Why use Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro?
Collaborate within and between teams
Improve productivity with team editing of the water distribution model and smart tracking.
Efficiently simulate in a cloud environment
Conduct rapid analysis using the scalability of cloud.
Trust operational insights
Increase operational confidence through SCADA integration and detailed hydraulics.
What you can do with Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro
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.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro used for?
Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro helps you efficiently conduct master plans, design networks (pipes, pumps, tanks), accurately simulate operations (pump/valve control, flushing, water quality, emergency response, leak identification), and conveniently assess network resilience (criticality analysis for both pipes and valves). Multiple users can access, edit, and run the same network simultaneously using flags to track changes.
Who uses Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro?
Autodesk InfoWorks WS Pro is used by water utility engineers who manage water distribution systems aiming to provide a safe and reliable drinking water supply, and water resources engineering consultants who perform distribution system calibration and master plan modeling projects.
What is the difference between InfoWorks WS Pro and InfoWater Pro?
InfoWorks WS Pro is used by engineering teams who don’t require ArcGIS, especially if multiple modelers are in the engineering team. It also provides advanced modelers with the ability to explore scripting to automate model maintenance and the import of data from different sources.
InfoWater Pro is typically used by GIS practitioners looking to answer hydraulic questions. They can easily model water networks from within ArcGIS Pro that they are familiar with and leverage spatial analysis and visualization tools.
