CIVIL 3D FOR SITE DESIGN
Get your projects off the ground quickly with tools to help you to prepare and shape ground surfaces for carriageway, subdivision and other site projects.
Download, create, analyse and adjust survey data. Streamline the transfer of field-captured data to and from the office. (video: 11 sec.)
Create comprehensive digital models of ground topography for studies such as land-use feasibility, transportation system planning and water flow simulations. (video: 14 sec.)
Create dynamic and data-rich corridor models for designs such as residential roads, kerbs and footpaths, swales within a subdivision and car park design. (video: 10 sec.)
Use swept path analysis to speed up planning and evaluate safety standards compliance. Animate vehicle paths with 2D or 3D animations using multiple camera angles. (video: 20 sec.)
Model storm and sanitary sewer systems. Analyse networks to resize pipes, reset inverts and compute energy and hydraulic gradient lines according to HEC-22 standards.
Integrate stormwater and wastewater analysis during planning and design of urban drainage systems, storm and sanitary sewers. (video: 39 secs)
Lay out horizontal and vertical 3D design of pressure networks. Model deflected-bend segments and use design and depth checks to meet project standards. (video: 11 sec.)
Use a visual programming application to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex tasks. Save these scripts in a library and reuse them as needed. (video: 1.49 min.)
Use materials and sectional or profile information to create reports for volumes along an alignment, comparing design and existing ground surfaces and quantity take-off. (video: 13 sec.)
Leverage conceptual designs to improve site project layout, site grading and drainage design. (video 1.49 min.)
Share co-ordinate systems to improve co-ordination between architects and civil engineers. (video 1.59 min.)
The aggregation of LiDAR, drone data, GIS and other data sources is critical to generating a real-world context model of your project.
WDI STUDIOS
WDI Studios had just three weeks to interpret raw survey data, model civil works and visualise improvements to reduce site development costs.
