Autodesk Infraworks

Planning and designing infrastructure projects in real environments.

 

Disruptive changes in infrastructure design

InfraWorks infrastructure design software supports the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. Conceptualize, optimize and generate visuals for infrastructure projects in the context of the built natural environment.

 

 

Create models based on real environments using real environment data.
Gather large amounts of data to create intelligent model designs based on real environments.

Seamlessly integrate design and geospatial data to generate a more comprehensive project information model.

Explore conceptual design based on real-world environments with tools that integrate engineering principles.

 

 

Infrastructure planning and design software

InfraWorks' infrastructure design software generates superior models, conceptual concepts and optimized designs based on real-world environmental data, and communicates through superior visual experiences.

 

 

Optimize design and communication with realistic visualizations.
Evaluate and design alternatives based on practical options.

Use analysis and simulation tools to explore important aspects of the project.

Deliver a great, realistic visual experience that communicates design intent.

 

Autodesk Infraworks features

 

1. Modeling based on real environment

Automated data import and model creation.
Build models with data-rich global content sources. And build models quickly using data collected and integrated in the cloud. Use vector data from. OpenStreetMap for locations around the world, including buildings, roads, railways and water elements. Access raster data from BingMap, global 90-meter resolution SRTM topographic data, and 10-meter resolution U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

 

 

Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS

Improve the real environment of the project to better create designs. Add ArcGIS content to InfraWorks models, create custom styles, and use field applications.

 

 

Features generated from point clouds

Extract linear elements from point clouds. Output linear elements, vertical functions and ground grids to Civil 3D.

 

 

Form topography from point clouds

Build model terrain using data.

 

 

View projects in the environment

View the project in an existing condition environment.

 

 

Model the existing environment

Aggregate existing data (including 2D CAD, GIS, raster, and 3D models) to create large-scale models.

 

 

Bridge design configuration

Copy the bridge design configuration from one component to another and from one bridge to another.

 

 

Area of concern

Design of development plots, easements and rights of way. Display them easily and accurately in InfraWorks models.

 

 

Automated data import and model creation

Create basic models based on GIS, raster, DGN, and SketchUp.

 

 

2. Conceptual design

 

Cross section drawing

Evaluate the elevation of the road design, road assembly, and engineering details such as excavation and fill in a cross-sectional format.

 

 

Ultra

Calculate the superelevation and apply it to any component road in the model that has a curve or a curve-curve-moderate curve.

 

 

Component road

Construct roads with curbs, lanes and shoulders. A parameter model created in Inventor and added to the component road design.

 

 

Theme palette

Intuitive classification of resources based on attributes.

 

 

Component-based bridge design

Edit deck and girder separately from other bridge components.

 

 

Management bridge assembly

Create and manage bridge components and content directly in InfraWorks.

 

 

Bridge tag

View bridge and bridge component dimensions in canvas tabs based on your selection and view position.

 

 

Terrain contour lines

View more details of existing and proposed surfaces by displaying contours and control intervals.

 

 

Smarter road drainage

Use Drainage Design for InfraWorks to create models of watersheds, culverts and drainage networks. Applying rainfall data to analytics-driven designs. View and analyze the performance of individual drainage structures or sections of the drainage network.

Infraworks can recognize and manipulate complex geometry.

 

 

Component road label

Displays in-canvas labels for component paths based on your selection and view location.

 

 

Roundabout design

Easily convert intersections into circular intersections.

 

 

Roadside regrade

Change the slope and materials applied to different parts of the roadside regrade.

 

 

Parameterized tunnel

Parametric tunnel modeling and design in the context of the overall infrastructure design project.

Create a tunnel on the component path by simply picking up the end points.

Real-time control of tunnel contour parameters.

Customize parametric shapes in Inventor and use them for tunnels in InfraWorks.

Release tunnel models to Revit.

 

 

3. Analysis and simulation

 

Flood simulation

Analyze flood projects based on multiple inflow locations and water levels that change over time.

 

 

Two-dimensional distance and slope

The distance between two points (horizontal and vertical) and the slope are measured in the model.

 

 

Quantity of material

Calculate earthwork on multiple selected roads, station ranges, and areas of concern (such as lots, road redlines, or easements).

 

 

Dynamic site analysis

Analyze using different data types from multiple sources.

 

 

Bridge line beam analysis

Perform detailed analysis in the cloud

Perform analysis and design checks on all prestressed beams of concrete Bridges. This is an InfraWorks cloud service that can be used to examine the structural strength of bridge beams. You can try multiple bridge designs and restart the wire-beam analysis without spending any cloud credits. Only the complete girder design document (available in PDF format) needs to be purchased using cloud credits.
When a user selects a bridge in a model or proposal and begins a wiregirder analysis, InfraWorks verifies the initial rules-based layout of the bridge girder and compares the design against the bridge design standards of your choice, including AASHTO LRFD, UK, Australian and European codes.

 

 

Measure distance and area

Determine the optimal placement of design elements.

 

 

Measure distance and area

Determine the optimal placement of design elements.

 

 

Shadow and lighting analysis

How might predicted shadows affect project design.

 

 

Step 4 Visualize

 

Real photo quality visuals

Create realistic images and videos that illustrate your design and help people understand how the project is performing.

 

 

Storyboard and animation

Generate dynamic presentations, including snapshot views, animations, perspectives, and flyovers of the proposed design.
