The latest Devotech iDAS 12.4 Update 1 (see details about this release) contains new features for working with pipe networks, with a bit more focus on bulk water pipeline design.
To help our clients get the maximum benefit from these new features, we decided to create new training videos for bulk water pipeline design. We recorded over 40 videos that cover the design of bulk water pipelines. The analysis and plan production are not covered in these videos. The videos are for beginners as well as advanced users.
The first 22 videos has been uploaded and cover the following topics:
01-iDAS Civil 3D templates
02-Pipe network catalogue and part lists
03-Surfaces
04-Convert polyline to pipe network
05-Design pipe network horizontal alignment
06-Create pipe network profile view
07-Display constant cover in profile view
08-Display variable cover in profile view
09-Import services from SHP file
10-Use COGO points for services
11-Create pipe network vertical alignment
12-Convert hor. and vert. alignment to pipe network (entire network)
13-Convert hor. and vert. alignment to pipe network (between two structures)
14-Pipe, structure, and network properties
15-Swap pipes and structures (reservoir, tank, valves)
16-Swap all horizontal bends at once
17-Add, move, and delete structures in plan
18-Add and delete additional branches
19-Add, move, and delete structures in profile view
20-Adjust multiple pipes and structures vertically
21-Adjust pipe slope and grade pipes
22-Assign elevations from vertical alignment
The videos are available on our training on-demand video channel:
We also uploaded the training videos to our YouTube channel:
If the feedback from our clients is positive, we will continue utilising our YouTube channel. Each platform has pros and cons. The big benefit of our on-demand video channel is that users can use "tags" to find specific videos quickly:
