Autodesk InfoDrainage 2025.5.2

Autodesk has released InfoDrainage 2025 is a full design and analysis solution that designers, developers, landscape architects, engineers, consultants and approval authorities rely on to: Design and audit drainage systems quickly and confidently.

Enhanced integration with Civil 3D
We’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to the integration between InfoDrainage and Civil 3D, aimed at further streamlining your drainage design workflows. This new feature enables the seamless transfer of hydraulic modeling results from InfoDrainage to Civil 3D, joining existing integration features, extending the capabilities of your design and analysis capabilities, enabling informed design decisions and providing you with more flexible, streamlined reporting.

Key features of the enhanced integration:
– Maximum Flow values: This enables you to run simulations in InfoDrainage and transfer the maximum flow values directly to the corresponding pipe properties in Civil 3D, ensuring that all flow-related data is accurately represented in your Civil 3D models.
– Return Period values: The integration also supports the transfer of Return Period values to the pipe properties within Civil 3D. This helps you establish the storm frequency associated with the hydraulic modelling results in the Civil 3D model.
– Maximum Velocity values: You can now send maximum velocity values from InfoDrainage to the extended dataset within Civil 3D. This helps inform a more detailed analysis of flow velocities within the drainage network, helping you identify potential areas of concern and optimize the network parts/materials to provide protection where needed.
By incorporating these additional hydraulic modeling results, users can achieve a higher level of detail and accuracy in their Civil 3D projects. The enhanced integration facilitates a smoother round-tripping process, allowing for more efficient design iterations and improved project outcomes.
For Civil 3D users, it’s now easier than ever to perform the drainage design process in an agile, responsive, and intelligent manner – part of the larger story of the power InfoDrainage. So, while this integration brings efficiency and interoperability, another key feature this release is flexible reporting, which brings a significant reduction in reporting tedium for users.
Flexible reporting in InfoDrainage
The latest release brings flexible reporting to all InfoDrainage users, enabling you to expose all of the available inputs, outputs, simulation results, design results, calculated values, etc., all in one table based on connectivity. Over the last year, we’ve heard this feature requested from users more than any other feature, so we’re excited to be rolling it out.

You can combine attributes from pipes, manholes, inlets, outlets, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDs) and sub-catchments all in one table as you need it – it’s flexible. Many customers previously noted that after they finished the drainage design process in InfoDrainage, it was taking 30 to 60 minutes or more to pull results into a spreadsheet – but that’s no longer the case – improving efficiency and removing tedium from the drainage design process.
