Exploring AutoCAD Civil 3D 2020, 10th Edition

Exploring AutoCAD Civil 3D 2020 book introduces the users to the powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM)solution, AutoCAD Civil 3D. The BIM solution in AutoCAD Civil 3D helps create and visualize a coordinated data model. This data model can then be used to design and analyze a civil engineering project for its optimum and cost-effective performance. This book has been written considering the needs of the professionals such as engineers, surveyors, watershed and storm water analysts, land developers and CAD technicians, who wish to learn and explore the usage and abilities of AutoCAD Civil 3D in their respective domains. This book consists of 13 chapters covering Points Creations, Surface Creations, Surface Analysis, Corridor Modeling, Pipe Networks, Pressure Networks, and Parcels and so on. The chapters are organized in a pedagogical sequence to help users understand the concepts easily. Each chapter begins with a command section that provides a detailed explanation of the commands and tools in AutoCAD Civil 3D. The chapters in this book cover the basic as well as advanced concepts in AutoCAD Civil 3D such as COGO points, surfaces and surface analysis, alignments, profiles, sections, grading, assemblies, corridor modeling, earthwork calculations, pipe and pressure networks. Salient Features: Consists of 13 chapters that are arranged in pedagogical sequence. Contains 808 pages, 50 tutorials, about 26 exercises, and more than 770 illustrations. Real-world engineering projects used in tutorials, exercises, & explaining various tools and concepts.
