The latest release of InfoDrainage, version 2026.1, brings a suite of new features and improvements that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of your drainage design workflows. The standout feature for this release is AutoProfiling, which simplifies the creation and management of flow paths and drainage profiles.
Streamlining drainage profiles with AutoProfiling
In the realm of drainage design, creating flow paths and profiles can be a meticulous and time-consuming task. InfoDrainage 2026.1 addresses this challenge with the introduction of AutoProfiling, which simplifies the creation and management of drainage profiles by automating the process based on user-defined criteria. Whether you need to generate profiles from specific nodes or from all outfalls in the network, AutoProfiling makes it possible with just a couple of clicks. Simply by selecting the segment of your network with the AutoProfiling tool, InfoDrainage generates a drainage profile view… automatically.
This automation not only reduces manual effort but also enhances productivity by providing quick and accurate profile creation. For engineers and designers, this means saving valuable time during the design process, allowing you to focus on more complex aspects of their projects. AutoProfiling ensures that profiles are generated consistently and precisely, leading to improved overall design quality.
Enhancing hydraulic simulations with Bend Loss (AASHTO)
Another addition in InfoDrainage 2026.1 is the Bend Loss calculation feature, which incorporates the energy loss associated with bends according to AASHTO methodology. This enhancement allows you to perform precise calculations of energy losses, thereby improving the accuracy of hydraulic simulations and reporting. Accurate simulations are crucial for understanding how drainage systems will perform in real-world conditions, and this feature ensures that you can rely on your models for decision-making.
Efficient parts list management
Managing parts lists has also been made more efficient with the improved Parts List Management feature in InfoDrainage 2026.1. This update offers enhanced organization and customization of parts lists, making it easier for users to select and apply components in their drainage designs. Similar to the functionality available in Civil 3D, this feature allows for better control and flexibility, streamlining the design process and ensuring that the right components are used in the right places.
