We are being requested by more municipalities to perform a hydraulic analysis on the water system before we can extend water to the site. This is very crude doing it by hand. I have seen different softwares available that run inside of Civil 3D that will perform the hydraulic analysis. How others were performing hydraulic analysis.

Where can we find documentation or tutorials on the River Analysis package as it is with IDSU 2014?
We are in the middle of a few projects using BOSS's RiverCAD but with the new 2014 License files we can no longer use the AutoCAD 2010 that ran with RiverCAD.
So, I'm scrambling to get my user up and running with River Analysis and how (if possible) to port our RiverCAD projects to River Analysis with as little pain as possible.
I have to admit, I don't use RiverCAD and have not yet installed IDSU 2014. (I'm making the deployment now).
I'd really like to ditch having to support AutoCAD 2010 and RiverCAD....

I have a large 200+ acre site that I have created a volume surface and analyzed it using the elevation banding with color to show different levels of cut and fill. The owner has broken this area into 10 different irregular zones. Is there a way to do the elevation banding of a volume surface and have it color the individual parcels. They don't all have to be at once. I can do each one at a time and PDF the drawing.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow do I use Civil 3D to do basic pipe analysis computations? For example, I give it the slope, material, etc. and it spits out the flow velocity, flow depth, slope min, etc.
All I want for now is a basic tool for sizing pipes without all the bells, loops & whistles. I can learn the fancy pipe networking stuff later.
I can not get the slope analysis to come up with 10 slope ranges. My ranges are set to 10, but my Range details populate to 22? Screen Cap included. I've tried this with Equal Interval, Quartile, and Standard Deviation. Nothing will create 10 intervals.
My "slope analysis" surface style is set to show Slope, with the range set to 10. In surface properties, my range is set to 10.
We have an "original" existing surface of a ditch, a massive ditch. dredging has taken place and now we have a new existing surface of the ditch. the client wanted to see the delineation between the areas that are now 3" lower, 6" lower and 9" lower (and so on). I was able to do this easily with elevation banding. now the client would like some sort of GPS uploadable based on the color map that shows the banding. How to accomplish this without having someone set there and set points along the different colors on the surface. that is going to be incredibly time consuming. is there an automated way to export the data that I am looking for?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIt appears color transparency for surface analysis is now broke in 2013. It used to work in 2011 because I use to bring in Lidar data and run elevation analysis over top of aerial photos. I never found any type of resolution. Is Autodesk aware and are they working on this?
This issue reminds me of the Point Cloud issue with Lidar data right after 2013 came out. It worked in 2011 just fine and then 2013 they broke it. After calls to autodesk support and thread exchanges plus several months of waiting, service pack 2 for 2013 fixed the lidar classification issue.
I've tried to create a surface analysis by using a point group reading xdata to set the elevations and when I set my surface properties to display the elevation shades it will only allow me to set the range to 5 or less. All of the other analysis settings for direction, slope, and slope arrows allow me to input the nuber of ranges I want, but I need the elevation analysis.

I have access to the educational version of Autocad Civil 3D 2014. I am familiar with the program, but unfortunatley I can't access the Planning and Analysis Workspace in the workspace pulldown menu.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am modeling an existing storm system that is under capacity. After running the model, some of the flows seem to be incorrect. I have one section that has a known flow of 1.31 cfs. The results for this pipe section shows 28.82 cfs (peak flow during analysis) and 6.06 cfs (design flow capacity). The pipe section is a 15" with constructed slope of 0.0088 ft/ft. The max velocity attained is 23.48 ft/sec. I know that the downstream is undersized. Could this flow rate be caused by the downstream backflows? The model is setup as hydrodynamic and rational method. My inertial terms are set at ignore, time step = 0, junction surface area = 0 and variable time step with safety factor 75%. I have gutter bypass flows and my sag structures have ponded area set at 100.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe work on landfills that need stormwater control terraces and letdowns. It occurred to me to ask if there is some way to modify the water drop trace function (which examines a surface and determines the 90 degree to contours path) so that you could specify an angle to the contours of your choice. This would basically automate finding the flow path of a diversion berm. Any method of laying out, for instance a 2% flowline along a 3to1 slope or tougher yet, a face with variable slopes.

same drawing, two computers both with Civil 3D 2012 SP1.
one computer opens the drawing and the surface analysis by slopes shows perfectly, the othe computer opens same drawing and it shows no slope analysis but everything else. They can even change the style and analysis and can view slope arrows, elevations, etc.
We have to compute the average elevation along the front, sides and rear of a proposed building envelope to calculate the required set back.
Right now I am setting FL with elevation nodes at the required interval, assigning EG elevation and pasting from the panorama to excel to compute the average.

I am working on a commercial development with multiple large tenants with multiple standards. To begin to verify the preliminary grading is in compliance, I use the slope arrow surface analysis type.
Due to my multiple standards, I find myself changing these values frequently. My question : Is there a way to make the slope arrow the default analysis type when you are in the surface properties dialog box?
I know it is not a major issue, but it is annoying and repetitive, having to go to the list box, and select slope arrow over and over again. One workaround I have considered to avoid this maddening situation is to make two surfaces, with each criteria assigned to the surface properties and simply paste the main surface into each. Then control which is visible based on what I need to look at.
I need to create 3 hr storms for use in SCS analysis. I created new .pcp files and.cds files. The .cds file has three hours worh of preciptauon ratios establihed by the City I'm working in. The .pcp has the new total inches in the Custom row. The calculations seem to rum OK; but I am getting a negative outflow in the table at the 50 % point (not on the curve). I've looked a the distribution table and there is nothing funny going on around the half way point.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI’m using 2011, due to printing issues in 2013. My question relates to determining how runoff gets diverted, or spreads out, after leaving a well defined channel.
I have a street intersection scenario. It’s a “Y” situation in which the main trunk of the “Y” is curbed and contains all the water for the three storms I’m studying. Runoff flows towards the two streets that branch off. I need to know what percentage of runoff water splits during the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storms from the main (curbed) roadway to the other two streets - one curbed, one uncurbed.
I assume that velocity, runoff volume, storm intensity, street cross sections, slopes, and other variables play a big role in how the water diverts, but I’m not sure how to set up this scenario in SSA. Do I somehow use a weir? Do I use an open channel, or user-defined channel? I have a subbasin area defined with my concentration point at the end of my main curbed street before the water splits off. I’m not sure where to go from here when it comes to inserting links, weirs, channels, etc.
how I can set this up? I’m not even sure it’s possible to have the software provide this type of calculation.
