We’ll dive into each calculation for a variety of air-side and water-side equipment, and we’ll look at how to complete hundreds of them in a few minutes using Dynamo, and then transfer that data to Revit software. We’ll also look at placement in the model and automatic scheduling in Revit.

This session will provide an overview of 2 new Stormwater Modeling Solutions—Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) and AutoCASE software—that will help civil engineers and landscape architects design for the future. For decades cities drained stormwater with sewers, but these systems are fraught with pollution and flooding issues. In response cities have embraced a new “green infrastructure” approach to managing stormwater—partnering with developers to install absorptive rain gardens and green roofs to harvest water, filter pollutants, and provide a host of other social and environmental benefits. Autodesk, Inc., and its partner Impact Infrastructure have introduced these solutions to support this revolution. As green infrastructure is still a relatively new concept, GSI and AutoCASE software eliminate the learning curve by providing an easy way to design these techniques and analyze their benefits. This session features a case study on using GSI and AutoCASE software for the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District.

When Revit software first hit the market, users thought the best place for it would be in the architect world, doing simple, cookie-cutter buildings. Who would have thought that it could turn out to be a powerful modeler for non-traditional buildings, such as process plants, water treatment plants, or wastewater treatment plants. In this class, we discuss how the MEP tools in Revit benefit these types of jobs; how to work with your content providers to get the best representation possible; how to get more value from BIM models in other products, such as Autodesk® Simulation-based software; and how to position the BIM model to your client and their contractor. Learn what it takes to be competitive in this market with Revit as your primary modeling tool, and do it efficiently.

Municipal infrastructure engineering projects like mass rapid transit, improved sewers, and water mains have been booming over the last few years due to population growth and a focus on better urban planning to do more with existing city-owned property and road networks. For every project, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is required to do a full investigation of existing underground assets before the design is complete and certainly before shovels hit the ground. In this session we will first look at various best practices using AutoCAD Civil 3D software to build intelligence into SUE data sets and Navisworks software for performing clash analysis between existing utility objects and design objects. We will then end the session using InfraWorks 360 software to present our combined model to others in the Project Team. Using InfraWorks 360-Collaboration software, the session will show some inventive mobile field capability for viewing, photo, and data capture that you can post to the model.

Learn how to utilize InfraWorks 360 cloud service for conceptual master planning and visualization.

Learn how to reuse various data types from Revit software, Trimble’s SketchUp modeling program, and 3ds Max software, which can be used to develop multiple design proposals within a city context while also using native InfraWorks 360 tools to develop roads, water, and coverage areas. See how this new software can help you improve your productivity and reduce unnecessary hours spent on conceptual design visualization for master planning in your organization.

This class will present attendees with a solid understanding from several customer experiences with Field Asset Management software and include a discussion on best practices. In collaboration with a number of customers in the utilities (electric, water, communications, and gas), wewe will discuss field asset issues and solutions for utilities including field inspections and data collection; image and content capture for ReCap 360 software models directly from the field; and integration and synchronization with enterprise databases, including geographic information system (GIS). For the panel we will have at least 2 customers attending and 1 or more available remotely by webcam to discuss important issues in 3 broad categories: training and human factors for field workers; best practices for InfraWorks 360 Field Asset software; and IT requirements, including integration standards and security.

This hands-on lab covers Autodesk® software workflows to quickly create 3D building models and perform conceptual energy analysis using existing building geometry, operational characteristics, and local weather data. Resulting energy reports can indicate which buildings perform poorly compared to modeled energy use; managers can then prioritize retrofits and renovations by evaluating various energy conservation measures. We examine use cases and workflows for each solution and use Autodesk® Green Building Studio® to explore potential energy savings and sustainable design alternatives. We also cover best practices, benefits, limitations, and workarounds of various modeling methods. We use examples of real projects, including a U.S Department of Defense project. Attendees get hands-on experience building 3D models of existing structures, running energy reports, and exploring design alternatives to save energy and water and reduce carbon emissions and operating costs in this hands-on lab.

Having clear 3D visualization methods of the subsurface geology layers is vital for clients and the wider construction team to better understand the ground conditions and risks. In this class, you'll learn how to use the new Geotechnical Module 2018 Fence Diagram tool to create clear 3D visualizations of the subsurface layers, together with additional methods beyond the current capabilities of the Geotechnical Module to visualize other types of downhole data, such as, water levels, strength parameters, or contamination in AutoCAD Civil 3D software. The class will teach the steps and workflows required to create Fence Diagrams and cover, considerations on the classification of strata, techniques to update and edit the fence diagrams, and the workflow to share the visualizations with InfraWorks software. The class will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of sharing fence diagrams and when you would share them in preference of geotechnical surfaces.

Based on the successful construction of a sustainable water reuse (purple pipe) project, this class breaks down the steps for managing large diameter (20 inch +) waterlines on major (5+ miles) projects. We show the basics for modeling existing utilities, managing updates to utility models based on test pit data, and pulling from the AutoCAD® Civil 3D® road design toolset to develop waterline models. As we begin to dive into the pressure pipe tools of Civil 3D 2014, we discuss the transition to those new features. Next, we show you how to market the process of design on infrastructure projects, so as to show the 3D elements of what's still delivered as 2D paper plans. With expansive projects, the use of InfraWorks™ software has provided a great set of tools for quickly compiling data from multiple sources into a single location and present visualizations based on active design files to clients and the community.

In this class, you’ll learn how to use Civil 3D software to automate design and analysis of storm sewer networks with Hydraflow Extension tools. We’ll use AutoCAD software and Civil 3D to prepare data such as watershed and catchment areas, and lay out a drainage network for further analysis of hydrology and hydraulic in Hydraflow Extension. We’ll analyze hydrology, open channel flow, and culvert and pipe flow. We’ll also design detention ponds. And we’ll generate stage-storage curves, pond routing, and outflow hydrographs. We’ll use site-grading tools and corridors to complete design modeling.

Drainage Design for InfraWorks 360 software introduces new workflows for the use of the drainage engineer that enable cross-drainage computations and layout of storm-water sewer networks. Utilize the Watershed Analysis service to delineate watersheds and streams along your roads much faster than previously possible. This class will walk you through the drainage design process, from watershed to culvert, and we will quickly lay out pavement drainage.
