Bentley Subsurface Utility Design and Analysis (SUDA)

SUDA stands for Subsurface Utilities Design and Analysis.

It is currently available (as of InRoads/GEOPAK/MX/OpenRoads SELECTseries 4 MR1 (v08.11.09.845).

Under the SUDA Umbrella there are two overlapping scopes (this information is not official and may have changed):

  •     Subsurface Utilities Engineering - which contains everything but calculations
  •     "OpenRoads SUDA" - this contains everything but Clash Detection and non-hydraulic utility attribution.  If you own a license of OpenRoads in includes a solution for drainage, StormCAD (100 inlets, maximum).  Additional hydraulic solutions, including CivilStorm and SewerGEMS is available under additional licensing.

SUDA LEARN Server Offerings

The Subsurface Utility Engineering Learning Path contains the latest offerings on Subsurface Utilities.

The takeaway from the QuickStart - Evaluating and Creating Subsurface Utilities class is: upon completion of this class, when given a file with SUDA utility features, you'll be able to evaluate and analyze the utilities.  You'll be able to label, run reports and queries, and perform clash detection. 

This class is appropriate for anyone who may encounter a dgn with SUDA utilities, including designers, space managers, GIS operators, drafters, and managers.  It is an excellent pre-requisite for all other SUDA courses.

The Subsurface Utilities Engineering Fundamentals and Advanced courses cover a good portion of the Subsurface Utilities Engineering utility "import"  and layout methodologies. 

Placing Inlets with Precision and Speed is available in the LEARNing Conference 2015 - SUDA Learning Path.  You will master placing inlets accurately, focusing on the dozen characteristics that dictate 100+ additional fields.  Inlets are very complex; placing them quickly and accurately in SUE is not.

An updated Creating SUE Utilities from other Sources class will be posted soon.
