Learn more about bridge design with Autodesk with our video series and learning path. This grading solution will also be mindful of earthwork quantities. The result of the optimization can be sent directly back to Civil 3D, giving the engineer great flexibility in choosing the best, most cost-effective grading design. Grading Optimization gives the engineer the power to more efficiently grade their engineering projects. Grading Optimization takes the parameters that you have specified and generates, very quickly, an optimal grading solution. Grading Optimization, available only in the Autodesk® AEC Collection, brings automation to manual, complex, and tedious site grading processes, helping you to save time while optimizing terrain surface and 3D geometry for further design. We see design automation as a step towards realizing computational and generative design for civil engineering.Īutomation is introducing new and innovative ways of working for civil engineers, contractors, architects and those on the frontlines of today’s urgent infrastructure requirements.Īfter introducing Dynamo for Civil 3D with the 2020 release, we continue to automate design with the introduction of Grading Optimization for Civil 3D. The BIG news: Grading Optimization for Civil 3DĬivil + Structural Engineering Magazine published Design Automation is the Necessary Future for Civil Infrastructure, an editorial penned by our very own Theo Agelopoulos.
Let’s dive deeper into the best new capabilities just released in Civil 3D and InfraWorks. You’ll have a chance to ask questions and meet with us (virtually). Here are the top five reasons you should get excited about Civil 3D and InfraWorks (2022):īetter yet, join our live webinars introducing these releases. Expanded reality capture capabilities to help convert the physical world to a digital model.Updates driving project efficiency with Project Explorer and Model Builder.More streamlined multi-disciplinary bridge design workflows.Enhanced conceptual design features for transportation workflows.New capabilities advancing automation for site grading.Our 2022 releases for civil design come packed with new capabilities and updates. Having good data flow between the products provides more flexibility. Civil 3D is the best tool available for detailed infrastructure design and documentation. InfraWorks is an outstanding tool for aggregating data, visually evaluating design concepts, and communicating design intent.
Autodesk maintains these resources to help our community of customers.Ĭivil 3D and InfraWorks have unique strengths on their own but they’re even more powerful when combined. We recognize the continued impact of COVID-19 on communities across the globe. Our product line teams have been hard at work over the past year to deliver 2022 releases of Civil 3D and InfraWorks. If you would like to join us to more directly shape future capabilities of Civil 3D and InfraWorks software, sign up for the Autodesk Infrastructure Futures program. Now, back to the topic at hand, at the end of this annual product development journey, we’re proud to bring new capabilities to you – which were inspired by you, our customers. Those of us in the civil engineering industry can appreciate how important it is to invest in infrastructure for the future. We also applaud efforts to improve drinking water and electrical systems, among other initiatives. The plan includes a significant investment in modernizing transportation (highways, roads, bridges, airports, and transit systems). Ok, not gonna lie, when President Biden announced his ambitious American Jobs Plan, this was music to our ears. Hello, Tim and Ramesh here from the civil infrastructure product team at Autodesk.
