Analysis for Civil Projects

Course | Outcomes and capabilities
Understanding how your design affects the natural and physical environment can help you improve the design earlier when the cost of changes is lower. From understanding how hard surfaces on the site will cause more runoff to understand how window placement will affect energy use, this module introduces you to the various type of analysis you can do to make your design better.

Course modules

~15 min.
Complete a Vehicle Turning Analysis to Win Better Work
Module

Track vehicle movement and access in the project to win better work. Learn how to run a Swept Path Analysis in Autodesk Vehicle Tracking to check vehicle movement in and around the project site according to the proposed horizontal and vertical design.

~20 min.
How to Simulate Quick and Accurate Traffic Flows
Module

Welcome to this introductory module to Traffic Simulation, an Infraworks feature able to run simulations computed on the cloud that are used by Civil and Transport Engineers to validate and confirm proposals while designing roads, highways, intersections, parking lots, etc., in no time.

~20 min.
Customize Your Traffic Simulation
Module

Traffic modeling and simulation is particularly useful in congested conditions, where the free-flow relationships between flow, speed and density no longer apply. The Traffic Analyst Panel is an advance feature that will allow us to mimic real-life data scenarios, which enables us to extract insights to validate proposals.

~20 min.
Data-Driven Design for Alternative Proposals
Module

Once our traffic proposals are validated with real data, there are additional analysis tools we can use to emulate an as-close-as-possible-to-reality environment in order to add efficiency and save time in future. The more analysis within a conceptual stage, the less (costly) amendments during further stages.

~15 min.
Analyze the Bridge in InfraWorks
Module
A preliminary analysis can be done on the bridge inside InfraWorks to analyze line girders to make sure they satisfy the design requirements. In this module, you learn how to run a line girder analysis and a refined analysis before sending the bridge to the Autodesk Structural Bridge Design software for a detailed analysis.
