InfraWorks 2016: A Powerful Tool for Infrastructure Design
InfraWorks 2016 is a software application that enables architects, engineers, and planners to model, analyze, and visualize infrastructure design concepts within the context of the built and natural environment. InfraWorks 2016 helps you to:
- Aggregate large volumes of data from different sources to create rich context models that represent existing conditions.
- Rapidly generate and evaluate multiple design alternatives using conceptual design tools that incorporate engineering principles.
- Produce photorealistic renderings and animations to communicate your design intent to stakeholders and clients.
InfraWorks 2016 is part of the Autodesk portfolio of products for civil infrastructure planning and design. It integrates seamlessly with other Autodesk applications such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, and Navisworks. InfraWorks 2016 also supports open standards such as LandXML, CityGML, and IFC.
Whether you are working on a road, bridge, rail, water, or site project, InfraWorks 2016 can help you to create more innovative and sustainable designs in less time and with less cost. To learn more about InfraWorks 2016, visit the official Autodesk website or download a free trial today.
How InfraWorks 2016 Works
InfraWorks 2016 is based on a cloud-based platform that allows you to access and share your data and models from anywhere and on any device. You can start by importing data from various sources such as GIS, CAD, BIM, LiDAR, and aerial imagery. You can also use the Model Builder feature to automatically generate a context model based on a geographic location.
Once you have a context model, you can use the intuitive interface and tools of InfraWorks 2016 to create and modify design elements such as roads, bridges, buildings, water features, and vegetation. You can also apply styles and materials to enhance the appearance of your model. You can use the analysis and simulation tools to evaluate important aspects of your design such as traffic flow, drainage, sun and shadow, and carbon footprint. You can also create scenarios to compare different design options and optimize your design for performance and cost.
When you are ready to present your design, you can use the visualization tools of InfraWorks 2016 to create stunning images and videos that showcase your design in realistic detail. You can also use the storyboard feature to create interactive presentations that tell a compelling story about your design. You can share your models and presentations with stakeholders and clients using the cloud collaboration features of InfraWorks 2016. You can also export your models to other Autodesk applications for further detailing and documentation.
What's New in InfraWorks 2016
InfraWorks 2016 introduces several new features and enhancements that make it easier and faster to create high-quality infrastructure designs. Some of the highlights include:
