Civils 3D Petrol interceptor and pumping stations

[Anonymous]

Hi

Is there a way to model an intelligent petrol interceptor and pumping station in Civils 3D?

If so will these integrate with Windes?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean by "intelligent".

You can create a petrol interceptor or pumping station which will take on the correct apperance by using part builder and add information to it, warning though using part builder is very combersome and counterintuative.

As for passing the information to windes. It will import via the sws / fws windes import as a network containing manholes and pipework with the relevant sizes and levels so long as they are within the pip file but you would still need to model any specifics relative to the pump chamber and interceptor thereafter.

Ask yourself, does the civil3d object need to be correct to the shape & size if not I would just use a standard chamber and modify the chamber specifics in windes. The information will only pass through in terms of size, diameter and levels. I have not tried any square chambers so it may be possible to model a interceptor as a square box and pass the information through in this way. I imagine it's not worth it though.
