Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is Autodesk InfoWorks ICM used for?

Autodesk InfoWorks ICM is an advanced integrated catchment modeling software. It allows small utilities and large enterprise organizations to model complex hydraulic and hydrologic network elements quickly, accurately, and collaboratively. Autodesk InfoWorks ICM helps you plan for capacity improvements, system expansions, and emergency scenarios for water and wastewater professionals.

Who uses Autodesk InfoWorks ICM?

Sewer and stormwater engineers, planners, project managers, and consultants use Autodesk InfoWorks ICM to face evolving challenges driven by regulations, level of service, customers, environment, and operations. By building accurate and holistic models, we’re able to predict how a system will respond to varying conditions. This allows you to better respond, plan, and fulfill the needs of your community. Plus, you can do it all using an industry-trusted, cross-team solution.

How can you use ICM to deal with the water in your service area today, while planning for tomorrow?

Organizations dealing with stormwater, flooding, and sewers face a complex mix of requirements, including the need to:

  • Keep networks running reliably
  • Cope with aging assets, growth, and climate change
  • Reduce sanitary and combined sewer overflows (SSOs and CSOs)
  • Limit preventable flooding
  • Meet changing customer service, environmental, financial, and regulatory targets under increased scrutiny
  • Mitigate risks
  • Communicate effectively
  • Make defensible decisions and action plans
  • Use resources wisely

Which operating system does Autodesk InfoWorks ICM run on?
