Drainage and Utilities Best Practices

The following items are best practices when using Drainage and Utilities

  1. It is best to keep different hydraulic networks in different files in order to minimize data loss in the event of file corruption. This does not apply to very small networks
  2. Do not snap to anything when placing nodes. This often leads to additional crashes of the software
  3. Node elevations should refer a terrain model for their elevation.
    1. While it is possible to use a roadway mesh for the elevation, this is not the best practice as the roadway mesh cannot read terrain information beyond its own limits
  4. Use Civil AccuDraw to place nodes with precision at a particular station and offset. This creates element manipulators for dynamic editing when changes to the network occur
  5. Use scenarios to quickly analyze different design storms or inlet capture options in accordance with the MDOT drainage manual
