Civil Infrastructure
This track focuses on using Autodesk® products to plan, design, and construct transportation, water, and land projects. It includes a cross section of classes that cover product information, workflows, and case studies from users and industry experts who use Autodesk products in practice.
Plant Design
This track covers topics that are related to the use of Autodesk Plant Solutions, including AutoCAD® P&ID, AutoCAD® Plant 3D software and Autodesk® Plant Design Suite in the design, construction, operations and maintenance of process plants.
Oil and Gas
Learn about the use of Autodesk suites and solutions in the oil and gas industry, ranging from upstream exploration and production to downstream refineries.
Water
Classes include best practices on using Autodesk® Infrastructure Design Suite for storm and sanitary analysis, pressure pipes, drainage, and river analysis.
Land and Survey
Learn about sustainable practices, surveying, and visualization for land projects. Classes also include tips and tricks for grading and for using raster imagery.
Transportation
The focus of these classes is the use of Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite for workflows that help realize the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for infrastructure. Topics include implementing BIM in road and highway projects, virtual design and construction, and design validation and visualization.
Autodesk BIM 360
This select list of classes showcases the use of the Autodesk® 360 cloud services platform and Autodesk® BIM 360™ cloud-based capabilities as they pertain to infrastructure and oil and gas projects.
Urban Planning
Learn about the exciting capabilities of Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler as well as complementary products and solutions for conceptual design and early preliminary design and analysis of infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure Design Suite
This PowerTrack will lead you through an infrastructure project from planning to design and right through construction. Learn about tools such as Autodesk® Infrastructure Modeler, AutoCAD® Map 3D, AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design, Autodesk® Navisworks®, and Autodesk® Revit® Structure software to bring Building Information Modeling (BIM) for infrastructure to life on a road project.
