AEC Bloggers Day 2009

October 19, 2009 / Rick Graham / 2 comments

Today was a great day for all invited bloggers. We were invited to a webcast tailored for us, to show before release, the Subscription Advantage Pack (SAP). I’m pretty sure there will be duplicate items blogged about this, so my apologies in advance.

The SAP is scheduled for release to subscription users of Civil 3D. We were in great Civil 3D company at this webcast. Many Civil 3D ‘celebrities’ were in attendance, such as Dana Probert (BIM on the Rocks and Autodesk fame), Peter Funk (THE man), “Junction” Jack Strongitharm, Jason Hickey, and I even saw a blurb from Dave Simeone. And lest I forget, our very own James Wedding was there too. These people (and many more that I didn’t mention) have been very busy for a while on getting this ready. Follow the jump to get my take on this cool event. Read more

February 10, 2009 / Matthew Anderson, PE / 3 comments

A few months ago, I posted about the Rainfall Intensity and some of the information you will need to generate an intensity-duration-frequency curve.  I want to provide a little more rainfall data, including some links to precipitation data.

Hydraulic Modeling (Part 1)

February 3, 2009 / Matthew Anderson, PE / 4 comments

Ever since I started as a young engineer, I have been tasked with the Hydraulic Modeling for many projects.  That is, I have used nearly everything and anything to pull cross-section data to model in WPS2, LISLE, HEC-2, and HEC-RAS.    Too many hours spent reading poor copies of dot-matrix-microfished data has left my wrist sore and my eyes a little tired.   At least people left me alone as I punched away at the number keys as a skillful accountant might during the middle of tax season. 

Back in the days of DCA / Softdesk – we drew polylines,  cut and labeled sections, and manually entered data.  When the tools became available, we exported the HEC-2 output.   The polylines pretty well stayed the same with some of the more automated tools. 

One thing remained constant – we always need to demonstrate, in plan, where this cross-section information is located. Read more
