About Autodesk InfraWorks
Autodesk InfraWorks is a conceptual BIM and infrastructure modeling software that enables civil engineers, planners, and designers to create, evaluate, and communicate preliminary design concepts in real-world context. It combines GIS data, 3D modeling, and parametric design to visualize infrastructure projects—roads, bridges, rail, sites, and water systems—within existing conditions.
Core Capabilities
- Context modeling aggregate GIS, CAD, raster, and point cloud data into a unified 3D city/model environment
- Parametric road design with component roads, intersections, roundabouts, and superelevation
- Bridge design parametric girder, box girder, and cable-stayed bridges with analytical modeling
- Drainage design watershed analysis, culvert sizing, and stormwater network layout
- Rail design alignment, track, and station modeling with clearance analysis
- Site grading feature-based grading with cut/fill optimization
- Photorealistic visualization real-time rendering with materials, lighting, and atmospheric effects
- Model-based quantification preliminary quantities for cost estimation
Interoperability
Seamless workflow with Civil 3D (import/export corridors, surfaces, alignments), Revit (bridge components, structural elements), and Navisworks (coordination). Supports IFC, LandXML, IMX, and CityGML for open BIM exchange.
