Module 6: Subsurface Utilities

DescriptionIn this module, you will analyze a storm drainage system to see how well it copes with a storm event, view one of the networks in profile, and review the 3D model.

Objective Inspect the Subsurface Utilities workflow

Run a hydraulic analysis

Create and view a profile

Review the 3D model


Review the Interface

1. Open the file Storm Drainage.dgn from the Module 6(Subsurface Utilities) folder.

2. If prompted to compact the database, select Yes.

NOTE: The prompt may appear behind the File Open Progress dialog. If it does, move the Subsurface Utilities Engineering dialog until it is visible.


3. Review the Subsurface Utilities Interface

a. Select the Subsurface Utilities workflow from the pick list in the upper left corner.

The ribbon menu changes to Subsurface Utilities tools. Some of the ribbon tabs are shared with the OpenRoads Designer workflow, where the functionality is common to both workflows. Others are specific to Subsurface Utilities.

Layout - Tools for creating and importing utilities

Analysis - Tools to calculate the hydrology and hydraulics of hydraulic elements (i.e. storm and sanitary networks)

Components - Libraries of commonly used components. The content of this tab changes when a different license is activated.

Utilities View - Tools to inspect utilities

Tools - Various tools including ModelBuilder and Clash Detection

Report - Hydraulic reports

View - Commonly used view control tools.


Review Data Imported using ModelBuilder

This storm network model has already been imported into this file using the ModelBuilder tool.

The road corridor is also visible in this file but has been set to be mostly transparent so that the storm network model is easily visible.

Note that the catchment areas are drawn in two colors - red and green. Feature definitions were applied to them when they were imported, and a WHERE clause was used to apply either a pavement or a grass feature definition, depending on the runoff coefficient of each catchment. The same technique was used to apply different feature definitions to the catch basins, depending on whether a note in the Excel data stated that a small or a large chamber was required.

1. Zoom to the area highlighted below at the outfall on the north side of the road.


Hydraulic Analysis - Running the Analysis Scenario

Now that the storm drainage data has been imported, hydraulic analysis can be run. When the utility model was created, settings were copied into the active design file from a DGN Library, including an analysis scenario and a rainfall event. You will now see how the system copes with this rainfall event.

1. Select Analysis > Calculation > Scenarios > Scenario Manager.

Subsurface utilities can analyze drainage networks with know pipe sizes or can design and size the pipes as needed. Multiple scenarios can be setup for both analysis and design to evaluate different storm event models.

In this course you will analyze an already designed pipe network using a 10 year storm event. This file has a single scenario that defines the calculation settings and alternative data for the system - the storm event, pipe sizes, etc.

2. Select Compute Scenario.

After a few moments, the GVF-Rational Calculation Summary dialog is displayed. This tells you the name of the Scenario that you computed, and the rainfall event that it uses. It also tells you that there are three networks in the data, and that convergence was achieved for all of them. It is worth noting that a Gradually Varied Flow calculation has been done, as opposed to a simple Peak Flow calculation. The calculations for normal and critical depth are iterative, so it is important that convergence has been achieved.


3. Click the Details button.

4. Select the Link Summary tab on the Calculation Detailed Summary dialog.

This tab shows columns for Depth (In) and Depth (Out), confirming that a Gradually Varied Flow analysis has been done.

5. Click the Close button on the Calculated Detailed Summary dialog.

6. Click the Close button on the GVF-Rational Calculation Summary dialog.

7. Close the Scenarios dialog.

9. Click OK.

NOTE: It will take a few seconds for the profile to be generated.

10. Expand Subsurface Utilities Model > Storm Drainage.dgn > Profile Runs.

The DI- to HW-2 profile run should appear in the list. If it does not, close and re-open the Explorer dialog. Restarting the Explorer is required for the Explorer to refresh properly.

11. Right click on DI- to HW-2, and select Open Analysis Profile.

The Analysis Profile dialog shows the pipes in the Profile Run, the Hydraulic Grade Line, and the Energy Grade Line.

12. Close the Profile dialog.


Review the 3D Model

You have looked at the subsurface utilities model in 2D, and in profile. Now you will review the 3D model.

1. Open View 2.

This view is setup to show the 3D drainage network in the Default-3D model. In addition, the road corridor is shown with transparency so the interaction between the design terrain and the drainage network can be reviewed.

TIP: Press F9 key to invoke a macro delivered with the Bentley workspaces that opens a second view and displays the 3D model in that view.

2. Turn off display of the corridor model so that they drainage model is easier to view.

f. Change the following parameters from their defaults.

Interval = 100

Bottom Clearance = 2.0 (The extra bottom clearance is to allow the drainage pipes to appear on the cross sections)

Keep the default values set by the Drawing Seed for the other parameters.

g. Disable the Include Control Points option.

When enabled, cross sections are added at horizontal control points such as PC and PT.

h. Enable the Create Drawing option.

When enabled, the process to create the cross section sheets is automatically started after the named boundaries are created. When disabled, the named boundaries are created but the sheets are not created.


i. Enable the Show Dialog option.

When enabled, a dialog with additional parameters set by the Drawing Seed is shown.

j. Define the start and stop locations.

Start Location = Click to lock to the beginning of the alignment

Stop Location = 21+500

k. Data point in the 2d view to accept the starting station of the named boundaries.

NOTE: If the Start Location was not defined and locked in the dialog it is selected graphically at this step.

l. Data point a second time in the 2d view to accept and create the named boundaries.

NOTE: If the Stop Location was not defined and locked in the dialog it is selected graphically at this step.

Creating the named boundaries will take a short time. Once complete the Create Drawing dialog appears and the named boundaries are visible in the 3D view.

4. Click OK on the Create Drawing dialog to create the cross section sheets.

The Create Drawing dialog provides an opportunity to adjustments the parameters being used. However, in a typical workflow these parameters do not need to be changed because the default values are all set by the Drawing Seed selected when creating the named boundaries in the previous steps


Creating the cross sections sheets will take a minute or so for this 9.8 kilometer or 6.1 mile long stretch of roadway. A progress bar is provided at the bottom of the screen. Once complete, a cross section sheet appears.


Each cross section is a live reference to a drawing model which in turn is a live reference to the 3D design model. The drawing model is where annotations are added to the cross sections. All graphics that appear in the 3D model are automatically shown on the cross section. In addition, since these are live references, any changes to the 3D model are automatically updated on the cross sections.


5. Review Cross Section sheets.

a. Select Home > Primary > Models.

= Drawing Model

= Sheet Model

b. Double click on one of the sheet models.

TIP - Since the cross section sheets were added to the sheet index when they were created, the sheets can also be navigated using the Sheet Index tab in the Explorer.

6. Set the 17+400.000 [Sheet] view active and observe the drainage network pipes are included on the cross sections.

7. Return to design model.
