Knowledge
What is AECOsim Building Designer?
AECOsim Building Designer is Bentley's BIM authoring application for buildings, the building-focused counterpart to MicroStation's general CAD environment. Bentley has since folded it into OpenBuildings Designer.
You meet it in organisations standardised on Bentley, typically infrastructure-led and multidisciplinary firms working on large, complex assets.
It is a niche skill in UK architecture job specs, but within Bentley-standard environments it is core. If a role names it, the practice almost certainly runs a Bentley stack.
- It is Bentley BIM
Building authoring inside the Bentley platform.
- It lives in infrastructure
Multidisciplinary firms on major assets are its home.
- It signals a Bentley stack
Roles naming it usually run MicroStation and related tools too.
Specialise where it counts.
Add AECOsim to your profile so Bentley-standard organisations can find you, or advertise a role that needs it.
