Instructors: Dan Leighton with Walt Smith, Josh Lowe, Rick Johnston
Class Description: A growing number of utilities are adapting Autodesk Utility Design (AUD) as their primary design tool for electrical utilities. You will learn the basics of the AUD design process by completing a design workflow covering underground residential and commercial design. The focus will be on using AUD to quickly design distribution facilities, and then to calculate voltage drop and flicker, design sweeps, analyze pulling tensions, and estimate material requirements and costs. The session will also include a brief look “under the hood” to illustrate what needs to be configured prior to deploying AUD. This class will benefit utility design professionals considering AUD by providing an understanding of the potential advantages, what users will need to know to effectively use the technology, and some of the practical deployment considerations.
