Infrastructure Workflows
Civil 3D for Rail Design
Support efficient rail design workflows
Use Dynamo to automate design, detailing, and repetitive engineering activities associated with both complex and routine rail projects.
Rail track design
Carry out detailed modelling and documentation of rail infrastructure assets across rail network environments.
Rail design across project phases
Establish project context and support conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design activities for horizontal and vertical rail infrastructure.
Alignments and Profiles
Use rail alignments to create rail lines with common stationing based on defined tolerances. Rail geometry responds dynamically to changes in parent alignments, profiles, and cant conditions.
Bridge Design
Connect Civil 3D roadway geometry to parametric bridge modelling tools in InfraWorks and custom Revit bridge structures.
Corridor Modelling
Create 3D rail corridor models incorporating alignments, profiles, and assemblies. Include switches, turnouts, platforms, and cant calculations within detailed rail design workflows.
Country Kits
Access Autodesk country kits that help align Civil 3D workflows with regional standards and local engineering requirements across multiple countries.
Design Automation
Use visual programming to create scripts that automate repetitive and technically complex tasks, including electrification, signalling, and related rail system components.
Platform Edge Design
Design platform edges for light rail and heavy rail projects using single or dual platform subassemblies with dynamically updating platform geometry linked to track layouts.
Special Trackwork Design
Design turnouts for branching alignments and crossover switches connecting parallel alignments using editable libraries of turnout and crossover configurations.
Civil 3D for Road and Highway Design
Road and highway projects from concept through design
Carry out in context roadway design and accelerate detailed engineering activities using Civil 3D, ReCap Pro, InfraWorks, and Dynamo.
Connected bridge workflows
Connect Civil 3D road geometry with parametric bridge modelling tools in InfraWorks and custom Revit bridge structures.
Corridor Modelling
Create dynamic, flexible 3D road corridor models. Simulate vehicle movement through corridor environments and assess sight distance and influence analysis conditions.
Design Automation
Use visual programming to create reusable scripts that automate repetitive and technically demanding design activities.
Drainage Design and Analysis
Use enhanced drainage design tools and workflows with engineering analysis capabilities powered by InfoDrainage cloud services.
Intersection Design
Create dynamic three way and four way intersection models. Design roundabouts according to engineering standards that integrate with existing or planned roadway networks.
Materials and Quantities
Use material data to generate quantity reports, calculate alignment volumes, compare design and existing ground conditions, and support quantity takeoff workflows.
Plan Production and Documentation
Create plan production sheets that automatically display station ranges for alignments and profiles based on predefined alignment regions.
Road Rehabilitation
Automate assembly generation for rehabilitation corridor models. Refine milling and overlay strategies to balance cost considerations and pavement performance requirements.
Survey
Download, create, analyse, and adjust survey information while supporting the transfer of field captured data between site operations and office based engineering environments.
Civil 3D for Site Design
Accelerate Site Layout, Grading, and Drainage
Develop site layouts in Civil 3D using rich contextual information from InfraWorks and ReCap Pro to support grading, drainage, and site planning workflows.
Improve Site and Building Coordination
Support stronger coordination between architects and civil engineers through shared coordinate systems.
Corridor Modelling
Create dynamic, data rich corridor models for residential roads, curbs, sidewalks, subdivision swales, parking areas, and related site infrastructure designs.
Design Automation
Use visual programming to generate scripts that automate repetitive and complex engineering tasks. Save reusable scripts in libraries for future project application.
Drainage Design and Analysis
Use enhanced drainage design tools and engineering workflows with analysis capabilities powered by InfoDrainage cloud services.
Materials and Quantities
Use material, sectional, and profile information to generate reports for alignment volumes, compare design and existing ground surfaces, and support quantity takeoff activities.
Pressurised Utilities
Create horizontal and vertical 3D pressure network designs. Model deflected curve pipe segments and use design and depth checks to support project standards and utility design requirements.
Survey
Download, create, analyse, and adjust survey information while supporting the transfer of field captured data between field and office environments.
Terrain Modelling
Create digital terrain models for studies including land use feasibility assessment, transportation planning, and water flow analysis.
Vehicle Tracking
Use swept path analysis to support planning activities and assess compliance with safety requirements. Animate vehicle movement using 2D or 3D visualisations with multiple camera perspectives.
