Output Files
To create our standard output files for GEOPAK Drainage 2004, you will need the following files. The .drf files are needed to generate the .csv files. This data is copied into the blank EXCEL files that contain the standard information in the preferred format that we require to be submitted after the design is complete. Drainage_report.xls is the macro that you will need for the quantity summary reports. See the GEOPAK Specification Support Manual for a complete explanation of the files and how each is utilized.
The .drf files were generated inside of GEOPAK Drainage 2004 and requires Microstation 08.05.02.27 Windows x86 or newer and Bentley GEOPAK 2004 Edition - Version 08.05.02.35 or newer to operate. GEOPAK Drainage 2004 is a subprogram of Bentley GEOPAK 2004 and cannot function without another subprogram GEOPAK Road 2004. Bentley GEOPAK 2004 runs inside of Microstation V8; therefore, both programs are required.
The EXCEL files were created in Microsoft EXCEL 2000. The macro was written in Visual Basic.
