Let's dive into what InfraWorks 2025 has in store for designers, engineers, and planners of all kinds.
Parametric Components
A few improvements and additions to the parametric bridge and tunnel design workflows have been rolled out in this version. Parametric Model components can be developed using Autodesk Inventor or Autodesk Revit and added to the style palette within the InfraWorks software. These parametric components can be added to the bridge abutments, decks, foundations, girders, piers, and tunnel sections. What’s neat about these custom components is that InfraWorks can check for updates or revisions to these parts (even when stored in the Autodesk Construction Cloud) and update within the model even across all proposals.
When designing a tunnel, the Parametric Portals can be placed at the start and end of tunnel sections and can be manually or parametrically edited by the user.
For a bored tunnel design the user now has the option to stagger the tunnel section joints to mitigate any undesirable or cruciform joints.
Additionally, a bored tunnel Revit family section has been provided in the software.
##Structural Bridge Design
Ability to add multiple Line Beams to the analysis define generic load effects for beams and new support for custom girders with tendons.
