OpenGround
OpenGround is the data-management layer for geotechnical information: boreholes, laboratory results, monitoring, logs, GIS and reporting. It should be treated as the controlled subsurface data source feeding analysis and design, not as the finite-element solver itself.
Legacy / alternate terminology: gINT
Use numerical detail only where ground behaviour can change the decision.
OpenGround is the data-management layer for geotechnical information: boreholes, laboratory results, monitoring, logs, GIS and reporting. It should be treated as the controlled subsurface data source feeding analysis and design, not as the finite-element solver itself.
Represent ground behavior and uncertainty with purpose-built geotechnical data or analysis workflows.
Test construction stages and ground-structure decisions before they become site risks.
Apply configurable geotechnical database, logs and reporting where that capability directly supports the project decision.
Ground, staging and interaction capabilities for defensible analysis.
Only capabilities supported by the reviewed source-controlled product record are shown here. CTtec adds engineering context without reproducing Bentley marketing copy.
Configurable geotechnical database, logs and reporting
AGS/DIGGS/CSV/Excel data exchange and field collection
3D/GIS visualization, REST API and connected design workflows
Ground model in. Staged response and engineering judgement out.
The sequence is assembled from the product's reviewed capability/application data and CTtec discipline vocabulary. It is a project-use model, not a claim that every project follows an identical process.
Engineering inputs
Ground model, stratigraphy, groundwater, material parameters, loads and construction stages
Core engineering work
Configurable geotechnical database, logs and reporting
Validation & review
AGS/DIGGS/CSV/Excel data exchange and field collection
Project outcome
Site investigation data management. Interpretable ground-response results and design/constructability decisions
Connected handoff
AutoCAD Civil 3D extension
Geotechnical problems where assumptions must stay visible.
These application areas come directly from the reviewed product record. They are presented as decision contexts rather than padded with repeated generic prose.

UK sales, licensing, implementation and engineering-support context.
CTtec can help confirm product fit, licensing route, procurement and implementation without presenting a separate converted regional product price.
Choose dimensional and material-model complexity deliberately.
Selection guidance is CTtec engineering editorial based on the reviewed product scope. It is intended to support tool choice, not replace project-specific engineering judgement.
Choose OpenGround when the problem is governed by data quality, access, reporting and collaboration across field/lab/design teams.
Use PLAXIS or GeoStudio for numerical analysis after the ground model and parameters are established.
- Confirm the current Bentley system requirements and licensing terms before deployment.
- Validate project data standards, coordinate systems, units, and exchange formats during implementation planning.
Interfaces, handoffs and adjacent Bentley applications.
Connections are shown only where they are present in the reviewed product record.
Questions to resolve before the tool becomes part of the project workflow.
Answers use the reviewed product data, CTtec engineering editorial, Bentley public pricing and clearly separated CTtec sales-support context.
When should an engineering team choose OpenGround?
Choose OpenGround when the problem is governed by data quality, access, reporting and collaboration across field/lab/design teams. Use PLAXIS or GeoStudio for numerical analysis after the ground model and parameters are established.
What engineering work does OpenGround support?
Configurable geotechnical database, logs and reporting; AGS/DIGGS/CSV/Excel data exchange and field collection; 3D/GIS visualization, REST API and connected design workflows.
What project applications are a good fit?
Site investigation data management; Borehole/log reporting; Enterprise subsurface data governance.
Which Bentley editions or tiers are represented here?
The reviewed Bentley source lists OpenGround User - Base, OpenGround User - Advanced, OpenGround i3 Band 1. Reference values on this page are a dated public-source snapshot checked 2026-09-18, not a CTtec quotation.
How does OpenGround connect to the wider engineering workflow?
The reviewed workflow references AutoCAD Civil 3D extension; Leapfrog and Seequent Central; PLAXIS/GeoStudio, Power BI and REST API. Confirm project-specific exchange requirements during implementation planning.
What legacy or alternate names may engineers search for?
OpenGround is also relevant to searches for gINT. CTtec keeps those terms for continuity without presenting obsolete names as separate current products.
What is the public price authority on this page?
Bentley public pricing is the sole public product-price authority shown on CTtec.ae. CTtec can assist with quotations, licensing and procurement support, but the website does not publish a separate regional product price.
What should the team check before deployment?
Confirm the current Bentley system requirements and licensing terms before deployment. Validate project data standards, coordinate systems, units, and exchange formats during implementation planning.
Scope the geotechnical model before committing to analysis depth.
Discuss engineering fit, Bentley public pricing, licensing, procurement support, implementation planning and connected workflows for OpenGround.
