Megamodeling for Megaprojects: InfraWorks Bridge Modeling Workflow

This presentation will showcase how HDR is using Autodesk’s linear bridge modeling workflow on megaprojects in Los Angeles, CA, and Ontario, Canada. Autodesk’s Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Inventor software are being used to create 3D models for elevated guideways, bridges, and tunnels, among other civil structures. The demonstrated workflow will show creation and placement of parametric parts in Inventor and InfraWorks software, use of Civil 3D alignments and corridors to define linear paths, and cross-discipline coordination in Revit software and Navisworks software. We’ll also discuss construction phasing, support-of-excavation structures, and use of the model as source geometry for sheet production. The point of the session is to demonstrate the dynamic ability and versatility of the linear bridge modeling workflow as it was used on two multibillion-dollar megaprojects.
