I’m in Novi, Michigan this week working with the Vault team and learning more about Vault Collaboration AEC. I noticed Matt tweet about using the results of a Civil 3D Stage Storage analysis in Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis, so I asked him to write it up.
Here is Matt:
I despise the unnecessary duplication and manual process of transcribing data for analysis. The case in point that I want to discuss is the construction of Stage-Storage Curves. Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Sewer has the ability to load a text file to construct the stage storage curve. AutoCAD Civil 3D’s Stage Storage tool has the ability to export the analysis to a text file. Let us see how these two come together in 2012.
The Stage-Storage tool moved from the Toolbox into the Ribbon -> Analyze Tab, below the fold at the bottom of the tab.
In launching the Stage-Storage Tool, you can query or build your Stage-Storage table from the surface, or a family of polylines extracted from the surface. After defining the basin, the Stage-Storage Volume Table will contain the Elevation-Area and Volume information, or Stage-Storage tabular data. Below the Volume table is a Save Table button that will allow you to export the information to a text file with the Stage Storage File *.AeccSST file extension.
This file extension can be loaded into a Storage Node within Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis 2012 so that this pond,
is loaded into SSA as this Storage Curve,
Happy Modeling!
