Description
This class will showcase a connected data workflow used to deliver large water and sewer infrastructure projects from design to commissioning. This is accomplished with a systematic use of Civil 3D software and ArcGIS integration, asset data governance, and Industry Foundation classes (IFC) for digital-twin commissioning. The sewer and water designs are first developed in Civil 3D. Dynamo and Python are used to attach a class library as property set data and generate a spreadsheet model database. The spreadsheet is linked to an Esri geodatabase through geoprocessing and Python. This geodatabase is updated with field-collected attribute data and as-built data via Esri Field Maps. The computational process is reversed to update the spreadsheet and subsequently the Civil 3D model. The model is delivered as-built, and an IFC version containing the asset data is exported for the owner's digital-twin ecosystem.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to combine Civil 3D, Dynamo, Python, ArcGIS, and Esri products.
- See how effective project data governance can facilitate asset management delivery.
- Learn about automation with Dynamo and Python, including automating model-data manipulation using computational design methods.
- Learn how to facilitate collaboration and information sharing between stakeholders.
