CIM—or Civil Information Modeling—software enables users in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry (AEC), along with other urban design professionals, to design building sites, civil sites, municipal projects and land development components in a streamlined design-to-construction workflow. Employing CIM can significantly improve your business’s ROI and productivity to get projects out the door and in the ground.
How Is CIM Used?
Expanding on the concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM), CIM allows for constructability review through 3D BIM models, creating hybrid 2D and 3D projects with elements of each. CIM enables AEC professionals to go beyond 3D BIM models, enhancing projects by generating and linking surfaces, as well as creating corridor models, pipe networks, automated labeling, grading and other elements.
CIM can present and simulate operations through 3D modeling, producing dynamic profiles, cross-sections, and earthwork quantities. On top of this, CIM also allows users to generate reports and cost estimates, truly streamlining project development.
At CTC Software, our CIM Project Suite is a leading software add-on for AutoCAD Civil 3D users, allowing them to incorporate intelligent and elegant features into their Civil 3D projects such as:
- Labeling
- Pipe networks
- Corridor splitting
- Corridor merging
- Dynamic site grading
- Corridor targeting automation
Our software is designed to streamline your AutoCAD Civil 3D project development further, automating and optimizing Civil 3D features to help your firm save time and money.
What Can Our CIM Project Suite Help With?
Ideally, you want your engineering processes to work together and not in isolation. When these processes are isolated, interactions between them can be challenging to coordinate, creating conflict. Engineering firms rely on software to speed up the design process, enabling simple and repetitive tasks to be automated digitally. Not only does this result in faster timelines, it also allows for more productive and optimized budgets.
CIM software can facilitate this, allowing your team to focus on making the best design decisions. The CTC CIM Project Suite can help you ramp up your project development and productivity with 17 different software tools. Each application is uniquely designed to provide elegant solutions for AutoCAD Civil 3D project development, including:
- Site grading
- Pipe networks
- Survey databases
- Sheet production
- Corridor management
The CTC CIM Project Suite can also help you save time by automating tedious and time-wasting processes, including:
- Labeling
- Converting point files
- Pipe network design
- Multiple part swapping
- Reports and quantities
- Sheet production
Additionally, our applications allow firms to operate remotely.
