InfraWorks 360

Dear Sir ;

Thanks, I have downloaded the free version of Infraworks 360 after some trail , but I have the following questions:

1- are Infraworks 360 is an proficienal software we can depend on it for rail bridge design?

2- are the 3D image available for all area of the world or this software is prepared just for USA?

3- what is the accuracy of coordinate data in this kind of image ?

4- are this software creating engineering detail drawings for all parts of the bridge ??

5- can we add on-site real engineering survey to some specific area of the image for more elevations accuracy of the design ??

6- can we use Infraworks 360 for both of precast concrete pre-tension and post-tension bridge ?

Best Regards

Hi @shamal68salih,

 

nice list of questions:

 

1- are Infraworks 360 is an proficienal software we can depend on it for rail bridge design?

Rail design is not the yet the best capabilities of IW. It is not a fully developed software for detailed design. Not yet.

 

2- are the 3D image available for all area of the world or this software is prepared just for USA?

Yes, it covers the whole world, it is based on BING imagenary.

 

 

3- what is the accuracy of coordinate data in this kind of image ?

http://autodesk.typepad.com/bimagination/2014/12/best-practices-for-using-coordinate-systems-in-infr...

If you go to model builder in the Home Page of Infraworks, and you hold your mouse over elevation you will find the detailed description.

 

4- are this software creating engineering detail drawings for all parts of the bridge ??

No, but you can export the bridge to Revit and you can create the detail drawings (but remember, road bridge)

 

5- can we add on-site real engineering survey to some specific area of the image for more elevations accuracy of the design ??

Yes, there are a lot of ways to do that:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks-360/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/EN...

 

6- can we use Infraworks 360 for both of precast concrete pre-tension and post-tension bridge ?

Dear Sir ;

Thanks for all your reply; and Im so sorry about my mistake in point 1 of my questions . therefore please change the word (Real) instate of (Rail)  as I mean :

1- are Infraworks 360 is an proficienal software we can depend on it for real bridge design?

 

and regarding point 2 of my questions ; what is the image specification using in InfraWorks 360, are it is raster , vector and Geo-tiff images? 

 

point 3- are the accuracy of these images is not like earth googlewhich are not high accuracy (different more than 10m in elevation in some area)

Message 4 of 52

Dear @shamal68salih,

 

to answer your question in an appropriate manner i would say:

 

1 - yes, it is good for real bridge design but you have to go through Revit anyway, to schedule, check details and design. It is a good starting point.

 

2 - This is the answer you are looking for:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks-360/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/ENU/Inf...

 

3. - It is ont like google earth:

Dear Sir ;

Thanks; as you know ,bridge design is so proficiently superstructure design and :

- it need to much preparation like Drilling  boreholes and soil investigation under all pairs and abutments for good foundations and piles design , but all these how will be in InfraWorks 360 ??

- the bridge area should be survey by total station survey equipment to give more accuracy elevation data (up to 2 mm) ,because this accuracy is needed for putting all precast girder to its exact location , but in InfraWorks 360 depend in stalight survey which i dont think that accuracy .

Regards

Hi @shamal68salih,

 

- you need to do a survery of the area you are installing the bridge. You can do that using PointCloud for example, a drone or any other equipment you have. Then you can import it into infraworks and will be much more detailed.

 

- the accuracy you have in Infraworks is not the one that gives you the possibiliy to proceed with a bridge installation. You definitely need to do a survey. There are faster and more accurate way to do that, for example laser scanning or drone survey.

Message 8 of 52

Unluckily dear @shamal68salih,

 

there is no soil investigation in the program. Not yet. You need to use this in C3D and then import layers.

http://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad-civil-3d/features/design/geotechnical-modeling

 

But you need to use historial, samples made previously or other methods to find out what's below the surface.

Hello, I hope my answers can contribute

1- Is Infraworks 360 a professional software that can depend on the design of railway bridges? You can model road bridges, you can customize one however the degree of detail that structural analysis software does not cover

2- Is the image available to all parts of the world?

The image is available to any part of the world

3- What is the accuracy of the coordinate data in this type of image?

It depends a lot on the coordinate system that works in the area, you have to keep in mind that the data has a margin of error for aerial photography

4- Does this software create detailed engineering drawings for all parts of the bridge?

It has a link with Revit Structure so you can detail the model of your bridge and quantify if necessary



5 - Can you add the real survey engineering site to a specific area of ​​the image for greater precision of the design elevations?

If you can link the surface of Civil to Infraworks just like the corridor and much, it sends you

6- Can we use Infraworks 360 for both prestressed precast concrete and post tension bridge?

It is not possible at the moment to model geometrically with the type of section and general quantification

 

 

regards

Dear Sirs ;

Are the mentioned program can design just the girders of the bridge or the design include all coad  requirements like :

- all moving loads design requirements

- wind and seismic loads effects to the bridge design

- all sub-structure design according to transferring loads from super-structure to all bridge parts like column cups ,columns ,foundations and abutments

- effect of water flow impact to the columns if the bridge is over a river 

- design of all bridge parts in regards the column cups size , column size , foundation size and thickness and pile numbers and length and size

Hi @shamal68salih,

 

first of all I think that these will help you a lot:

http://www.autodesk.com/products/infraworks-360/advanced-capabilities/bridge-design

 

http://blogs.rand.com/civil/2016/06/revit-structure-infraworks-360.html

 

As answers for your questions:

 

- moving loads

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks-360/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/ENU/Inf...

 

- wind and seismic 

Not yet

 

- all sub-structure transferring loads

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/infraworks-360/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/ENU/Inf...

 

- water flow

I don't think so, but I am not sure (90%). I'll go deeper into this. @ara.ashikian knows a lot more

 

design of all bridge parts

Yes but you cannot create drawings out of it

Dear Sir ;

Can you send or Show me some complete Road and Bridge design which has designed by InfraWorks 360 from the beginning up to Auto-cad  Drawings for detail structures and cross sections .

Regards

Message 13 of 52

Dear Sir ;

 Further to my previous question:

- can you tell me that there is real bridge is designed by InfraWorks 360 and its detailed project documentation by Revit and civil 3D structure programs ?

- can you advice me how I can transfer my accurate survey by digital survey instrument to a specific project area ? (by videos)

- I saw some of your tutorial videos , that the abutment side-walls without foundation , are it is possible in the practice ??

 

Beat Regards

- Why it is free for downloading and designing by it ?

note :

I have saw most of your tutorial videos , but I didn't found adequate tutorials for detailing the road and bridged by InfraWorks 360 in civil 3D auto cad .

Good afternoon; I have searched for some reseller in your area but there is not one, already licensed from other software? Country around is the one in charge
