InfoWorks WS Pro - Subscription

Overview With Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro, engineers can accurately model water distribution systems. Plan for the short- and long-term horizons in a collaborative, multi-user cloud environment. Analyze outages to determine out-of-service customers. Find out how to limit disruption. Accurately represent system operations in record speed, including a wide range of pumps and valves.

What can you do with InfoWorks WS?

Boost efficiency in representing real water systems Automate the connection to third-party applications such as GIS and telemetry, shortening model building time while ensuring model results reflect the real system. InfoWorks WS Pro improves productivity and provides a reliable decision-support tool.	Improve team productivity with reliable database operations Scalable, enterprise-access hydraulic models provide multi-user editing, version-controlled model tracking to resolve conflicts between changes, customizable user permissions, and data flags to keep track of changes in the model.	Quickly and accurately model water systems Build, edit, and run complete hydraulic models accurately and efficiently for any stage of the represented network infrastructure lifecycle, from planning and design to operations and maintenance.

Key Features

Collaborate on the same file Multiple users can edit the same model simultaneously, with conflict resolution and version control	Corporate integration Build and keep models up to date automatically by connecting to third-party data such as GIS and telemetry	Streamlined model building Infer missing network values from existing data to fill in data gaps with reasonable values	Allocate demands Assign customer point and area-based (land use) demands to nodes in the network using various methods
Connect to telemetry Use the connection to telemetry to perform demand area analysis, calibration, and leakage simulations	Extreme computational power Share computing resources across teams with multi-core simulations to maximize hardware resources	Generalized multi-run (GMR) Run a simulation many times using cloud scalability, modifying one or two values each time	Comprehensive system analysis Improve water systems, including fire flow, water quality, flushing, and pipe shutdown
Mimic operations Realistically represent pump and valve controls and demands, and model elements (hydrants, meters) explicitly	Confirm system resilience Find customers affected by an incident and show where parallel pipes can add resilience with criticality link analysis	Clearly displayed results Color-coded contours and thematic maps of the network clearly show element properties and results	Flexible result queries Use a built-in library of SQL queries to review results and add as many queries as you need

Features

• Hybrid UI for desktop and cloud - Get the cloud capability in the same installer as your Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro desktop subscription, making it simple to enjoy the benefits of the cloud.
• Easy model database management - View and manage your water database in the cloud with an easy-to-use, accessible website that includes database backup and recovery.
• Distributed simulations in cloud - Save server rental costs by using the scalability of the cloud to rapidly conduct compute-heavy simulations of your water network in Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro.
• Accessible results from cloud - Take advantage of summarized results from thousands of cloud simulations and on-demand detailed results from cloud storage.
• System head curve analysis - Results from system head curve analysis can help with selecting suitable pump types in the final network design, and can assist in planning the capacity of pumps.
• Better demand area analysis results - The reporting for demand area analysis has improved to make the key results easily available for reporting. These results can be copied to network objects for mapping purposes through a right-click option from the demand area grid.
• Database cross-version compatibility - InfoWorks WS Pro supports different versions of the database – enabling backwards compatibility – by toggling on available features and off unsupported functionality. When changing the version, you get a warning message that includes the impact of updating a master database.
• Supply interruption reporting - InfoWorks WS Pro now reports on how many customers were affected by an incident such as a pipe break, and for how long.
• Scenario management - Analyze and compare as many alternatives as you need to represent in the model, with different demands, pump controls, tank sizes, etc. Scenario Manager provides a user-friendly approach to explore alternatives while maintaining data integrity.
• Import and export of SQLs - By importing and exporting, users can now share the InfoWorks WS Pro subset of SQL (Structured Query Language) between models and teams to select and update network objects using specified criteria. 
• Large data management - Import, track, audit, and interpret the large quantities of data associated with complex projects quickly and easily.
• Tracing tools - Tracing tools (including Upstream/Downstream, Boundary, Connectivity, Proximity, and Isolation Trace) help you locate problems or anomalies in the network, identify isolated areas, and understand system layout.
• Update demand patterns from telemetry - As an essential part of the calibration process that precedes a simulation, InfoWorks WS Pro calculates a domestic demand profile within a demand management area (DMA). Automate this calculation to derive the patterns directly from observed telemetry data.
• Demand area analysis - Demand area analysis interrogates live data to provide a time series of water usage, unmetered consumption, and water losses, including leakage.
• Compare model elements - Compare elements and results in graphs, long section profiles, and annotations displayed on your network for a better understanding of the model.
