Frequently Asked Questions
Are Bentley iTwin and Atlantis Digital Twin really competitors?
Only at the surface — both call themselves ‘digital twin’ products, but they come from very different lineages and solve different jobs. Bentley iTwin is built on Bentley’s long heritage in engineering CAD (MicroStation, OpenPlant, ContextCapture, Bentley Reality Modeling). It excels at federating CAD models, BIM data, and reality captures (photogrammetry, point clouds) into a navigable 3D twin — the design / construction / handover side of the asset lifecycle. Atlantis Digital Twin is built on the inspection record and exists for the operating side — capturing UT thickness, scoring RBI, calculating FFS, and showing live integrity state on a 3D model. They’re complementary as much as competitive.
When does Bentley iTwin clearly win?
When your dominant use case is engineering CAD federation — large infrastructure (rail, road, water, power transmission), capital construction projects, BIM-mandated handovers, photogrammetry-heavy reality modeling. Bentley’s tools are best-in-class for these workflows. iTwin is the right answer when the people in the seat are designers, BIM coordinators, or construction managers, not inspectors.
When does Atlantis win?
When the people in the seat are inspectors and integrity engineers, the dominant data is NDT (UT thickness, RT, MT/PT, PAUT), the dominant calculation is FFS / RBI / corrosion rate / inspection interval, and the operating asset is fixed equipment (vessels, piping, tanks, exchangers, structures). Atlantis ships these workflows native; iTwin would require building them on top of the platform — possible but expensive and slow.
Can the two be integrated?
Yes, and we’ve seen this pattern at large infrastructure owners. Bentley iTwin holds the engineering / construction model and the reality-capture data. Atlantis Digital Twin holds the operating inspection record and runs FFS/RBI. Asset master and 3D geometry flow iTwin → Atlantis (via glTF or IFC export). Inspection events, integrity status changes, and findings flow Atlantis → iTwin so they appear on the federated owner view. Integration is custom but well-supported on both sides — typically 6–10 weeks of build.
