Is it possible or planned to import Microstation DGN files?

In my Company our production facilities and factories are planned with the CAD Software Bentley Microstation. These detailed DGN files form the basis of our simulation projects. By importing the DGN files, it is possible to measure the routes and the distances between the different locations. It would be possible to get the routes and positions as they are in the planned or reality design.

The next stept to improve this work sequence would be to divert selected routes to FlexSim conveyors. This would save a lot of time on the projects.

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.1

Microstation can export DWG files.

AutoCAD can import DGN files and then export to DWG.

FlexSim can import DWG files. You can use Microstation or AutoCAD to get a DGN file into the format that FlexSim can import.
