HydroCAD and
Carlson Hydrology
Automatic extraction of watershed data is now possible with HydroCAD and Carlson Hydrology. By using the two programs together, you can map soil groups, ground covers, and subcatchment boundaries, and have all the sub-area information automatically supplied to your HydroCAD model! All data is extracted from a standard DWG file. And if you have a terrain model (TIN), the time-of-concentration values can be automatically calculated using the Curve Number method and seamlessly transmitted to your HydroCAD model.
And when your site plan changes, just click the update button and your HydroCAD model is automatically updated. The results are truly amazing, and will save countless hours on every project.
Carlson Hydrology can be used
on your existing AutoCAD® platform, including AutoCAD Map®
or Civil 3D®. Or you can use the self-contained IntelliCAD®
platform, which is included at no additional charge. Please click the links below for details:
