Bentley MXRAIL is a dedicated, easy-to-use tool for railway design work. It enables you to design three-dimensional alignments representing plain line track, simple turnouts, diamond crossings, crossovers and complex multi-lead layouts. Because it is compliant with RT60 standards, and through close work with Network Rail, Bentley MXRAIL holds a leading position in the railway industry and readily meets the Permanent Way Engineer's needs.

Bentley MXRAIL can be used for improvements of track alignment, railway stations, and goods yards, as well as design of light, high-speed, and freight rail. Offering total control and accuracy over the most critical and difficult areas of track design, Bentley MXRAIL is a complete track design solution that is fast, flexible, accurate and easy to use.

At its core, Bentley MXRAIL uses 3D string modelling technology – a powerful yet concise method of creating 3D surfaces. An interoperable database allows you to create and annotate 3D project models in the most popular CAD platforms or in Windows. This means that you can work on the project in one environment, save it, and open it seamlessly in another environment with no loss of data. This promotes maximum productivity of trained staff.

Reduced Design Time
Dynamic horizontal and vertical regression analysis tools enable you to position and manipulate “best fit” elements throughout the alignment matching process. By working in this manner, considerable time savings can be achieved on even the smallest projects.

Flexibility in Design Layout
You can place track components with ease, using a choice of placement points, providing flexibility for the design of layouts. This approach to track design gives you the ability to iterate and evaluate different designs, dramatically reducing design time with no compromise in accuracy.

Customisable to Project or International Standards
The automated switch and crossing generator enables the rapid creation of user-defined turnout and crossing libraries. You can design to meet specific project requirements and then reuse your standard settings on subsequent projects.

Easy Identification and Resolution of Any Problem Areas
Easy-to-view graphical styles show the locations of bearing discontinuities, point spacing, and level consistency problems. These location markers – within the survey quality checker – allow you to immediately assess the importance of a problem, whether it be a survey error or a misalignment in an existing track. The ability to validate data and identify errors prevents the loss of valuable design time through working on defective survey data.

Reduction in Manual Calculations
By providing a full library of turn outs and crossing items, Bentley MXRAIL reduces the need for manual calculations and designs. By automating these processes and using the standard items, you can gain significant savings in both design time and costs
