Fundamentals of Autodesk InfoDrainage

• Basic understanding of civil engineering concepts

Audience

• Drainage engineers
• Civil engineers
• Designers

Autodesk InfoDrainage is a specialized software tool used for designing, modeling, and analyzing stormwater and foul water drainage systems.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level engineers who wish to use Autodesk InfoDrainage for storm and foul network design, both as a standalone tool and integrated with Civil 3D.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create, edit, and analyze both storm and foul drainage networks in InfoDrainage.
• Conduct 1D and 2D simulations to assess drainage system performance.
• Understand how to integrate data between Civil 3D and InfoDrainage efficiently.
• Design sustainable drainage solutions (SuDS).

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
