Description

Orbit 3DM is a specialized software suite for managing, extracting and sharing 3D data from digital mapping developed by Bentley Systems. The software supports a wide range of data such as point clouds, imagery, textured mesh and GIS data, and provides unique capabilities for managing and analyzing this data. Is. The mentioned information sources are used to construct digital twins and model real phenomena. This software supports all data collection and storage systems and there is no limit to the volume and amount of system input information. This tool is very flexible and supports various mapping systems such as ground systems, mobile mapping, drone mapping systems, oblique mapping, aerial mapping and ….

Performing complex information calculations, analyzing and extracting data from maps for engineering and urban planning purposes, etc. are among the most important applications of this software. All data in the software can be converted to graphic maps and the user can create a very realistic 360-degree map of raw data in a matter of minutes. This software is used in various fields and industries, and among its most important regular users, we can mention engineers, geography specialists, operators and developers of urban and industrial infrastructures, etc.

System Requirements

Operating System

More about Windows, Linux, and Java requirements, see System Requirements.

Orbit 3DM Desktop Product: Windows only.

Computing Power

Depending on your expectations, type, and volume of used resources (e.g. point cloud, imagery, base maps, … ).

Here’s a guideline :

Minimum: 64 Bit OS, 4 GB ram, Dual-core processor(s)
Recommended: 64 Bit OS, 8 GB ram or more, Quad-core processor

Software

Next to Java, no special requirements.

Graphics Card

Orbit desktop products use the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) and CPU to process graphic requests.

Orbit desktop products will use the 3D graphics card (GPU) to render complex 3D graphics, e.g. 3D tin models.

If no 3D graphics card is available, complex 3D requests will be processed by the Java Runtime using CPU.

Virtual environments (like Citrix, Virtualbox, VMWare, etc.) are still struggling to incorporate movies, the use of moving high-resolution imagery, and complex 3D graphics. The result can be Desktop and Web clients to act slower or fail to render the 3D Scene.

For example, smooth viewing and roaming through high-resolution spherical images or free navigating through a 3D point cloud requires an adequate frame refresh rate. These actions can be compared with watching an HD movie.

When using Citrix we do advise XenApp, including video optimization and a 1GB network connection.

Internet Connectivity

Orbit desktop Standalone products require online connectivity.

Orbit desktop Clients do not require online access but require connectivity with their Orbit Server, see Requirements for Orbit Server.

Disk space

No special requirements for the Orbit software installation. A clean install is about 300MB.

More attention is required to organize the huge volume of mapping resources.

Storage & File Access

Storage

Orbit requires a file-based storage system. Can be either local or network storage system that supports direct file access.

On importing Orbit will process all mapping data into performance-optimized resource files, which may need a bit more storage capacity. The optimized storage reduces other hardware requirements.

File & Disc Access

Orbit requests result in direct file access, performance is particularly determined by the disc speed and disc access.

Slow discs or slow connections will create a bottleneck. SSD disks are nice to have.

Big files

When processing large mapping datasets your file system should be able to store big files. Processing errors may occur due to (1) lack of disk-space to complete, (2) file size limitation of file system (FAT32 is limited up to 4GB, NTFS is advised) and (3) extremely fragmentation of storage volume.

Single operator

For standalone systems or other small setups you may want to store the data on external discs.

The use of a high-speed interfaces like eSATA or USB3 are highly recommended.

Multi operator

For larger volumes of data we advise to use one optimized central storage system (e.g. raid systems on server side) conform the volume of data and expected number of users. Make a wise decision, the slowest link will define the speed of use. This could be your network and not the data storage.

Note that you may host the mapping data on hardware other than the Orbit desktop installation. As long as there is a fast connection (1gb or more) between both, this will be no problem.
