Our next general Bentley User group is in November in Palmerston North.  David Humpherson and other Bentley presenters will share the latest software technology advancements, licensing and subscription updates, and provide a valuable open forum.  User groups are free for both current and potential Bentley users.  All-volunteer, independently operated, infrastructure solution communities.  Receive Professional Development Hours/Continuing Education Credits for attending.

• Structural Analysis and Design (Microstran, STAAD.Pro, Structural Enterprise License)
• Pipe Stress Analysis (AutoPIPE)
• CAD (MicroStation)
• Project Delivery and Collaboration (ProjectWise)
• License Management

Matrix are offering free onsite CAD assessments, with a focus on transitioning to the CONNECT Edition.

• Is your workspace ready for migration?
• Have you thought about how to best utilise new features?
• Can repetitive tasks be automated?
• What changes are required?

What will be assessed?

Your workspace configuration including:

• user setup
• project setup
• cell libraries
• text/dimension styles
• plotting styles
• plot sheet setup and drawing boarders
• Project Explorer configuration.

​Your training needs including:

• understanding and utilisation of latest features
• Bentley CONNECT personal and enterprise portals.

​What happens afterwards?

You'll receive a succinct written summary of recommendations for improvements, and options and cost estimates for us to help.

Not in Auckland? Not a problem. Contact us to discuss potential remote assessment or travel.

Live webinar: 17th October Register

Take Control of Regulatory Compliance with Engineering

 

The webinar will provide best practices on navigating around these regulatory pressures and minimise the risk of non-compliance, saving your company time and costs. 

• Challenges organisations face when trying to meet various regulations
• Capabilities needed to maintain full proof of control, such as workflows, audit trails, and e-signatures
• How to ensure confidence while facing an audit
• Leveraging a single source of truth so that your engineering information is available anytime, anywhere.

If unable to attend, register anyway and a recorded version after the event will be emailed to watch at any time. 

 

 

Watch video: A brief look at Aras Quality Management system

The Aras®Quality Management System (QMS) applications includes Quality Planning and Quality Systems to provide organisations with comprehensive quality management capabilities. QMS enables product quality to be managed throughout the lifecycle of the product.

• Quality Planning composes features for proactive quality management traditionally done during the product development. Planning features include failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) capabilities to manage risk, improve quality, and attain environmental, regulatory, safety, medical, and other forms of compliance. The capability allows you to use Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) to control risks and mitigate critical product risks, deploy FMEA processes to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements and quality standards including TS/16949, AS9100, FDA QSR, manage libraries of critical characteristics, failure modes, effects, and control mechanisms, utilize ISO-compliant process flows to drive cross-functional collaboration, and create dashboards, scorecards, KPI metrics, and reports to track your project’s status.
• Quality Systems addresses the challenge of quickly responding to quality issues and communicating change requirements enterprise-wide. QP includes closed-loop corrective action/preventive action (CAPA) features to accelerate identification, containment, and analysis of issues, and tracking of affected items. Identified issues are analyzed with a variety of Root Cause Analysis tools including fault tree analysis, fishbone analysis, and five whys. To ensure that issues are tracked and your teams are in the loop, QS provides 8D reporting and CAPA metrics (% closed, % due).

Below is a snapshot of successful events hosted by Matrix and Bentley.    

​Join us to stay updated on our next events

• Auckland Structural Group members benefited from a Matrix/Bentley event about the new Microstran CONNECT, STAAD.Pro and the Integrated Structural Modelling (ISM).
• Plenty of engaged attendees learning from experts about Microstran, STAAD, RAM, ProSteel, AECOsim and their interoperability with 3rd party applications. A great session showcasing the round tripping of engineering data between Bentley's design and analysis tools using an ISM repository.
• Great turn out of folks discussing ContextCapture advancements in Reality Modelling and how it can be applied to a wide range of applications across many industries and sectors.
