Key features of Autodesk InfoWater Pro
Discover key functionalities of Autodesk InfoWater Pro that help hydraulic modellers effectively plan, design and operate water distribution systems.
Model within ArcGIS Pro
Use geospatial tools to efficiently build and edit models, present results and generate maps
Model-telemetry connexion
Be more confident in your model by connecting external telemetry data for continuous verification
What-if scenarios
Create, analyse and compare what-if scenarios to understand the impact of model modifications
Pressure zone schematic
Quickly view the entire model in a schematic view and get a performance summary of each zone
Pressure-dependent demand
Water models can provide more realistic results during outage simulations
Fire flow analysis
Easily confirm fire flow capacity by evaluating and improving the readiness of the water supply to fight fires
Fix water quality issues
Analyse the movement and concentration of a single constituent or multiple interacting chemical species
Track old water
Model water age to control odours and find the percentage of water originating from a specified location
Valve criticality
Prioritise expenditure for maintaining the serviceability of key assets by ranking critical valves
Unidirectional flushing (UDF)
Understand the hydraulics when flushing the system, to locate pipes to be flushed and valves to be closed
Better network visualisation
3D visualisation allows for new ways to view model data and understand results
Transient analysis
Simulate surge events and test the effectiveness of hammer protection devices
Features of Autodesk InfoWater Pro
NEW
Cloud simulations for fire flow
Improve the speed of your fire flow analyses by running multiple simulations of hydrants at the same time through the cloud. (video 44 secs.)
NEW
Included surge analysis
Autodesk InfoWater Pro lets you simulate transients and test surge protection devices in what-if scenarios to avoid catastrophic pipe failure at no extra cost.
NEW
ArcGIS Pro 3.0 support
Model water systems within the latest ArcGIS Pro 3.0. (video: 31 sec.)
NEW
Background simulation processing
The Simulation Task Manager in Autodesk InfoWater Pro enables runs in the background. This capability empowers you to keep working on your model while the model is running, and to re-run any model changes immediately. (video: 1:59 min.)
NEW
Simulation report summary
Thanks to simplified simulation results, anyone with any level of experience in water modelling can easily understand hard-to-diagnose hydraulic model issues. You can also visualise and zoom in on the element of the simulated model that changed status the most. (video: 2:31 min.)
Control Centre Overview
View a summary of rule-based controls, simple controls, initial status, remote valve controls and variable speed pump controls in a single dialogue box.
Connection to Info360 Insight
If you don’t have access to SCADA systems within Live Data Adapter (LDA), connect to Info360 Insight to get data analytics and preview Info360 Insight patterns through LDA.
Improved Live Data Adapter
The SCADA Event Manager functionality allows you to create a library of separate SCADA Events that can be selected within Gap Analysis.
Demand allocator
Calculate and distribute demands based on both existing systems and future system conditions.
Protector
Model the propagation and concentration of naturally disseminated, accidentally released or intentionally introduced contaminants and chemical constituents throughout the systems.
Pressure zone manager
Identify and delineate each pressure zone based on its boundary elements and generate a hydraulic schematic for each pressure zone.
Criticality assessment manager
Carry out a detailed assessment of the hydraulic impact of valve operations on customer service and score asset criticality.
Scheduler
Determine the most cost-effective pumping and valve policies to reduce costs and provide more reliable and safe operations.
Designer
Find out the most cost-effective and efficient design and rehabilitation of water distribution piping systems.
Pump system analysis
Design new pumping stations that meet pumping capacity requirements and maintain optimal pumping efficiency.
Skeletonizer
Reduce excessive pipe segmentation by dissolving interior nodes based on user-specified attributes, while automatically readjusting demands to construct reliable network models.
Back-tracing
Run in reverse time to compute input-output hydraulic and water quality characteristics for all flow paths between input sources and output nodes.
NetVIEW
Allow multiple water utility departments maximum interaction with spatial photography by publishing hydraulic models to Google Earth.
Calibrator
Determine pipe status and roughness coefficients, pump and valve status, and demand distribution to provide a well-calibrated model that best reflects actual system conditions.
Water quality calibrator
Adjust pipe wall reaction coefficients to provide a calibrated water quality model and best reflect actual water quality conditions in the distribution system.
Multi-species analysis
Perform advanced water quality analysis, assessing reactions between multiple chemical and biological contaminants.
