Patent number: 11373370Abstract: In example embodiments, techniques are provided for enabling use of an AI-generated TIN in generation of a 3D design model by defining site objects (e.g., pads) using multiple (e.g., three) phases (i.e. states). A conceptual phase may be associated with a conceptual data structure, a preliminary phase may be associated with the conceptual data structure and a preliminary data structure, a final phase may be associated with the conceptual data structure, the preliminary data structure, and a final data structure. If changes are made in the conceptual phase, for example, as a result of AI optimization, they may be propagated up to the preliminary data structure and final data structure via the vertical draping. Changes made in the preliminary phase or final phase may be propagated down to the conceptual data structure by treating boundaries and breaklines as spatial constraints.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Bentley Systems, IncorporatedInventors: Ron Breukelaar, Barry Mathews, Gabriel Vacarasu, Peter Senft, Scott Devoe

Patent number: 10614255Abstract: A computer-implemented land planning system is designed to generate at least one conceptual fit solution to a user-defined land development problem. The system employs a computer readable medium and a computer program encoded on the medium. The computer program is operable, when executed on a computer, for electronically creating at least one candidate solution to the land development problem. The candidate solution incorporates a plurality of engineering measurements applicable in development of an undeveloped land site. Existing GIS data is collected for the selected undeveloped land site. A fitness function quantitatively evaluates the candidate solution based on its cost. A heuristic problem-solving strategy manipulates the engineering measurements of the candidate solution to achieve a more quantitatively fit solution to the land development problem. Documentation illustrating the fit solution to the land development problem is delivered to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Bentley Systems, IncorporatedInventors: Michael W. Detwiler, James W. Reynolds, Jr., Anthony H. Watts, Ron Breukelaar, Thomas Baeck

The system employs a computer readable medium and a computer program encoded on the medium. The computer program is operable, when executed on a computer, for electronically creating at least one candidate solution to the land development problem.
