Description
Complete Hydrologic and Hydraulic Solution
Carlson Hydrology can be purchased as a standalone module or as part of the Civil Suite which also includes Survey, Civil and GIS. It can run standalone with the included license of IntelliCAD or on top of a separately purchased license of full AutoCAD. All Carlson Software purchases will be delivered by email with your new serial number and download instructions within two business days.
Carlson Hydrology has full hydrology and hydraulic design capabilities but is also tightly integrated with HydroCAD. The features in Carlson Hydrology are comparable to the structure and pipe utility design features in programs such as: DCA/Softdesk/Land Desktop, Civil 3d, Hydraflow, Eagle Point and TerraModel.
Features
From Carlson Software, you get complex calculations of surface flows integrated with the DTMs:
- Tap extensive libraries on rainfall, inlets, manholes, outlets
- Calculate inlet intercepted and bypass flows, gutter spread and depth, pipe flow depth and velocity, and hydraulic and energy grade lines
- Get warnings for collisions, excessive pipe lengths, insufficient cover, lack of slope, excessive flow rates, and more
- Track runoff and analyze watershed – choose entire area or the watershed above a point such as a catch basin
- Design ponds, culverts, channels and outlets
- Draft sewer pipe dynamically in plans, profiles and 3D
