Included in the text output are geometric data and reports that may be imported into various MicroStation design files to include angles, dimensions, elevations, etc.
In the bridge plans as needed to accurately fabricate and place the various bridge elements during construction as well as determine bid item quantities during preparation of the PS&E package. BGS Version 8.1 (a.k.a. V8.1.7, released June 2007) was developed from TxDOT Roadway Design System (RDS) Version 8.0 by removing all non-bridge related RDS commands. The result of these changes was a 'scaled down' implementation of RDS that focuses on bridge geometric design.
In BGS v8.1 the user could define, and display graphically, geometry points and curves, bridge alignments with templates, superelevations and widenings, and bridge framing, with or without contours, but code supporting RDS functionality strictly employed in roadway design was removed from the RDS source code to yield BGS. BGS v8.1.7.2 was deployed in November 2011 as a technical release to address OS issues with v8.1.7. By November 2011 work was underway on BGS v9.0 building upon the v8.1.7.2 source code. By January 14, 2014 more than 195 distinct changes had been made to BGS v8.1.7.2 including bug fixes, enhancements and modifications to yield development version 9.0.3.
In addition to these functional changes, the source code for the BGS component bgs1.exe_which performs all geometric and plotting calculations and output reports_was migrated from the Intel compiler v10 (integrated with VisualStudio 2008) to v11 (integrated with VisualStudio 2013) and a number of modifications were made to the interface program component bgs.exe. The resulting BGS v9.1.5 was released in January 2016 but had to be recalled due to a bug that blocked bearing seat elevations from being included in the formal output listing for certain framing options. The bug-fixed version, BGS v9.1.6 was released in February 2016. The current draft of the BGS v9.1 User Guide is over 360 pages long.
