Autodesk InfraWorks 360 (i.e., automated 3D model building, cloud technology, and specialized features for road, bridge, and drainage design) helps civil engineers plan and design transportation infrastructure. It allows them to manage larger-scale infrastructure models created from existing data sources, engineer in context from the start, and generate proposals at the appropriate level of detail.

Project Boulder for InfraWorks 360 is our free limited technology preview that matches the simplicity of two-dimensional (2D) flood simulations together with the immersive 3D models of InfraWorks 360. As a collaborative effort between Autodesk and Hydronia, InfraWorks 360 users have the ability to simulate, visualize, and animate 2D flood events directly in the Autodesk InfraWorks 360 model environment while utilizing the Hydronia RiverFlow2D computation model.

Recently I posted a new build for download from the project. The update makes the technology preview compatible with InfraWorks 360 20i6.4. So now the requirements for the technology preview include:

• InfraWorks 360 2016.4 (commercial or free trial) // learn more on the Autodesk website
• Hydronia RiverFlow2D // learn more on the Hydronia website

You can access the project via:

So please give this technology preview a try and tell us what you think. Please let us know at labs.iw.boulder@autodesk.com or the discussion forum on the project.

Flooding is alive in the lab.
