Maintaining Engineering Excellence with iDAS Training Solutions

For professionals in the field, keeping skills sharp and staying ahead of industry standards has become essential rather than optional. Rapid technological advancements, changing regulations, and increasingly complex projects are just some of the challenges engineers are facing.
Meeting the demands of modern infrastructure projects, requires both technical skills and adherence to continuous professional development.

Common Engineering Challenges VS the iDAS Training Solution


Now, with iDAS training recognised for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation, engineers have a valuable opportunity to enhance their skills and earn CPD credits.
The iDAS software suite, combined with CPD-accredited training, is designed to provide engineers with a complete solution for productivity and professional growth.

Civil 3D and Devotech iDAS Storm and Sewer Networks

Sewer and stormwater network branches are automatically calculated, and each branch graded to ensure water flow from each starting node to the outfall node. Networks can be optimised by specifying certain design parameters. Sewer and stormwater networks are analysed within Devotech iDAS, without the need to export to external analysis applications. Pipes are automatically sized according to the flow and velocities of the pipes.

Civil 3D and Devotech iDAS Bulk Water and Water Reticulation

Devotech iDAS supports networked systems, as well as overland distribution networks. Networks are analysed real-time, without the need to export data to external applications. Devotech iDAS contains a comprehensive library of water network structures and pipes. This course will teach users all the tools needed to design a pressurized water systems in AutoCAD Civil 3D and Infrastructure Design Automation Suite (iDAS). Training focuses on bulk water pipeline design and analysis, water reticulation network design and analysis, pumps, valves, water tank sizing and clash detection. All the other tools needed for a successful design such as surfaces, platforms, COGO points, plan production and quantities are also covered in this course.

Survey and Surfaces

The main Devotech iDAS tools for survey and surfaces are the following:

Platforms

The main Devotech iDAS tools for platform design are the following:

Urban Roads

Urban roads design requires a lot of repetitive tasks which can be minimized by using Devotech iDAS. Very often the road centrelines are available as polylines. Devotech iDAS has a command which converts polylines to AutodeskĀ® Civil 3DĀ® corridors. All the objects are created automatically including horizontal alignments, profile views, vertical alignments, corridors, top surfaces, datum surfaces and sample lines. The designer just needs to focus on the actual design by adjusting the objects. Devotech iDAS also provides tools to create intersections automatically, to change labels for multiple alignments at once, modify multiple profile views and section views in terms of height and datum, as well as tools for quick navigation within the drawing.
It is often required to design a channel on the low side of the road and a barrier curb on the high side of the road. Devotech iDAS contains a conditional subassembly which automatically determines whether the road edge is on the low side or high side and applies appropriate subassemblies.
Devotech iDAS also provides tools for plan production so that the plan and profile sheets can be created for all the roads at once.

Single Carriageways

Single carriageway design can sometimes be challenging and the most important part is to keep all the objects dynamic. Devotech iDAS provides tools to link drainage and

guardrail details in the profile views (longsections) dynamically with the corridor. The other major benefit is that Devotech iDAS can link profiles dynamically with the corridor so that the profiles of the road edges are dynamic and they do not need to be recreated every time the design changes. Devotech iDAS also contains a subassembly for cut/fill based on SANRAL (South African Road Agency) requirements.

iDas Dual Carriageway

Dual Carriageway

Dual carriageways can have very complex geometry with different horizontal and vertical alignments for each carriageway. This introduces various width and height differences at the median. Devotech iDAS has a tool to link profiles dynamically to corridors which allows it to link the median geometry to carriageways so that the entire corridor updates automatically. Other tools allow the user to link drainage and guardrail details in the profile views (longsections) dynamically to the corridor. Devotech iDAS also provides various subassemblies which can be used for the dual carriageways:

Stormwater & Sewer Networks

The main Devotech iDAS tools for stormwater networks design and analysis are the following:
