UT234-2: Overhead Design and Engineering for Transmission and Distribution Using Autodesk® Utility Design
Session: UT234-2
Title: Overhead Design and Engineering for Transmission and Distribution Using Autodesk® Utility Design
Instructors: Bill Waddington with Harrie Thijssen
Course Description: One of the key objectives of Autodesk Utility Design (AUD) is to provide functionality that allows a planner/designer to quickly build a design and engineer according to standards, and produce a bill of materials for this design. The Design and Engineering processes are tightly coupled: a small change in Design can have a big impact on the Engineering results. For example, modifying the size of a wire may have impacts including changes to the attachment height of the crossarm on the pole and the type of crossarm used. At Southern California Edison, we have standardized on AUD software as our transmission and distribution graphical design tool to unify design, specification, and construction processes. In this class, we will demonstrate how we use overhead design and engineering functionality in AUD, and how this functionality has been evolved from 2D to 3D.
