Course Description

This hands-on, foundation-level course covers the essentials of Autodesk Infodrainage software. Autodesk InfoDrainage is an advanced full design and analysis solution used to design and audit drainage systems. It delivers speedy, sustainable, cost-effective, and compliant designs with tailored reports for compliance that accelerate the Building Information Modelling (BIM) cycle. InfoDrainage easily integrates with Autodesk Civil 3D, allowing for round-trip interoperability to update pipe networks and surfaces.

Objectives

The primary objective of the course is to familiarise students with the concepts and application of the essential functions of Autodesk Infodrainage. After completing this course, students should be able to set up a drainage project, create and analyse inflows, create & edit structures, connections, pipe run profiles, add SuDS features, analyse and report on the design and export data in various formats.
