Ponds Creation Tools

Vantec Solutions

Automates the geometric design of stormwater ponds in Autodesk® Civil 3D®.

$100.00

PondsCreationTools allows the user to analyze different stormwater pond configurations and to find the optimal solution in less time. PondsCreationTools effortlessly generates the pond surface in Autodesk® Civil 3D® and calculates the maximum storage available based on the user input parameters. The program can be used to quickly perform the following tasks:

* Quick construction of a surface representing the stormwater pond given the pond depth, side slope and a polyline that represents the top of the pond (high water level). This surface can be built considering a slope change in the sides of the pond.

 *Automatically calculate the capacity of the constructed stormwater pond.

*Generate an elevation vs. storage and depth vs. storage tables for the stormwater pond. This can be used to obtain the accumulated storage capacity at different depths and calculate live storage above the permanent pool in wet ponds.

*Export the elevation vs. storage and depth vs. storage tables to a spreadsheet file. Create a plot chart of these tables and copy them to the clipboard.

*Create and export a depth-area curve to be used in drainage modeling software such as Autodesk® Storm and Sanitary Analysis, SWMM or PCSWMM.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The app may fail to create the pond surface due to the following reasons:

  • Geometric constraints: the specified pond depth may be too high or the side slope too small.
  • There are zero-length segments in the selected top-of-pond polyline.
  • Other reasons that prevent the selected polyline to be offset.

Use a different pond depth/side slope or fix the problems with the polyline, making sure that performing an offset is possible.
