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.
