Autodesk University 2024 in San Diego was a blast. Did you miss it? We’ve compiled all of the best videos about hydraulic modeling from the event, which you can watch on-demand, at your leisure. Each video also has a slide presentation and sometimes a handout, which you are welcome to take with you. If you’re an InfoWorks ICM user and you like data, you’ll find a lot to dig into here.
Refining FEMA Flood-Risk Maps Using Appropriate Technology: A Case Study of Brookings, South Dakota
Do you need something more insightful than an outdated FEMA floodmap? Let ISG‘s Jacob Rischmiller show you he employs advanced modeling techniques to generate more accurate and true-to-life flood maps using InfoWorks ICM that can help you set better priorities and provide solid advice.
Integration of BIM and Hydraulic Modeling into a Single Workflow
The development of information flows in each phase of asset life enables integration and interoperability between design applications (Civil 3D or InfraWorks), geographic information systems (ArcGIS), and hydraulic modeling software (InfoWorks WS Pro). Paulo Macedo covers network pathways, sizing, depth, clash detection, documentation, calibration, operational rules, and more, using the best application for each step with the smoothest interoperability.
Using Sensor Data to Drive Dynamic Hydraulic Models in InfoWater Pro with Info360 Insight
In this session, Nathan Gerdts, Adyen Baren, and Shawn Huang equip you with practical skills and tools to facilitate the integration of sensor data and analytics into InfoWater Pro water distribution models using Info360 Insight. Dynamically coupling hydraulic models with sensor data is a smart but often under-explored strategy, and it’s a key aspect in deploying a digital twin. They discuss the data types suitable for hydraulic models, the preprocessing steps required, and various integration strategies, such as the automatic scaling of customer demands to meet forecasts.
Climate Resilience and Urban Sustainability: The Need for City-Wide Stormwater Models
Traditional methods for managing stormwater have clearly shown their limitations. The conventional focus on site-specific solutions, while essential, does not fully account for the complex, interconnected nature of urban water systems. Mel Meng and ISG’s Jacob Rischmiller will show you a comprehensive, city-wide approach to stormwater modeling as a more adaptive and effective solution.
Model Coordination Strategies for Large-Scale Water Treatment Plant Projects
Stantec‘s Joseph ChuenHuei Huang and Raghavendra Bhat explore the complexities of synchronizing intricate intelligent models. Discover powerful methods and workflows for integrating intelligent models with tools like Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, and Autodesk Tandem software. Can AI and automation play a role in the streamlining of these processes?
Moving to Smart Water Modeling with Autodesk BIM Workflows and Tools
David Butts discusses project types (including dams, wastewater and water treatment and distribution facilities) and how to create a higher quality set of deliverables to create a true smart water network. Learn how to take your projects to the next level and improve outcomes with Revit and other Autodesk tools to meet your digital twin objectives.
Identifying Critical Water Infrastructure for Strategic Resilience and Risk Planning with InfoWorks WS Pro and Info360 Asset
You’ve heard a lot about “crumbling infrastructure”, haven’t you? Youssef Al Fahham, Nathan Gerdts, and Rebecca Willey show you how to pinpoint what might crumble first by bringing data to the problem of maintaining and replacing your most at-risk pipes. They showcase InfoWorks WS Pro software’s critical link analysis to automate criticality simulations, where areas of the network are isolated, and the corresponding level of service impacts are reported. Then, they plug the data into Info360 Asset to perform risk analysis, develop rehabilitation decision trees, and prioritize capital spending.
