Bentley Systems推出AI工程设计工具 缩短建模

[来源: CP] [分类提示: NEWS] 标题: Bentley Systems Brings AI-Powered Engineering Design to MicroStation Bentley Systems has demonstrated how artificial intelligence can transform engineering design by allowing users to create complex 3D models in MicroStation using simple natural language instead of manual CAD commands or programming. To showcase the technology, an AI agent reconstructed the 2,000-year-old Antikythera mechanism in just hours, a task that would normally take weeks. Left: Front view of the Antikythera mechanism.

MicroStation is widely used to design bridges, buildings, transportation infrastructure, and digital twins. Bentley’s new Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects AI with the software, enabling engineers to describe their ideas in plain language while the AI creates the design inside MicroStation. This reduces the learning curve, speeds up modeling, and lets engineers focus on reviewing and improving designs instead of repetitive drafting.

Bentley has also developed an MCP server for STAAD, its structural analysis software, allowing AI-assisted engineering workflows to include structural safety checks. Human engineers remain responsible for reviewing and validating all AI-generated designs to ensure accuracy and safety. The company believes AI will enable engin
