The graphical user interface, or GUI, is the desktop interface that hydraulic modelers work with in ICM.
00:11
This is where you access, view and create the model data.
00:15
All model data is stored in an InfoWorks database and is accessed via the user interface.
00:22
If you use a standalone database, only you can access the data.
00:27
To collaborate with other members on your team, you must use a workgroup or cloud database.
00:33
The workgroup and cloud database supports multiuser environments.
00:38
This means that multiple users can access and edit network models.
00:43
Team members can also view and interrogate results simultaneously.
00:48
The workgroup collaboration functions help to speed project delivery and support dynamic checking and auditing.
00:55
The InfoWorks Workgroup Server component is installed separately to the GUI.
01:00
A Coordinator Agent allows you to run computationally intensive simulations
01:05
on dedicated high-performance computers via remote agents.
01:09
This solution is designed for on-premise.
01:12
Contact Autodesk support if you would like more information on setting up this environment.
01:18
The 2024 release of ICM introduced the ability to store data and run simulations in the cloud.
01:25
All cloud data and simulations are managed within the highly secure foundation of the Info360 cloud environment,
01:32
which is built from the ground up around security within AWS.
01:37
You can refer your IT team to this overview of our Info360 security guidelines so they will be confident in our tight security measures.

The graphical user interface, or GUI – the desktop interface that hydraulic modelers work with in ICM to access, view, and create model data.
All model data is stored in an InfoWorks database and accessed via the user interface.
To collaborate with other team members, you must use a workgroup or cloud database that supports multiuser environments:
Note: the InfoWorks Workgroup Server component is installed separately from the GUI.
Coordinator Agent – used to run intensive simulations on dedicated high-performance computers via remote agents.
Note: this solution is designed for on-premises. Contact Autodesk support to set up this environment.
Info360 cloud environment – provides ability to store data and run simulations in the cloud.
Refer your IT team to this overview of our Info360 security guidelines.
