Autodesk Announces New Infrastructure Modeling
Software for Utilities, Telecommunications and Governments
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - February 9, 2009: In a virtual press
conference on Friday, Autodesk, Inc. announced new Infrastructure
Modeling software products, which help users in utilities, telecommunications
organizations and government agencies improve the design and management
of their infrastructure. Autodesk's portfolio of products – including
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010, AutoCAD Raster Design 2010, Autodesk MapGuide
Enterprise 2010, and Autodesk Topobase 2010 – provides users
with an intelligent and comprehensive solution for designing, visualizing,
simulating and analyzing infrastructure assets and development
plans.
In Friday's live webcast, Jay Bhatt, Autodesk senior vice
president for AEC Solutions, addressed technology's critical role
in the design and management of infrastructure. By using Autodesk
Infrastructure Modeling technologies, customers can now aggregate
multiple sources of data from CAD, GIS and 3D modeling systems
– allowing them to help improve the design of new systems and
manage already constructed infrastructure more efficiently.
"Infrastructure Modeling helps professionals build an integrated
digital model and make better, faster decisions, whether they are
designing smart electric utility grids, planning city projects,
or managing complex telecommunications networks," said Bhatt. "Because
Autodesk provides both design and asset management solutions, it
is uniquely positioned to support the entire Infrastructure Modeling
process."
World-Class Design, Mapping,
Data Aggregation and Asset Management Tools
Autodesk's Infrastructure Modeling software products provide users
with world class design, mapping, data aggregation and management
tools they need across the infrastructure design and management
workflow. Today, Autodesk announced new versions of the following
products:
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010
AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software is a leading engineering
solution for creating and managing spatial data. Using open-source
Feature Data Object (FDO) data access technology, AutoCAD Map
3D 2010 software provides direct access to the leading data formats
used in design and GIS and enables the use of AutoCAD software
tools for maintaining a broad variety of spatial information.
For the Infrastructure Modeling process, AutoCAD Map 3D 2010
brings together geospatial, civil engineering, and utility network
data into a common CAD environment. New features in AutoCAD Map
3D 2010 include:
- Increased Options for Importing Survey Data: AutoCAD
Map 3D survey functionality focuses on asset data collection
and mapping. This functionality helps users organize, manage,
and integrate their field collected data within the AutoCAD Map
3D environment.
- Enhanced Data Analysis Capabilities: Seven new overlay
operations enhance the analytical capabilities of AutoCAD Map
3D 2010 geospatial software. Users can compare or combine FDO-connected
data stores for improved decision making.
- New Workflow Framework: Using Windows Workflow Foundation,
AutoCAD Map 3D makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks using
a new and powerful workflow framework and user interface. This
framework makes it easy to build, save, and share simple and
complex workflows using a visual editor.
AutoCAD Raster Design 2010
AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 software extends the power of AutoCAD
software and AutoCAD-based products by enabling engineers and
designers to use scanned paper drawings, maps, satellite images,
aerial photos, and similar digital imagery within their design
projects. With this tool, designers can easily turn scanned designs
into digital CAD data that can be incorporated into infrastructure
models. AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 includes the following new
features:
- Support for additional AutoCAD Products: Now compatible
with AutoCAD P&ID, AutoCAD Civil, and Autodesk Topobase software.
- More Deployment Options: Citrix Ready application,
enabling deployment via a Citrix application delivery environment
when used with AutoCAD Map 3D 2010 software.
Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010
Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010 software is a powerful mapping
platform for delivering CAD and GIS information quickly, easily,
and cost-effectively via the web. It helps to maximize the value
of design and spatial data by enabling information sharing with
customers and internal teams, as well as integrating with enterprise
applications. Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010 offers improved
performance, raster reprojection capability, and new FDO providers
for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and GE Energy Smallworld. In addition,
Autodesk MapGuide Studio 2010, the authoring environment for
Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2010, will be offered free to Autodesk
MapGuide Enterprise subscription customers.
Autodesk Topobase 2010
Autodesk Topobase 2010 infrastructure model management software
provides a single source of accurate network information for maintenance,
planning, reporting, and integration into asset management and
operational systems. Built on AutoCAD Map 3D and Autodesk MapGuide
software, Topobase is an open solution with industry-specific workflows
that helps customers reduce backlogs, enhance data quality and
improve operational efficiency. New features in Topobase 2010 include
simplified underground asset profile creation tools; enhanced reporting
and charting capabilities; improved Web performance; and easier
and greater control over user access.
