Civil 3D
Autodesk® Civil 3D® is civil infrastructure design and documentation software that helps civil engineers design, analyze, and document transportation, land development, and water infrastructure projects in a 3D model-based environment. Civil 3D provides integrated tools for working with the data and design elements used throughout civil engineering projects. Engineers and designers can create and manage surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading, pipe networks, and other infrastructure design elements while maintaining relationships between objects as designs change.

HydroCAD
HydroCAD combines the best of TR-20, TR-55, and SBUH, plus built-in hydraulics, graphics, automatic database, and on-screen routing diagram in a single program. (see comparison table) The result is the fastest, easiest, and most capable stormwater modeling system available. We call it HydroCAD because it brings the benefits of Computer Aided Design to hydrology, while not requiring any other CAD software. However, HydroCAD-10 now offers direct extraction of subarea data directly from AutoCAD®, without any other software.
