Description
Modeling a water distribution system has always been a tedious process. AutoCAD Civil 3D software offers tools that will greatly assist you with this process. For horizontal layout as well as vertical layout, Civil 3D can model just about any situation you will run into. In this class, we see how to create a 3D model of our water distribution system, edit the system to account for those design changes, and analyze it for design errors. Note that this class does not get into hydraulic analysis.
Key Learnings
- Explain the different parts of a pressure network in Civil 3D
- Lay out a pressure network both horizontally and vertically
- Edit pressure networks to account for design changes such as crossing utilities
- Analyze the pressure network to find faults in the layout of the model

Brian HaileyIn 1998, armed with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University, I began my career working at a general civil engineering firm using Land Desktop (LDT). Within a short time, I became the resident (self-taught) expert in LDT and AutoCAD and then learned AutoCAD Civil 3D upon its release. Today, as a registered professional engineer in the State of Colorado and CAD Manager, it’s my goal to deliver best-in-class support for GEI's CAD staff using AutoCAD Civil 3D, Infraworks and other software solutions. To that end, I am professionally certified in Autodesk software, have taught at Autodesk University eleven times since 2007 and won the AUGI Top DAUG competition at AU 2011. With a strong technical skillset and experience as a Civil Engineer and instructor, I regularly provide custom, effective trainings for any size firm. These training sessions include AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map3D, Recap, Subassembly Composer, Vehicle Tracking, and InfraWorks.
