What is civil engineering software?
Civil engineering software encompasses a range of tools to help civil engineers during both the design and construction process.
These tools for civil engineers can help in every stage of your project including drafting & documenting, designing, visualizing & analyzing.
Types of civil engineering and infrastructure design
Autodesk’s civil engineering software programs help multidisciplinary teams better integrate the plan, design, build, and operations phases of a project.
-
Civil engineering
Civil engineering software can help you save time and resources by capturing survey data in hours versus days, and improve insights at each stage of your surveying and site development work.
-
Structural engineering
Better anticipate issues and assess information throughout your project with BIM (Building Information Modeling). Design and build bridges and tunnels with better predictability via our engineering software tools.
-
Transportation engineering
Promote greater project efficiency and delivery with infrastructure software that provides BIM tools for transportation such as roads, rail, airports, and ports.
-
Civil construction
Improve coordination and delivery with BIM for virtual design and construction. Civil software gives all stakeholders access to project information almost anytime and anywhere.
How is civil engineering design software used?
