Note: This guide is based on the April 2018 release of the Autodesk® InfraWorks® software. There might be slight differences between the software used in this guide and other versions of the software.

The Autodesk® InfraWorks® 2019: Engineering Design guide is designed for people using any of the following software packages:

Autodesk® InfraWorks® Autodesk® Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection

The guide provides you with a fundamental knowledge of the accelerated design process that uses data-rich 3D models with high-end visualizations. This enables you to create, evaluate, and better communicate 3D site plan proposals for faster approvals.

Topics Covered

Roadway Design:

Create property boundaries for parcels, easements, and right-of-ways Create and modify design roads with precise parameters Add components and decorations to roads Adjust roadside grading Apply and review superelevations in component roads Modify how design roads intersect using a standard intersection or roundabout Optimize the vertical design of a roadway
Create gradient maps based on selected feature sets to identify areas with low impact for site or corridor optimization Find an optimal horizontal design of the roadway which yields a cost effective and environmentally-friendly solution Run traffic simulation to analyze and animate design traffic

Bridge Design:

Add bridges to a design roadway
Work with bridge deck and girder cross sections Perform analysis and design checks on all the pre-stressed girders of your bridge

Drainage Design:

Run a watershed analysis
Create or modify culverts Create a pavement drainage network Analyze the pavement drainage network

Point Cloud Modeling:

Preparing the point cloud Create a terrain from a point cloud Create features from a point cloud
