that enable students to try
out material learned without needing a copy of GEOPAK. |
Axiom's Senior Product Manager, Mike Arroyo,
answered a few questions about the significance of this release.
MicroStation Today: Why is this release
significant?
Arroyo: We have sent a message to the MicroStation
community that Axiom is focused on improving their productivity
at every level, from solving common problems to how they get
their general training. This release is significant because
this library is our "maiden voyage" into developing
training material for vertical Bentley products.
MST: How does Axiom plan to handle
upgrades to GEOPAK? How long will it take to deliver course
content with the new changes?
Arroyo: All our courses use a series of templates designed
to increase the speed for creating and updating materials.
With simple editors such as Notepad and Paintbrush, we are
able to quickly insert, edit and update contents.
 |
| With LearningBay, administrators
can easily offer the new GEOPAK Beginning Road
training library to students. |
MST:
With Notepad and Paintbrush…?
Arroyo: Yes! In fact, companies that purchase the optional
authoring package may edit our courses to reflect their own
workflow or custom programs.
MST: How does Bentley feel about
the release of the GEOPAK library?
Arroyo: We are providing a unique service. We are helping
companies migrate to Bentley products from other CAD platforms
by providing this very convenient and easy training. It is
a win-win situation for all parties involved.
