What's civil engineering software?
Civil engineering software encompasses a range of tools to help civil engineers during both the design and construction process.
These programmes can help in every stage of your project including drafting & documenting, designing, visualising & analysing.
Types of civil engineering and infrastructure design
Autodesk software helps multi-disciplinary teams better integrate the plan, design, build and operations phases of a project.
-
Civil engineering
Save time and resources by capturing survey data in hours versus days and improve insights at each stage of your surveying and site development work.
-
Structural engineering
Better anticipate issues and assess information throughout your project with BIM (Building Information Modelling). Design and build bridges and tunnels with better predictability.
-
Transportation engineering
Promote greater project efficiency and delivery with infrastructure software that provides BIM tools for transportation such as roads, rail, airports and ports.
-
Civil construction
Improve co-ordination and delivery with BIM for virtual design and construction. Give all stakeholders access to project information almost anytime and anywhere.
How is civil engineering used?
Aalborg Energie Technik
AET uses BIM to develop biomass plants that generate environmentally-friendly energy using wood chips, corn stalks and even chicken droppings.
