This session will delve into the exciting integration of InfoDrainage software with Civil 3D, a development with the potential to revolutionize drainage design in civil engineering. With its advanced features and capabilities for both traditional and green infrastructure, InfoDrainage aligns perfectly with the versatile functionalities of Civil 3D, paving the way for more-streamlined, efficient, and environmentally sustainable design workflows. We will explore the unique features of InfoDrainage, how they can be integrated with Civil 3D, and the benefits of this integration in improving the accuracy and speed of drainage designs. We'll provide practical insights into the integration process, giving you a clear understanding of how to use these tools effectively in your projects.

In this session, we’ll combine the power of InfraWorks software and InfoDrainage to locate and design basins for a proposed 5,000-lot subdivision in Colorado. You’ll learn how to import the architect’s lot layout and overlay on the existing Civil 3D surface in InfraWorks. We’ll cover how to export new locations into Civil 3D, and how to lay out basin, pipes, swales, channel, and so on in InfoDrainage. Once set up and fully tested, repeating the process with new architect layouts will be a breeze!

InfoDrainage for Civil 3D software is a tool designed to support the requirements of delivering BIM (Building Information Modeling) compliance with optimized drainage design workflows. Civil 3D pipe networks and surfaces can be created from InfoDrainage networks or vice-versa and kept up to date via Parts Mapping. With InfoDrainage providing the tools to design, optimize, analyze, and compare drainage designs, gaining approval can be easy. Including traditional drainage and green infrastructure elements as 3D objects, the design remains true to site, helping to better communicate and support sustainable design approaches. Drainage designs involve iterative changes, which can be a painful and time-consuming process. Round-tripping is supported from InfoDrainage to Civil 3D networks, which can help to reduce data errors during required model updates. Using InfoDrainage for Civil 3D, engineers can efficiently represent their designs, giving greater confidence in the validity and accuracy of design information.

The rupture of the dam in Ayrton Senna Park in Brazil impaired one of the few tourist attractions in a small town in the Brazilian countryside, generating significant social and environmental impact. Schettini Engenharia understood that for this atypical situation, it would be necessary to bring together some strategic partners to develop the entire building information modeling (BIM) solution with the help of geographic information system (GIS) solutions, starting the first smart-city project in the region. Using Autodesk and Innovyze solutions, the firm aimed to adopt sustainable practices in its proposal, mitigating part of the damage caused by the rupture of this dam, and bringing safety and better quality of life to this community. In this challenging dam case study, you’ll learn the workflow between the following tools: ReCap software, Civil 3D software, Revit software, Autodesk Docs software, Navisworks software, Unity, InfoDrainage, and InfoWorks ICM.

According to HABITAT III, roughly a quarter of the world's urban population—equivalent to the combined populations of Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States—lives in slums. In São Paulo, IBGE found that 1.2+ million people live in slums. These areas are becoming increasingly dense, which poses a challenge for sewage and drainage systems. Paraisópolis is the densest slum in São Paulo, and its streams have been occupied by housing. Sondotécnica presents Autodesk technology—Civil 3D, ReCap, Revit, InfraWorks, InfoWorks ICM, and InfoDrainage software—as a solution. Through building information modeling (BIM), we interpret the existing situation and can perform the simulation and validation of the sanitary sewage and drainage project, restoring the stream clean and integrated into urban life. The goal is to transform the slums into sustainable environments.
