Good day Forum,
I am requiring assistance. I am new to the AutoDesk suite of Civil 3D, SSA and Hydroflow.
I need to model open channel flow for a stormwater project and I am seeking guidance on how to do this. From my understanding, it seems that Civil 3D cannot model a open channel in the Pipe Network creation tool (no open channel family part/component) and therefore does not support import/export between Civil 3D/SSA. Would Hydroflow be better suited? My current understanding is such:
- Model the open channel as a pipe network and export to SSA (to get the elevation data and layout)
- Analyse in SSA as a Open Channel to determine paremeters.
- Use paramerters from SSA to draw channel in Civil 3D
Any videos, tutorials or materials on best practice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
