InfoDrainage is very powerful in its ability to calculate the appropriate sizes
00:08
and types of stormwater drainage system elements for you.
00:12
This is why it is advantageous to import CAD files that were started in Civil 3D
00:17
and complete the hydraulic design here.
00:20
Click File > Open.
00:23
Select the file Initial Model, which was exported from Civil 3D as an InfoDrainage file, and then click Open.
00:29
The Plan View updates to show the imported model.
00:33
For the program to automatically size the pipes and manhole elements correctly,
00:37
you must first load the appropriate rainfall data.
00:41
On the ribbon, Rainfall/Pollutants tab, Rainfall panel, click Rainfall Manager.
00:47
In the Rainfall Manager, under the Rainfall Manager Items,
00:52
expand Design Storms and select FSR.
00:56
Be aware that this rainfall data is not the most accurate,
00:60
so it would not be used in a real design situation.
01:03
However, it will work for the purposes of this demonstration.
01:08
Be sure to research and use the appropriate rainfall study data for your local project.
01:13
Next, in the toolbar, click Add—the plus symbol—to load the FSR data.
01:18
In the Parameters tab, ensure the Region is set to England and Wales.
01:24
For the M5-60 (mm) type box, enter 20.0, and for the Ratio R value, enter 0.400.
01:33
These values are representative of the South of England.
01:37
Then, click the checkboxes for both Summer and Winter to enable them.
01:41
Click the Return Periods tab.
01:43
Keep the checkbox enabled, and then enter 2 in the Return Period (years) cell.
01:49
Click the Storm Durations tab.
01:52
Click Default to select the default storms and durations.
01:56
These settings are representative of the average rainfall for this area and will suffice for this exercise.
02:03
Click OK.
02:05
Being able to see the pipes and manholes in profile view can help you determine how the design needs to change.
02:11
In the Tree View, right-click Flow Paths and select Add.
02:16
In the model, click the upstream (beginning) manhole,
02:19
and then click the last manhole.
02:22
The manholes and pipes highlight, and in the Tree View, the Flow Path is listed.
02:27
Right-click it and select Show Profile.
02:30
The Profile – Flow Path dialog box appears, showing all eight manholes and seven pipes.
02:36
In the graphic, notice how they are all set at the same level and depth going down the slope.
02:42
This is because they have not yet been designed to handle the correct amount of runoff for this area.
02:47
Now that you have successfully imported the Civil 3D model into InfoDrainage,
02:52
you can finish the hydraulic design.

InfoDrainage is very powerful in its ability to calculate the appropriate sizes and types of stormwater drainage system elements. For this reason, it is advantageous to import CAD files that were started in Civil 3D and complete the hydraulic design in InfoDrainage.
To import a Civil 3D hydraulic model into InfoDrainage:
Notice the Plan View updates to show the imported model.
To load rainfall data:
Be aware that the example rainfall data is for demonstration only. Be sure to research and use the appropriate rainfall study data for your local project.
These values are representative of the south of England.
