LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, Sep 28, 2015 – As an industry leading developer of civil engineering and AEC software, a Bricsys partner, and longtime member of the Autodesk Developer’s Network, CGS plus introduced Aquaflood 2016 to its line-up of innovative software solutions.

Aquaflood 2016 enables multiple data exchange possibilities between CAD and MIKE FLOOD, or CAD and DHI/HEC-RAS platforms. It also supports various Autodesk and BricsCAD platforms, so users can experience many benefits thanks to the wide range of capabilities it offers. For example, Aquaflood 2016 users can export river channel geometry information from CAD environments to MIKE FLOOD and/or HEC-RAS modelling tools and then import flood calculations back into the CAD environment. From there, water levels can be displayed in Aquaflood 2016 cross-section views for further analysis and/or river channel editing purposes.

“For projects where the success of flood-related calculations, mitigation, and planning relies on accurate designs and high quality analysis, Aquaflood 2016 is an easy-to-use and cost-effective software tool every professional designer should want in their toolbox,” says Matjaž Šajn, CGS plus managing director.

The tools and capabilities of Aquaflood 2016 includes the following:

• Digital terrain modelling – Enables users to create 3D terrain surfaces from various sources, or directly from CAD drawing entities. It also supports any XYZ survey data file format, as well as terrain model creation from CAD points, lines, polylines, blocks, and more.

• Creation of river alignments – Create very accurate river channel cross-section views with sample lines, which can then be exported to MIKE and/or HEC-RAS for further analysis.

• MIKE FLOOD and HEC-RAS data export/import interface – Allows for the sharing of data between platforms, thus adding to the speed, accuracy, and quality of any analysis performed.

• 1D analysis – Use MIKE FLOOD and/or HEC-RAS modelling tools to calculate water flow rates after geometry data is exported from Aquaflood 2016. Computed water flow data can then be imported back into Aquaflood 2016 to display actual water levels in detailed cross-section views.

• 2D analysis – Create detailed reports on a river channel and surrounding floodplains using a 2D bathymetry mesh tool. Data can be exported to MIKE FLOOD, computations made, and then imported back into Aquaflood 2016 to create 2D displays of actual flooding results.
