Key features of InfoDrainage 2023

InfoDrainage enables designers, engineers, consultants, developers, reviewers, approving authorities and water companies to design and audit drainage systems.

Import and export Civil 3D catchments in InfoDrainage for Civil 3D: Create catchments by exporting to InfoDrainage from Civil 3D, including the outline and properties of the catchment and connection to structures to minimise model set-up time in InfoDrainage.

Annotations: Use annotations to speed up communications and reduce the work needed to produce CAD drawings. You’ll have flexibility to set up specific information relevant to the project as well as prefices and units as required for submission to regulatory authorities.

Critical by Return Period: You can now sort results by Critical by Return Period to view the worst-case storm for each rainfall Return Period pairing (30 years, 100 years, 100 years plus 30% climate change). This lets you easily produce reports that comply with regulatory requirements.

Import pipes and manholes from CAD files: Import connections and junctions from CAD files to reduce manual steps tracing existing data from .dwg and .dxf files. Available separately or combined when importing a pipe network, saving time in model set-up.

Head unit flow objects: A head unit flow object is now available for SWMM networks. This enables a 2D boundary object whose boundary line type property is set to Level & Head/Discharge to be associated with a head unit flow table.

Depth varying Manning’s roughness: The option to include roughness definitions implemented in 2021.4 has now been extended to SWMM networks. This lets you better define ground conditions and calibrate models to different flow conditions.

NOAA Rainfall Generator: The new NOAA ATLAS 14 Rainfall Generator can be used to download data from the NOAA's Precipitation Frequency Data Server (PFDS) to generate NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation frequency estimates for specified locations within the United States.

InfoWorks WS Pro

InfoWorks WS Pro - Enables engineers to accurately model water distribution systems. Thanks to a multi-site database, it facilitates collaboration between people inside and outside the team, as well as with their organisation. It simulates probabilistic scenarios for short- and long-term planning. Accurate system performance at record speeds, including a wide range of pumps and valves.

• Collaborate within and across teams and organisations, leveraging a multi-user master database.
• Simulate what-if scenarios to plan for the short- and long-term horizons.
• Accurately represent system operations in record speed, including a wide range of pumps and valves.
