Design of water supply systems: Fundamentals and a brief overview
Water supply systems are one of the most important infrastructure buildings. The main purpose of water supply systems is the distribution of water to all its users. Water must be delivered in sufficient quantity and at acceptable pressure. Requirements such as...
Water demands scenario analysis and hydraulic calculation with Urbano Hydra and EPANET
As described in the previous article, Urbano Hydra connects AutoCAD drawing (detailed water distribution network design) with EPANET hydraulic calculation. In Urbano Hydra it is possible to create various water demand scenarios and choose which scenario will be...
Sizing a water distribution network using genetic algorithms with Urbano Hydra and EPANET
Urbano Hydra connects AutoCAD drawing (detailed water distribution network (WDN) design) with EPANET hydraulic calculation. EPANET calculation engine is built inside of Urbano Hydra which allows you to draw the network inside of AutoCAD, input all the EPANET...
Urbano supports BIM
BIM in general Last few years we are witnesses of inauguration and wide promotion of BIM technology in AEC field. Everybody is talking and describing benefits of BIM implementation, its possible influence on improving of all aspects of AEC activities. Most frequently...
Professional application development is a very serious job
Written by: Mr.sc. Dražen Galić, Civil Engineer I think that everybody agrees with the statement above. For a long time, StudioARS has been developing an application for designing of underground pipe infrastructure (sewage, water distribution, gas...). We have quite a...
Pipe infrastructure clash analysis
Clash analysis is very important in pipe infrastructure design and BIM technology puts a lot of attention to it. Clash analysis can be done in 3D coordination software like Navisworks but the problem with such software is that they treat pipe networks as any other...
Pipe network quantity take-off analysis in Navisworks
Using 3D coordination software for tasks like clash detection, quantity take-off, 4D and 5D analysis is standard part of BIM workflows. Quantity take-off estimation in Navisworks is called quantification. It’s necessary to clarify that software like Navisworks can’t...
