Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011

AutoCAD Civil 3D - a decision based on information modeling (BIM), allows for more efficient execution of projects of transport networks, land use and environmental facilities. Specialists have the opportunity to fully explore the options of the project prior to construction and take into account all the performance requirements for the design. The program includes tools for analyzing spatial data, calculating stormwater runoff, determining the volume of excavation and support systems, automation of construction equipment. Civil 3D provides the benefits of technology BIM, as well as all necessary means to implement innovative projects

AutoCAD Civil 3D - CAD for the design of infrastructure:
- Built-in geospatial analysis
- Functions of surface modeling, grading and dynamic dependencies
- Technology of building information model (BIM)
- Intelligent design tool pipelines
- Integrated capabilities of hydraulic and hydrological calculations for controlling stormwater
- Dynamic calculation of the volume of earthworks
- Styles, standards for design and production of documentation
- Visualization and communication

Key features:
* Geospatial analysis at the conceptual design. The integration of raster and geospatial data helps make better decisions in the early stages of the project. To visualize the ecosystem project, you can retrieve the images and surface models from the service Google Earth ™, as well as from other sources. You can also import geospatial data, such as soil types, information on land use and environmental constraints, to quickly analyze the possible impact of various design alternatives.
* Surveying and coordinate system. Geodetic data processing capabilities are fully integrated into AutoCAD ® Civil 3D ® 2011. A wide range of tasks - import field book, the processing method of least squares, the task and the transformation of the coordinate system, editing of the shooting, the automatic creation of shapes and surfaces of shooting. This ensures that the composite design: points, shooting figures and surfaces can be used throughout the design process, which eliminates the need for manual conversion of coordinate systems and the transfer of data from geodetic applications in the application design. Introduction to the project survey data will automatically update your project items.
* Profiling and dynamic relationship. Models of complex surfaces in AutoCAD Civil 3D support dynamic connection with the initial data - contour characteristic lines, corridor models and objects profiling. Surface used as a basis for creating profiles, sections and corridors. Any changes to the initial data lead to the automatic renewal of surfaces and options that helps to save time and reduce errors. A set of tools for profiling allows you to simulate the surface for the projection profile of any type.Graphical and tabular management profiling are easy to use. Function profiling using dynamic models of the relationship between the corridors and routes / profiles.
* Information modeling roads. Based on specific local design criteria can be performed quickly build dynamic plans and profiles. Defined in the criteria for dependence continue to operate and optimize routes - for example, per-element and on the tops of the corners. Simulation tools allow the creation of corridors intelligent model of roads and other linear objects. In modeling the corridors of different objects using custom components cross-section, known as structural elements. In describing the transitions in the corridors allowed the direct use of trails, survey figure, the characteristic lines and polylines AutoCAD. Function interactively build intersections allows you to create complex models of intersections of roads, which reflect all the changes in the project.Models corridors may be used when creating the design of surfaces, calculating the volume of earthworks, bill of materials, construction of cross sections and in other tasks.
* Smart layout of the pipelines. System of household and storm water are based on the rules. Tube wells and editing using both graphical and manual input, for them there is also a function to check for intersections. You can create drawings of pipe networks in plan, profiles and cross sections. For the analysis of pipeline network, for example, marks, dimensions, slope and type of data can be exported to external applications for payment, or ispolzovatvstroennoe in AutoCAD Civil 3D extension Hydraflow Extensions.
* Hydraulic and hydrologic calculations. Using the built-in tools, you can perform pre-and post-project hydrologic calculations. On hydrological schedules in AutoCAD Civil 3D can analyze the model pipe networks, culverts and channels to find the optimal design solution. In addition, you can configure full reports for submission to oversight bodies.
* Collaboration and synchronize changes. Project teams can work on the same consistent and relevant model. Work is coordinated throughout the entire project - from conducting Surveying prior to the release documentation. With the help of external links AutoCAD, labels to data, and Autodesk ® Vault, project participants can share items such as surface routes and pipelines. One element can be processed in several design procedures. Design changes are synchronized in a single model, which leads to the automatic renewal of the set of drawings.
* Dynamic bill of materials and calculating the volume of earthworks. Information on the finished products can be directly imported into the AutoCAD Civil 3D to assign the value of property drawings, including AutoCAD objects and model elements AutoCAD Civil 3D. Supports automatic calculation of the amount of finished products, and reporting.
The possibility of calculating moving earth mass and volume of earthworks allow engineers and contractors detailed plan works. When you make changes to the draft AutoCAD Civil 3D can quickly create charts moving earth mass, which will give an idea of distances, volumes and directions of movement of soil, location of quarries and dump sites.
* Style, standards and drawings. Standards are an essential component of the project.Style Library, which takes into account adopted by different countries standards, allows you to control almost all elements of the appearance of the drawings, such as color, line types, spacing of contour lines and labels. In AutoCAD Civil 3D also has the ability to create your own styles to ensure preparation of drawings for state standards and standards of companies. Based on the style graphical environment helps automate the receipt of standard working drawings for compliance with all standards. Relationship with the model and drawings to each other is provided through external links and shortcuts to the data. When changes in the model updates all the associated drawings.
Compatible data. Access to data and import them from various sources is very important for the design of infrastructure. With AutoCAD Civil 3D, you can import and export data between CAD and GIS in standard formats such as DWF ™, Google Earth, LandXML, DGN and the SDF.
* Visualization and transfer of project design. Publication of data on the models in the format of Google Earth and 3D DWF allows you to simply and effectively convey information to non-technical experts and customers. For a more compelling visualization models corridors you can apply for toning various materials for the elements of the corridor, such as asphalt, concrete or gravel. Autodesk ® 3ds Max ® Design will help you to create photorealistic animations based on AutoCAD Civil 3D.
