Autodesk announced new software for infrastructure modeling for the utilities, telecommunications, and public sector industries
The latest applications improve the design and management of infrastructure projects: AutoCAD Map 3D 2010, AutoCAD Raster Design 2010, Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010, and Autodesk Topobase 2010
The company Autodesk, a leader in design software, today announced new software products in infrastructure modeling that help users in the utilities, telecommunications, and government sectors improve the design and management of infrastructure. The Autodesk product portfolio, including solutions like AutoCAD Map 3D 2010, AutoCAD Raster Design 2010, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010, and Autodesk Topobase 2010, provides users with intelligent and comprehensive solutions for designing, visualizing, simulating, and analyzing both existing assets and planned construction.
“Infrastructure modeling enables professionals to build an integrated digital model and make better and faster decisions, whether they are designing smart electric grids, planning urban projects, or managing complex telecommunications networks,” said Jay Bhatt, senior vice president for AEC solutions at Autodesk. “Because Autodesk provides solutions for both design and management, it is uniquely positioned to support the processes of infrastructure modeling.”
State-of-the-art tools for design, mapping, data aggregation, and asset management Autodesk's infrastructure modeling software products provide users with top-quality tools for design, mapping, data aggregation, and asset management that they need for their work in designing and managing their infrastructures. Today, Autodesk announced new versions of the following products:
Autodesk Topobase 2010, infrastructure model management software, provides a single source of accurate network information for maintenance, planning, reporting, and integration into asset management and operational systems. Topobase, built on AutoCAD Map 3D and Autodesk MapGuide software, is an open solution with industry-specific workflows that help customers eliminate redundancies, improve data quality, and increase operational efficiency. New features in Topobase 2010 include tools for easier creation of profiles for underground infrastructure, enhanced reporting and graphical capabilities, more efficient web access, and easier and more effective management of user access.
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software is a leading solution for creating and managing spatial data. Utilizing Feature Data Object (FDO) technology based on open standards, AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 provides direct access to the most commonly used data formats in design and GIS, and enables the use of software tools in AutoCAD for maintaining a wide range of spatial information. For infrastructure modeling purposes, AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 integrates geospatial, construction, and utility network data into a unified CAD environment. Innovations in AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 include:
Enhanced capabilities for importing mapping data—Mapping functionality in AutoCAD Map 3D focuses on the collection and mapping of asset data. This functionality helps users organize, manage, and integrate their data within the AutoCAD Map 3D environment.
Improved data analysis options—Seven new spatial operators enhance the analytical capabilities of AutoCAD Map 3D 2010. Users can compare or combine FDO-based data sources for better decision-making.
New workflow environment—Using Windows Workflow Foundation, AutoCAD Map 3D facilitates the automation of repetitive tasks through a new, powerful environment and user interface. This framework simplifies the building, storing, and sharing of both simple and complex processes using a visualization editor.
AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 extends the power of AutoCAD software and products built on the AutoCAD platform by allowing designers to leverage scanned paper drawings, maps, satellite images, aerial photographs, and similar digital resources within their design projects. With this tool, designers can easily transform paper data into digital CAD data that can be integrated into infrastructure models. Innovations in AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 include:
Support for additional platform products—now compatible with AutoCAD P&ID, AutoCAD Civil, and Autodesk Topobase.
Wider deployment options—Citrix Ready applications enabling deployment through Citrix application environments alongside AutoCAD Map 3D 2010.
The software Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010 is a powerful mapping platform for rapid access to CAD and GIS information via the web. It helps maximize the value of CAD and spatial data through sharing capabilities with customers and internal teams and integration with enterprise applications. Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010 offers improved performance, raster projection capabilities, and new FDO providers for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and GE Energy Smallworld. Additionally, all licensed customers of Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise software will be offered the Autodesk MapGuide Studio 2010 solution free of charge, a development environment for Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010.
