Description
Pressure networks in Civil 3D software have been around for a long time, yet very few people use them. A major reason has been that the tools have been difficult to use. Good news! This has all changed with Civil 3D 2021. Pressure networks received a major overhaul that make using them worth the switch from gravity pipe networks, or whatever stopgap measure you might be using. We’ll demonstrate how to use pressure networks for watermain, maximizing the new path-based workflow that links pressure pipe runs to alignments and profiles. Gone are the days of individual part-based design, including weird bend rotations and clumsy vertical design. Whether you only show watermain in plan, or need full profile and sections views, pressure networks are the way to go moving forward. So, come join presenters Charlie Ogden from Autodesk and Brian Levendowski from Kimley-Horn and learn why now is the time to make the switch!
Key Learnings
- Learn how to design a watermain more efficiently with the path-based workflows in pressure networks.
- Learn how to respond to design changes quickly with pipe runs controlled by alignments and profiles.
- Learn about maximizing to-scale parts to fully model your watermain, allowing automated profile and section views.
- Learn about designing with data-rich pipe catalogs that make for speedy labeling.
