Bentley Systems
Infrastructure engineering software for designing, building and operating infrastructure
Bentley Systems provides software used by architects, engineers, constructors and owner-operators to design, build and operate infrastructure systems. Its products support work across infrastructure disciplines, sectors and lifecycle phases, with a focus on using data to address infrastructure challenges.
The e-on Software portfolio includes VUE, PlantFactory and PlantCatalog, covering digital nature, procedural vegetation and environment creation. VUE provides environment and rendering tools, including cloud and OpenVDB workflows, while PlantFactory supports procedural plant modeling with UV editing, mesh hierarchy options and Unreal Engine 4 and 5 plugins. Export functionality integrates vegetation into other 3D applications, and PlantFactory includes free vegetation models and assets. VUE 2024 and PlantFactory 2024 are supplied as unfinished beta versions, with 2023 offered as the production release.
The products are available as free perpetual versions for commercial use, with restrictions on reselling PlantCatalog-derived models. Enterprise and other licensing options are available through contact, and free access is offered to students and educators through Bentley Education.
