InfoWorks WS Pro

Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro: Collaborative water distribution modeling

What is Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro?

Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro enables engineers to accurately model and simulate water distribution systems for planning, design, and network operations.

  • Plan for short- and long-term horizons in a collaborative, multi-user workgroup environment, in the cloud or locally.

  • Analyze system operations to prevent outages, make capital planning decisions, and implement network improvements.

  • Build distribution network digital twins accurately in record speed, including a wide range of pumps and valves, and simulate past, present, and future states.

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 system (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

Share computing resources across teams with multi-core simulations to maximize hardware resources, or use the cloud

"InfoWorks WS Pro has enabled us to take informed action to line or replace the right pipes ... 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 to identify and quantify the consequence of asset failure, giving us time to plan ahead and allocate the correct resources that would mitigate risks."

— Andrew Tjiptadi, Service Planning Engineer, Hunter Water Corporation

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.
