Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis – 16.

0 Hours (2 Days)

Course Description

Summary

Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis Extension (SSA) is an advanced, powerful, and comprehensive
modeling package for analyzing and designing urban drainage systems, stormwater sewers, and sanitary
sewers. This training course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of Autodesk SSA's
capabilities for engineers, designers, project managers, and municipal engineers of all experience levels,
who analyze, design, or review urban drainage stormwater and wastewater infrastructure.

This training course will explain how to use the Autodesk SSA software that comes with AutoCAD® Civil
3D® and AutoCAD® Map 3D, and will concentrate on demonstrating how to apply the software to
everyday stormwater and sanitary sewer projects. Tips and tricks on increasing overall proficiency and
productivity are provided throughout the training. Upon completion of this course, participants will
have a comprehensive knowledge of the Autodesk SSA software and will be able to create, maintain,
run, and analyze stormwater and wastewater models with complete confidence.

The primary focus of this training course is to provide "hands-on" experience. Participants will learn by
doing, while using the Autodesk SSA software “hands on.” The lectures and lab sessions will
concentrate on demonstrating how to use the software in "real world" engineering applications.
Participants will develop their own stormwater and wastewater infrastructure models and simulate
different stormwater and wastewater management alternatives.

As an advanced level course, the Storm and Sanitary Analysis course can be tailored to the individual
project requirements of the participants. The course is typically a two-day program based on the time
required to cover the core level of the program, but the length can be varied to suit individual client
requirements and desire to use real project data within the course.
