Introducing the ICM GUI for a multiuser environment

Describe how the graphical user interface works within a multiuser environment.


The graphical user interface, or GUI – the desktop interface that hydraulic modelers work with in ICM to access, view, and create model data.

All model data is stored in an InfoWorks database and accessed via the user interface.

In the InfoWorks ICM user interface, an example sewer model is open on the GeoPlan; and in the expanded File menu, Open is selected, with Open/Create database selected in the flyout.

To collaborate with other team members, you must use a workgroup or cloud database that supports multiuser environments:

  • Access and edit network models
  • View and interrogate results simultaneously
  • Speed project delivery
  • Support dynamic checking and auditing

The Open/Create dialog box, with the Cloud and Workgroup database options highlighted in red.

Note: the InfoWorks Workgroup Server component is installed separately from the GUI.

In Autodesk account, on the All Products and Services page, the tile with an Install button for the InfoWorks Workgroup Server is highlighted in red.

Coordinator Agent – used to run intensive simulations on dedicated high-performance computers via remote agents.

Note: this solution is designed for on-premises. Contact Autodesk support to set up this environment.

Info360 cloud environment – provides ability to store data and run simulations in the cloud.
