Softree Optimal Reviews & Product Details

Design roads, highways, and corridors that cost less to build. Adding optimization to your geometric design process allows you to deliver a lower-cost design. It also allows you to design faster. Softree Optimal is a patented road (alignment) optimization add-on to RoadEng. Use the Path Explorer AI tool to quickly determine feasible corridor options on your terrain model. See optimized route options in minutes. Use Vertical Optimization to minimize cuts & fills and material movement costs, balancing your earthworks. Save 10-30% on your subgrade construction costs with road optimization.

Softree Optimal Media

Path Explorer AI is a quick & easy, preliminary road locating tool inside of the Terrain module. It is built to find optimized routes between two points, A & B, and does so in minutes! You can include constraints like max grade, min cut / max fill, no-go zones, high-cost zones, and cr...

Softree Optimal Demo - Optimize Your Road Alignment: Vertically and Horizontally

Consistently find the lowest-cost vertical alignment design that satisfies your design constraints & standards. Vertical optimization on its own typically brings down construction costs by 10-30% or more, depending on the project. Horizontally optimization works within a defined range of I...

Softree Optimal Demo - Design Time Costing

Built-in costing models allow you to calculate your alignment's subgrade construction costs as you design. Quantitively compare multiple alignments and design variables based on construction cost. Know your cost & reduce it.

Softree Optimal Demo - Optimized Material Movement Schedule

Our Opti-Haul graphic is a detailed plan for visually analyzing optimal material movement. Similar to a mass haul, but with more detail, it includes movement by material and by direction. Opti-Haul graphic (and data export) gives users a prescriptive plan to reduce their haulage costs and make co...

Softree Optimal Demo - Check Feasibility

Define your design standards and constraints ensure your alignment automatically meets your criteria. Check the feasibility of proposed designs and constraints. View your constraints through the visual feedback of the profile window (including display of the vertical band).

Softree Optimal Demo - Automatically Balance Mass Haul with Smart Pits

Softree Optimal will look to internally balance your corridor. If not possible, Softree Optimal with leverage Smart Pits. Define available pit locations capacities, distance from the alignment, and preparation cost and Optimal will select the most appropriate ones.

What do you like best about Softree Optimal?

The RoadEng package already includes some very precise calculations that, once the context is understand, can be easily laid out to display a "best practice" design. When Optimal kicks in, the same presentation is improved upon seamlessly. The various options are therefore an additional improvement to something that has meat to it, with a final alignment that is provided with the confidence necessary to proceed with construction. The next flip is to download the final version into a DTM file and the survey crew proceed, within a 2 cm accuracy, to deliver the model which for all extensive purposes is the best possible vertical alignment, a field engineer's dream.

What do you dislike about Softree Optimal?

With everything considered, most laptops and boxes need to be boosted to the max to make the duties move along reasonably quick. Best excuse I have ever had to buy a boosted box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Softree Optimal:

It is a sphere of learning, and needs to be appreciated. There is serious continued impact as you progress up the learning curve, borderline excitement as simple techniques of adding constraints, increasing the difficulty of multiple costs (materials), is something that makes me love my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Softree Optimal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I continually replicate Issued for Tender drawings and attempt to replicate the proposed design. By performing a simple and quick Optimal analysis of the design to see if costs can be saved with an improved alignment. As well, there is the beauty of performing high level analysis, that is at least 15% more accurate than your best guess. That is very significant on a $100m job, never mind $1b.
