Pipes
It's the Little Things – 2
As we considered last week, it is the little things that sometimes can make our day and before long we wondered how we lived without some of these little tweaks. This week we are going to look at another little addition to Civil3D.
Engineering 101: Manning’s Expression
A couple of weeks ago, we discussed the Manning’s equation as it relates to the Hydraflow Extensions. Have you ever wanted to label your pipe with the flow and pipe velocity? Join me for a little expression…no not, Impression..
Gone with the Flow
The new AutoCAD Civil 3d 2010 should arrive this spring, or rather be available for subscription download during some nice spring shower. [Just using history as my guide, so I don’t know when-don’t ask. Trying for a little April showers bring May flowers...] It is more because I want to talk about what we are [...]
Reverse Lookup Errors
It has been some time since I posted an actual blog entry. [That is to say I have a couple of drafts for the Engineering 101 series that are not completed yet.] My last entry in December about Missing Network Part Lists outlines a workaround for LandXML pipe imports. I have had one side effect [...]
Civil 3D Pipe Network Part Builder Survey
Do you use or need custom Civil 3D pipe network Parts? If so, please take our little Parts survey after the jump.
Road Collapse Caught on Tape
Thanks to Matt Anderson’s tweet, you can check out the stunning total failure of a large single barrel culvert near Freeport, Maine. If you’ve ever wondered why culvert design matters, here you go.
EECast: Autodesk Intelisolve Storm Sewer Extension
Join guest presenter and frequent civil3d.com contributor Matthew Anderson, PE CFM as he explains some of the features of the Autodesk Storm Sewer Extension (fka Intelisolve Hydraflow Storm Sewers).
The session will be held September 3, 12:00 to 1:00 PM (EDT) and will be recorded for future viewing. There is no cost for this session, but preregistration is [...]
Engineering 101: Storm Design
I have seen a number of questions on in the Discussion Group recently regarding the Hydraflow Storm Sewer Extension and the calculation that do not exactly meet expectations. There have been some misunderstandings, and some assumptions. While I am jumping over Intensity, I think this is time to talk about some calculation options because they [...]
One Banana Split !
There has been a lot of Discussion Group posts about the error in the HydraFlow Storm Sewers Extension on Import. IMPORT ERROR! An error occurred processing this XML Import.
Want to find out why?
Streamline Your Pipe Network Settings
I made a discussion group post the other day. Matt Wright was creating a new template and wanted some suggestions about pipe and structure layers and names. I have my ideas about what works well for me and I guess James liked it, so here’s what I do. Check it out after the [...]
