InfoWorks WS Pro Features

Collaborative modeling

Multiple users can edit the same model simultaneously, with conflict resolution and version control.

Integrate with GIS and Asset Analytics

Build digital twins with automatic updates by connecting to third-party data like geographic information systems (GIS) and Info360.

Streamlined model building

Infer missing network values from existing data to fill in data gaps with reasonable values.

Allocate demands

Assign customer point and area-based (land use) demands to nodes in the network using various methods.

Connect to telemetry

Use the connection to telemetry to perform demand area analysis, calibration, and leakage simulations.

Extreme computational power

Leverage the cloud or local compute across teams with multi-core simulations to maximize time and resources.

Holistic hydraulic models

Build, edit, analyze, and run holistic hydraulic models and simulate efficiently, locally or in the cloud, for any stage of the lifecycle.

"InfoWorks WS Pro has enabled us to take informed action ... ensuring that we get the maximum return on the resources we invest in the network."

— Kevin Henderson, Network Asset Modeling Manager, Bristol Water

"InfoWorks WS Pro is a hugely useful tool ... giving us time to plan ahead and allocate the correct resources that would mitigate risks."

— Andrew Tjiptadi, Service Planning Engineer, Hunter Water Corporation

"Cloud simulations in InfoWorks WS Pro were critical. It allowed us to achieve a higher level of specificity and cut down the time significantly."

— Ben Cheveney, Water Distribution Modeling Practice Lead at Arcadis

Questions? We have answers.

Both InfoWorks ICM and InfoWorks WS Pro include local simulation capabilities by default. Customers also have the option to run simulations in the cloud for greater scalability and performance.

Each subscription includes a set allocation of free cloud simulation hours. In certain cases—such as when running parallel or large-scale simulations—users may reach this allocation limit.

If you need additional capacity, you can purchase bundles of 500 cloud simulation hours directly through your Autodesk Account. This allows you to continue leveraging cloud simulations without interruption, scaling your analysis as project demands increase.

Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro helps you efficiently conduct plans, design networks (pipes, pumps, tanks), accurately simulate operations (pump/valve control, flushing, water quality, emergency response, leak identification), and conveniently assess network resilience (criticality analysis for both pipes and valves). Multiple users can access, edit, and run the same network simultaneously using flags to track changes.

Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro is used by water utility engineers who manage water distribution systems aiming to provide a safe and reliable drinking water supply. It is also used by water resources engineering consultants who perform distribution system calibration and plan modeling projects.

Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro is used by engineering teams who don’t require ArcGIS, especially if multiple modelers are in the engineering team. It also provides advanced modelers with the ability to explore scripting to automate model maintenance and the import of data from different sources.

InfoWater Pro is typically used by GIS practitioners looking to answer hydraulic questions. They can easily model water networks from the familiar ArcGIS Pro and use spatial analysis and visualization tools.

Autodesk Infoworks WS Pro runs on Microsoft® Windows®. See InfoWorks WS Pro system requirements for details.

More than one user, whether in the same team or across teams, can access the same database and work on the same network simultaneously. The database provides a flexible hierarchy for managing model data and offers comprehensive database management facilities, which lets the end users organize their work logically and efficiently. The person who creates a database can assign varying levels of rights to other users, and it is possible to set up granularity within a database.

Your InfoWorks WS Pro subscription gives you access to install and use the three previous versions. Available downloads are listed in your Autodesk Account after subscribing. See also previous releases available for subscribers.

With a subscription to InfoWorks WS Pro software, you can install it on up to three computers or other devices. However, only the named user can sign in and use that software on a single computer at any given time. Please refer to the Software License Agreement.

InfoWorks WS Pro is best suited for water utilities and engineering consultants managing distribution systems who need collaborative, multi-user modeling, reliable scenario planning, and digital twin workflows for decision support.

Many teams can become productive quickly using the built-in resources, training course, and technical hub, though time to full proficiency depends on system complexity and data readiness.

Autodesk provides self-paced learning content, technical documentation, community resources, and support offerings to help teams onboard and operate InfoWorks WS Pro effectively.

Capacity-based cloud compute helps teams run larger or parallel simulations without tying up local workstations, supporting faster scenario evaluation as project demands increase.
