Axiom releases the world's first GEOPAK
Survey and Advanced Road online training courses.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA
— Looking for a cost-efficient way to train on GEOPAK
Survey or advanced roadway design? GEOPAK users can now train
on GEOPAK at their own pace and on their own schedule with
Axiom's new GEOPAK Survey and GEOPAK Advanced Road
training libraries.

GEOPAK Survey library
GEOPAK Survey library covers creating, editing and
modifying survey data so it can be used by other project team
members. The GEOPAK Survey library is composed of five
comprehensive courses that cover surveying tasks for any type
of site. Right from their own desks, students will become
proficient in field collection of raw data, processing the
data and importing the data into MicroStation files. Upon
completion of this library, students are able to generate
precise survey data that is used by the entire project team.
The following are courses in GEOPAK Survey library:
• Introduction to Digital Terrain Modeling is
a basic introduction to digital terrain modeling (DTM) concepts.
DTM keywords and procedures are discussed at length, with
video examples to make it easier to understand how to build
digital terrain models. The contents are designed for users
who are new to GEOPAK and the DTM process.
• Advanced Digital Terrain Modeling expands on
concepts found in the introduction class. This course discusses
additional extraction procedures, working with TIN files and
advanced tools, including Profiles, Volume Calculations and
Slope Areas. [Editor's note: TIN files are used for storing
survey information data and are used to create a 3D triangular
mesh of the contours of the elevation.] Students learn the
proper use of Theme functions, computing earthwork and working
with Drainage tools.
• Field Collection using Survey course covers
creating a survey project, setting preferences, reviewing
various data types, and importing data from data collectors
or ASCII files. Additional topics include how to collect drainage
and DTM information.
• Office Processing using Survey course addresses
how to reduce data, edit data and map the data into a MicroStation
or AutoCAD file after the data has been imported. Then the
course demonstrates graphically editing the data, exporting
to Drainage and creating a DTM model.
• Geometry for Surveyors course covers the different
types of geometry tools that are found in GEOPAK Survey. These
include classic COGO (coordinate geometry) and graphical COGO.
Lessons are included on easily reviewing and editing the COGO
information using COGO Navigator. Linking graphics back into
COGO is also discussed, along with converting field data,
importing and exporting.

GEOPAK Advanced Road library
GEOPAK Advanced Road library is the training library
that trains roadway designers to design more complex roadways.
In three in-depth courses, GEOPAK Advanced Road library
provides students with the skills to use additional tools
and options in GEOPAK that enable the user to complete a wide
variety of road projects such as divided highways and freeway
projects.
The following are the courses in GEOPAK Advanced Road
Library:
• More Earthwork course continues on from the
basic earthwork course, this class discusses more complex
earthwork projects. These include calculating quantities for
removals and their reuse, and quantities for staged construction.
Other topics include how to transfer earthwork quantities
to cross section sheets.
• Advanced Proposed Cross Sections course covers
more complex projects, such as multiple roadways on a single
cross section, and staged cross sections. Other topics include
drawing utilities and drainage onto cross sections.
• 3D GEOPAK course includes generating a DTM from
cross sections, 3D Station Offset tool and laying 2D elements
onto a 3D DTM model.
In each course, students will find an interactive learning
environment that covers an integral part of the process of
complete site design. Unlike a classroom, each student can
progress at their own pace, ensuring they fully understand
each section before moving on. What's more, students don't
need to have a copy of GEOPAK installed to be able to learn.
With GEOPAK Training Libraries, students can do hands-on drills
in each lesson with movies, audio and interactive multimedia
presentations to simulate all phases of site design.
Coming Soon
GEOPAK PowerCivil and GEOPAK Criteria libraries
are the upcoming releases from Axiom. To get the most up-to-date
