A Case Study for Generative Design in Horizontal Infrastructure

Have you ever spent time iterating conceptual designs of a project to realize it’s not the preferred layout, or, even worse, it’s not the optimal design? Ambitious targets for high-quality, resilient, sustainable infrastructure require accelerated digital transformation. Join our case study that examines the use of generative design in the horizontal infrastructure space, specifically applying it to the layout and design of a rail maintenance facility. By combining the use of Civil 3D software for optimization and Dynamo for computational design, we’ll explore solutions to complex design problems—helping to make a more informed final design decision closer to the beginning of the project. By the end of the session, you’ll see that, combined with setting parameters, design automation tools reduce repetitive manual work and demonstrate operational efficiencies, allowing more time to innovate and focus on design accuracy and quality while improving business growth and profitability.
