 WHITE PAPERS

Commercial White Paper: Using Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008   Autodesk
The ability to perform storm water hydrology and hydraulic (H&H) tasks is crucial to civil and environmental engineers. Currently, most H&H tasks are accomplished using Microsoft® Excel® program, or other third-party applications, with no direct connection to civil engineering design and construction documentation software. As a result, engineers are forced to transfer data between various programs, which results in increased time, inefficiency, and a higher risk of error. This white paper provides a workflow using software that increases efficiency in these tasks.
