civilcad  

Developed in Australia, civilcad as a unique and powerful software application for surveying and Civil Engineering professionals. Since its inception in 1982, civilcad has been used extensively in Australia and internationally for topographic survey, road and drainage design, terrain modelling and volume calculations.

Civilcad is acknowledged as one of the leading PC packages of its type. In a move destined to expand its world markets, civilcad joined the Topcon Corporation in 1989 and is now owned and developed by Topcon Positioning Systems (Aust) Pty Ltd.

Used by private enterprises, surveying companies and government authorities, it allows quick and easy adaptation by the new user to the efficiency of Computer Aided Design. For many years civilcad software has continued to provide the nucleus for civil design within Australian and international Surveying and Civil Engineering companies. Users have been able to utilise the extensive range of options within civilcad, and provide themselves with a valuable competitive edge!

Civilcad provides the user with a powerful and easy to use tool for design in many surveying and civil areas. Civilcad has unlimited undo/redo and can display unlimited views simultaneously. This allows multiple jobs to be viewed. Civilcad can also export various CAD file formats like XML, DXF, DWG, DGN and GENIO.

Survey Module

The Survey module uses a unique Neutral Editor for viewing and processing surveyed data. It also has a comprehensive and easy to use Properties Bar. Extensive cogo functions are available for geometric computation and data creation. Included also are fast generation of digital terrain model with one-button breakline insertion and rigorous volume computations.

Roads Module

The Roads module utilizes a 3-panel view which displays plan, long section and cross section simultaneously. Powerful string and template design which can handle an unlimited number of strings. A curve length calculator is provided to simplify vertical curve design. Incorporates all facilities needed to design a simple road right thru to multilane divided highway.

Drainage Module

The drainage module is designed to compute overland flow and pipe sizing for networks with one outlet. Overland flows and hydrological data are computed using the Rational Method, with pipe sizes and inverts being calculated by the Hydraulic Grade Line Method. The user-defined library allows for local rainfall intensities, pipe types and sizes, kerb and channel profiles and other data to be used.
