Filed:

Apr 22, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/296738

Inventors:

Keith A. Bentley - Elverson PA
Samuel W. Wilson - Wilmington DE
Barry J. Bentley - Elverson PA
Raymond B. Bentley - Elverson PA
John B. Gooding - Spring City PA

Assignee:

Bentley Systems, Inc. - Exton PA

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707203, 703 4

Abstract:

Conventional file-based engineering design data for an engineering model are represented by a plurality of components. Each component has a unique identifier, a set of fields, each field having a data type and a data value, and a program which interprets and modifies the fields. The plurality of components are stored in a repository of a server. The repository also stores a history of any changes made to the components. A plurality of client computers are bidirectionally connected to the server. Each client computer may obtain the current version of the components and may send locally edited versions of the components back to the server to replace the current versions in the repository. At the client computer, the user interacts with the components using conventional file-based software. Before locally edited versions of the components are committed to the server to replace the current versions, a synchronization and merging process occurs whereby the latest version of the components are downloaded to the client computer and are compared to the locally edited version of the components to detect resolvable (compatible) and unresolvable (incompatible) conflicts therebetween. The commit process is performed only if no unresolvable conflicts exist between the two versions of the components.

11/636654

Inventors:

Samuel W. Wilson - Downingtown PA, US
Keith Bentley - Elverson PA, US

Assignee:

Bentley System, Inc. - Exton PA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 12/00
G06F 9/44

US Classification:

707201, 707203, 717168, 707E1701, 707E17007

Abstract:

A method for resolving conflicts between versions of a file is provided. User input defining a boundary defining a conflict area are received. Conflicts between versions of a file are detected based on changes made to elements within the conflict area. The conflicts are marked in one of the versions of the file. The one version of the file is saved as the current version, including the conflicts. The other version of the file is saved in a history.

Assignee:

Bentley Systems, Incorporated - Exton PA

International Classification:

G06G 748
G06F 1750

US Classification:

703 6

Abstract:

A computer system for modeling is disclosed, where the computer system has a storage device, first and second platforms, a portable persistent model, and first and second platform-dependent computerized modeling systems (CMS). Each platform is interfaced to the storage device and provides system-dependent services. The first platform has a first type of operating system and a first type of computer hardware including a first memory, and the second platform has a second type of operating system and a second type of computer hardware including a second memory. The model resides in the storage device in a platform-independent format and includes persistent component objects. The first CMS resides in the first platform memory and the second platform-dependent CMS resides in the second platform memory. Each CMS provides CMS services including retrieving the model from the storage device, manipulating the model, changing the model by adding and removing persistent objects, and persistently saving the model to the storage device. Each CMS includes a static kernel and a dynamic framework.
