OpenRail - Beginners guide to rails design - AulaGEO

Objective of the Course:

The primary goal of this course is to provide beginners with a comprehensive understanding of rail design using Bentley OpenRail Designer. You will learn how to create accurate rail geometries, manage design standards like cant and speed constraints, and model complete rail systems for real-world projects. By the end of the course, you will be confident in using OpenRail Designer to design rail alignments, sidings, and track components in a professional setting. #AulaGEO
