All-in-One Lightweight GIS Platform

Bentley Systems is a world-leading infrastructure engineering software company. Its GIS solutions are centered on the deep integration of “BIM+GIS” and provide full life cycle management tools for smart cities, transportation, energy, water conservancy and other fields. Bentley GIS product matrix includes MicroStation (3D modeling engine), ProjectWise (collaborative work platform), ContextCapture (real scene modeling), OpenRoads/OpenRail (transportation infrastructure design), etc. Its core technologies cover the construction of 2D and 3D integrated data models, real-time collaborative updates in the cloud, integrated processing of multi-source data (CAD/BIM/GIS/remote sensing), spatial analysis decision support, and full life cycle data management system.

3ds Max (3D Studio Max) is a professional 3D computer graphics software developed by Autodesk, mainly used in 3D modeling, animation production, game development, film and television special effects and architectural visualization. As an industry-leading 3D design tool, its functions cover the entire process from concept design to final rendering, supporting polygon modeling, NURBS surfaces, skeletal animation system, physical simulation and advanced rendering engine, and is widely used in creative industries such as entertainment, engineering, and advertising.

BIP (Band Interleaved by Pixel) is a raster data storage format. It stores all bands for each pixel together in order, which means that all band values for a pixel are stored adjacently, instead of storing all pixel values of the first band together, then the second band, and so on. In this format, each pixel value in the raster data is stored in consecutive bytes, rather than in band or sample order as in the BIL or BSQ format. Therefore, in the BIP format, the distance between pixels is minimized, so it is more efficient when reading and writing data.

Informatix MicroGDS is a comprehensive GIS software launched by Informatix. It has a certain influence in the field of geographic information processing and can help users perform diversified operations and analyses on geospatial data.

CIS/2 stands for CIMSteel Integration Standards (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Building Steel Structure Standards), which is a file format used for information exchange and storage in the field of building steel structures. It aims to create a seamless and integrated information flow for building steel structure project information, covering everything from nuts and bolts to materials, loads, frames and components. This format can represent the structure as an analysis, design or manufacturing (detailed) model, and is widely used in the design, analysis, procurement, manufacturing planning, automated manufacturing and installation of steel structures in the construction industry.

Autodesk Inventor is a 3D mechanical CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software developed and provided by Autodesk, and is mainly used in the fields of manufacturing and machine design. It is equipped with a wide range of functions such as assembly design, drawing creation, simulation, piping and cable design, sheet metal modeling, and welding design, centered on parametric modeling, and can digitize and streamline a series of processes from the design of complex machine parts to prototyping and manufacturing. Along with SolidWorks, it is one of the professional 3D CAD software widely used around the world.

TFW file (TIFF World File) is a text file used in GIS to store geographic reference information of TIFF format raster images. It defines the mapping relationship between pixel coordinates and geographic coordinates through affine transformation parameters. is a text file used in GIS to store geographic reference information of TIFF format raster images. It defines the mapping relationship between pixel coordinates and geographic coordinates through affine transformation parameters.

MAP (Map) is a visualization tool based on geographic location information, which displays geographic location and geographic data in a graphical way. In GIS, MAP usually refers to a map file, which contains the basic data, style and metadata of the map. Map files can be created by GIS software or provided by third-party data providers. In GIS, map files can be used to better manage and organize map data and make it easier to share and integrate with other GIS software.

GPX is an XML-based file format specifically designed for exchanging GPS data. It is widely used to describe location information, such as routes, tracks, and points of interest (POIs), making it easy to share and transfer data between different GPS devices and software. As an open standard, the GPX format is supported by many applications and devices, such as sports trackers, map software, and navigation systems.

QLR (QGIS Layer Definition File) is a layer definition file used by QGIS (an open source GIS software). QLR files do not store the data source itself, but rather the configuration information of the layer, such as style, symbols, labels, etc.
