 Carlson Hydrology 2008 for AutoCad

General
  • Built on AutoCAD: Runs in AutoCAD versions 2008 to 2000 as well as AutoCAD Map, LandDesktop and Civil3D
  • Project Setup: Flexible data storage methods
  • Drawing Cleanup: Fix common drafting errors
  • Drafting Enchancements: Handy tools for working in AutoCAD such as Join Nearest, Shrinkwrap Entities, Polyline Utilities, Drawing Inspector, Layer Inspector and Twist Screen
  • Data Compatibility: Supports industry standard LandXML and scores of specific data conversions

Surfaces

  • Build Surfaces: By triangulation or rectangular grids
  • Contouring: One step triangulate and contour from 3D entities as well as contouring from surface files
  • Slope Analysis: Label and report surface slopes at selected points and slope zone analysis

Watersheds

  • Watershed Analysis: Watershed delineation, ponding analysis, and real-time inspector for flows and drainage areas
  • Runoff Tracking: Draws 3D flow lines that follow the surface model
  • Peak Flow: Calculate peak flow by various methods from runoff parameters of storm event, drainage area, time of concentration and runoff coefficients
  • Hydrographs: Route hydrographs from multiple watersheds through ponds and channels using TR-20

Hydraulic Structures

  • Pond Sizing and Design: Detention pond sizing, bench and valley pond design, stage-storage calculation and graphs
  • Spillway, Weir, Orifice, Culvert, Channel Design: Routines to design the dimensions and flows for structures plus reports and drafting for them
  • Multiple Outlet Design: Combines orifices, weirs, drop pipes, culverts and user-defined outlets to design the overall stage-discharge
  • Stage-Storage and Stage-Discharge: Routines to input, edit, report and draw

Sewer Networks

  • Define Inlets, Structures, Pipes, Storm Events: Setup libraries with parameters for these network components
  • Layout Structures and Pipes: Place structures and set pipe connections
  • DTM-Based Runoff: Calculates drainage area, time of concentration and weighted runoff coefficent from inlet location on surface model. DTM also used to figure minimum cover for pipes
  • Analyze Flow: Calculate inlet intercepted and bypass flows, gutter spread and depth, pipe flow depth and velocity, and hydraulic and energy grade lines
  • Size Pipes and Set Inverts: Apply flow analysis to have program set pipe size and/or invert elevations
  • Collison Conflicts Check: Reports any collisions between networks within specified tolerance
  • Draw Sewer Network: Draw structures and pipes in plan view, in 3D using 3D Faces and in profiles
