Bentley Descartes
Turn your 3D scans into concrete decisions
Bentley Descartes converts your point clouds and digital models into usable information, facilitating visualization, analysis and decision-making for your infrastructure projects.
Bentley Descartes: the software that turns your dot clouds into exploitable models
Integrate reality into your modeling
With Descartes, edit and clean your reality modelling data, such as billion-point point clouds, by modifying classifications, colors or removing unnecessary data. Easily integrate any type of 2D or 3D image into your engineering workflows to make informed decisions and improve the quality of your projects. Quickly model geometry, extract lines, surfaces, planes and cylinders, and create high fidelity visualizations to enrich the mapping, engineering and context of your infrastructure.
Treatment of reality data
Create georeferenced 2D and 3D drawings for infrastructure projects and deliver them on time and on budget, even when the complexity and scope of projects increase.
Advanced 3D Image Processing
Create better quality documents faster, ready to communicate your design intent. These documents meet industry standards, allowing you to easily and confidently seal your creations.
Large-scale field models
A common environment connects your tools, data and teams, allowing you to carry out even the most demanding projects reliably.
Bentley Descartes
Use all your data types, even large ones, and turn them into accurate and usable models. Enrich and classify your dot clouds, combine them with your engineering models, and extract key lines and surfaces. Easily create animations and high fidelity to present your projects with impact.
User Word
The rapid development of the model [using Bentley applications] has demonstrated that even in the midst of a global pandemic and in times of containment, it is possible to provide services that exceed the expectations of our clients and partners.

Licensing Options
Annual rental
The simple and efficient way to use software over a fixed period of 12 months. The license is associated with the user and can be used on several posts (but not simultaneously).
The annual subscription includes a number of "keys" that can be exchanged for training or accompaniment (mentoring).
Perpetual licence
A perpetual license is a unique purchase, it can be accompanied by an annual maintenance contract called SELECT. The latter assures you that your software is always up to date, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day support and allows for the buoyancy of licenses among other services.
The SELECT contract offers maintenance for your perpetual licenses including various benefits:
- Floating licences
- Software updates
- Balancing the licensing portfolio
- Technical assistance 24/7, 365j/365
- CONNECT services
