Computer-Aided Design for civil


engineering enabling professionals
to create precise drawings, models,
and simulations.
 Autodesk
• 1. AutoCAD
 Developer: Autodesk
 Overview:
o AutoCAD is one of the most widely used CAD software in civil
engineering.
o It provides tools for 2D drafting and 3D modeling, allowing
engineers to create detailed plans, elevations, sections, and 3D
visualizations.
AutoCAD
 Key Features:
o Drawing Tools: Extensive range of tools for creating lines, arcs, circles, and complex shapes.
o Layer Management: Organize drawings by separating different elements (e.g., structure,
plumbing) into layers.
o Blocks and Libraries: Reusable symbols or components to save time.
o Dimensioning and Annotation: Precise tools for adding measurements, notes, and labels.
o Sheet Set Manager: Manage multiple drawing sheets in a project.
o Collaboration: Cloud-based features like AutoCAD 360 for sharing and collaboration.

 Applications:

 Used for creating 2D plans, road layouts, structural details, and basic 3D models.
Key Features:
 Key Features:

o Surface Modeling: Create detailed terrain models from survey data.


o Corridor Design: Tools for designing roads, highways, and railways, with dynamic
updating.
o Pipe Networks: Design and analyze stormwater, sanitary sewer, and other pipe
systems.
o Grading: Advanced tools for site grading and earthwork calculation.
o Alignment and Profiles: Create and analyze road alignments and vertical
profiles.
o Interoperability: Integration with GIS and other civil engineering tools.
Applications
 Applications:
o Ideal for infrastructure projects like roads, highways, rail systems, and site
development.
• 3. Revit
 Developer: Autodesk
 Overview:
o Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that provides a
unified environment for 3D modeling and documentation of building
projects.
Key Features
o Parametric Modeling: Create intelligent models where changes automatically update all related
components.
o Architectural Design: Tools for designing building layouts, walls, roofs, and floors.
o Structural Engineering: Tools for creating structural frameworks, beams, and reinforcement
detailing.
o MEP Design: Supports Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing design with integrated analysis tools.
o Collaboration: Supports multi-user collaboration, where several team members can work on the
same project simultaneously.
o Documentation: Automatically generates schedules, elevations, sections, and other
documentation.

 Applications:
o Used in building design, including structural and MEP components, with a focus on collaboration
and detailed documentation.
