Review & Prepare Civil 3D File for Export
Exercise Purpose:The preparation within Civil 3D is extremely important. It can save a lot of time for yourself, or those doing the
analysis, during export and while working within Storm and Sanitary Analysis. Our goal here is to understand what
we have and what we will need to do a successful analysis in SSA.
1. Open Civil 3D and open the File Called CI5050_SSA FOR HIGHWAY DESIGN.
2. Review the DATA we currently have. We should have an EG Surface, a Corridor FG Surface, a retentionpond design surface and an overall Composite surface.
3. Review the pipe properties and structure properties within the Storm Sewer Network. Notice that there
are no Hydraulic Properties to any of the network items.
We will now begin to prepare our Civil 3D Base for export. A few of the things we need to do are:
Create Catchments from Surface
Create Catchments from Objects
Ensure that our Catchment Areas are referencing their correct Catch Basin.
Run a Stage Storage Analysis and Export out the Table for further analysis in SSA

Civil 3D Catchment Objects
Exercise Purpose:The 2012 release of Civil 3D includes a new Catchment Object that allows you to create objects out of catchmen
areas derived from polylines or directly from the surface. There is additional functionality for determining time
of concentration using flow paths and adding custom properties to each catchment object. Here we will use both
options to get what we need.
Create Catchment from Surface
1. Continue working in the CI5050_SSA FOR HIGHWAY DESIGN file.
2. Ensure that the Composite surface is displayed using 1' and 5' contours. This surface contains the
finished ground contours that we'll use to create the catchment objects.
a. From the analyze tab, on the Ground Data panel, expand Catchments.b. From the drop-down, select Create Catchment Group, name the Group Drainage Basins and
click OK to complete the command.
c. From the same drop down, select the Create Catchment from Surface Command.
3. Zoom into CB #5, select a location that is approx. the center of the Catch Basin. The Create Catchmentfrom Surface dialog box should appear. Here are a few things to look for:
a. Ensure that the Composite surface is selected on the Catchment TAB
b. Ensure that you reference the correct pipe structure on the Catchment TAB
c. Ensure you have your preferred styles and Runoff
Coefficient selected on the Catchment TAB
d. Select the Flow Path TAB
e. Here you have two options for Time of Concentration
Method:
i. SCS TR-55
ii. User-Definedf. Select the method of choice
4. Click OK
5. You should notice a catchment object was created in the
drawing and also shown in Prospector.
6. Repeat the same steps for CB #6.

Create Catchment from Object
Previously we have created catchment objects from surface. Sometimes this may not be exactly what we need.In this case, we need multiple catchment areas for the catch basins that storm runoff will bypass. The best way toachieve this is to create our catchment areas and flow path from polylines and/or 3D polylines.
Exercise:
1. Continue working in the CI5050_SSA FOR HIGHWAY DESIGN file.
2. Ensure that the Composite surface is displayed using 1' and 5' contours. This surface contains the
finished ground contours that we'll use to create the catchment objects.
3. Thaw the layer Catchment Areas_Polylines. These were created either by drawing a polyline that
represents the catchment area and/or creating our overall catchment area and modifying it until we
achieve our needed results.
4. From the analyze tab, on the Ground Data panel, expand Catchments.a. From the drop-down, select Create Catchment Group, name the Group Drainage Basins andclick OK to complete the command.
b. From the same drop down, select the Create Catchment from Object Command.
5. Select one of the polyline catchment areas (Green PLINE)
6. Select the uphill end of the flow path (CYAN) that was created. You can create these flow paths by
either a Polyline, 3DPOLY and/or using the Water Drop command. I find that using the water drop will
give you a much more accurate flow path.
7. The Create Catchment from Object Dialog Box should appear. Ensure the following on the Catchment
TAB:
a. Reference the correct pipe network structure (Catch Basin)
8. Select your preferred styles and C-Value
9. Click the Flow Path Tab.10.From this TAB select your Time of Concentration Method
11. In the Flow Path Slopes area select From Surface and ensure that you have the Composite surface
selected from the drop down.
12.Select OK
13.Repeat these steps for any other catchment areas needed.
14.You should now see the catchments created, the flow paths created and both objects labeled with the
data within you label styles.
15.See Images on the following sheet for reference.
A bit extra:
You can change properties of your individual catchments and their flow paths. You may want to add vertices,add and/or delete flow paths and even change whether your flow path is paved or unpaved (along with others).
1. Go to the Prospector and notice that the catchment areas you created are listed here.2. Expand the catchment you created, select Flow Path, Right click and select Edit Flow Segments
3. The Panorama should appear with the Flow Segments tab enabled. You can make any changes here.

Create Stage Storage Analysis for Later Use in SSA
Using the Stage Storage command, you can calculate incremental and cumulative volumes of a basin.The storage volume at each depth (stage) is calculated from the input and the cumulative volume is totaled.
To define the basin, you can use one of the following:
An existing surface.
Selected contours within an existing surface.
Existing polylines in the drawing. These must be lwpolylines, such as created with the PLINE command.
Contour elevation and area data that you enter into a dialog box.
For this exercise we will use the previously created pond.
Exercise:
1. Continue working in the CI5050_SSA FOR HIGHWAY DESIGN file.2. Zoom to the pond
3. Click on the pond surface and choose the pulldown at the analyze panel of the surface editing ribbon.
Choose "Stage Storage".
4. Choose "Define Basin" from the stage storage dialog.
5. In the define basin from entities dialog, make sure "Define Basin from Polylines" is toggled and then click
"Extract Objects from Surface".
6. Click on the pond surface and the polylines will be extracted from the surface. Next, click "Define" and
pick all of the contours in the interior of the basin up to the berm.
7. Then hit enter. The stage storage table should appear in the dialog:
8. Click Save Table and save the data table as Pond 1.

Final Preparation - Settings and Edit in SSA
Before exporting pipe networks or catchment objects to SSA, we need to ensure that the correct part matchingsettings have been selected for our project.
Exercise:
1. Continue working in the CI5050_SSA FOR HIGHWAY DESIGN file.
2. Go to the Settings tab of Toolspace and right-click on Pipe Network. Select Edit Feature Settings.
3. In the Edit Feature Settings - Pipe Network dialog box, expand the category called Storm Sewers Migration
Defaults.
4. Next to "Use Imported Part ID for Part Family", change the selection to Yes. Also confirm that the option
"Allow Part Family Swapping" is also set to Yes.
When both options are set to Yes, the
part's Part Family will be changed to the
Part Family indicated in the Part ID of the
STM file rather than being pulled from the
parts list used for migration. This also
allows us the ability to use an XML file for
improved part matching (including custom-
created parts).
Ready for Export
Confirm that all catchment objects that willbe part of the analysis model are
associated with a pipe network structure.
1. From the drawing, select a pipenetwork and review the contextual
ribbon tab that appears.
2. On the ribbon tab, select thecommand Edit in Storm and
Sanitary Analysis.
3. When prompted, confirm that theStorm Sewer pipe network is
selected for export to SSA. Click Ok. This will automatically launch Autodesk Storm and Sanitary
Analysis.
We are now ready to review the imported data and begin our analysis!!

Setting up IDF Curves
When using the Rational, Modified Rational, and DeKalb Rational Methods, rainfall data is specified as anintensity (inches/hour or cm/hour) for a particular storm frequency (return period) and storm duration,rather than with a design storm (as is provided with the Rainfall Designer). IDF (Intensity Duration
Frequency) curves provide a method for defining the rainfall intensity for a given storm frequency andstorm duration. These rainfall intensities are generally specified by local governing agencies, having been
previously computed from prior analysis of historical rainfall data.
Exercise:
1. Double Click the IDF Curves icon in your Project Data tree, under the Hydrology Folder (If using theSCS Method, you will assign a Rain Gage). The IDF Curves Dialog should appear.
2. Here you can input your intensity data and/or load a previously completed IDF table by selecting load.
3. For this we will use the default values.4. Click Close

Setting up Rain Gages
When using the other hydrology methods such as the SCS TR-20 or SCS TR-55 you would have to set upRain Gages. Rain gages supply rainfall data for one or more subbasins in the study area. The rainfall datacan either be a user-defined time series or described in an external file. Several different popular rainfall
file formats are supported, as well as user-defined formats.
The principal input data of a rain gage include:
Rainfall data type (e.g., intensity, volume, or cumulative volume)
Recording time interval (e.g., hourly, 15-minute, etc.)
Source of rainfall data (input time series or external file)
Name of rainfall data source
Exercise:
1. Double Click the Rain Gages icon in your Project Data tree, under the Hydrology Folder (If using theRational Method, you will set up an IDF Curve). The Rain Gages Dialog should appear.
2. In the Right hand Corner, Select ADD. The dialog box should now appear full of information.3. Change the Rain Data Format Type to Intensity4. Specify the time interval between gage readings in hours:minutes format.
a. Note that the rain gage increment interval has to match the time step of the defined rainfalltime series. When you assign the rainfall time series, the software automatically checks to see
what corresponding time step of the time series is and sets the rain gage increment interval tothis value.
5. Select the ellipses button next to the Time Series Pulldown, the Time Series Dialog Box Should appear.6. In the upper Right hand corner, select ADD.
7. Here you can use a user-defined Data type or a Standard Rainfall from the Rainfall Designer, Select thebutton Rainfall Designer
8. The Rainfall Designer Dialog Box should appear. Here you can select your location, return period andrainfall depth. (I have found this to be fairly close to the NOAA Rainfall Data)
9. Select OK and then close the Time SeriesDialog Box
10.On the Rain Gages dialog box, select Assign.It will then ask you if you want to assign
rain gages to all subbasins. Select YES. This
will save you a lot of time!!
11.Close out the Rain Gages dialog box.12.See the following images for reference.

The Analysis Options define the computational analysis options to use when performing a stormwater orwastewater simulation. The Analysis Options dialog box contains a tabbed interface, allowing you to specifyvarious computational parameters within the same dialog box.
Exercise:
1. Select the Analysis pulldown and choose Analysis Options (or double click Analysis Options from theProject Data tree). The Analysis options Dialog box should appear.
2. There are two tabs on this dialog box. General Tab - The General tabbed pane of the Analysis Options dialog box is used to define the
simulation time steps, simulation dates, hydrodynamic routing parameters, and any external
interface files to be used. Storm Selection -The Storm Selection tabbed pane of the Analysis Options dialog box is used to
define the storm or multiple storms to be analyzed. Note that if the Hydrology Runoff
computational option in the General tabbed pane is unchecked, then the Storm Selection
tabbed pane will be unavailable.3. On the General Tab, change the End Analysis to be 24 hours after the default Start Analysis. Keep everything
else as default.
4. Select the Storm Selection Tab.
5. Here you can define a Single Storm
or run multiple storms. Leave everything as
default.

Setting up Bypass Links for Carryover Flow
Storm drain inlets may not intercept all runoff due to the velocity of flow passing over the inlet and thespread of flow across the roadway and gutter at the inlet location. This leads to bypass (or carryover) flow.As this bypass flow progresses further downstream, it may accumulate resulting in a greater demand for
interception. Therefore, it is important that additional emphasis be placed on inlet design to assure that theinlet type, location, and interception capacity are determined to achieve the desired drainage requirements
Exercise:We will need to create a conveyance link for each catch basin.
1. Select the Add Conveyance Link (Pipe) icon from the toolbar.2. Connect CB #1 to CB #3 (I usually create a couple vertex in this line to differentiate from pipes.)3. Connect CB #2 to CB #44. Connect CB #3 to CB #6
5. Connect CB #4 to CB #56. Once all conveyance links are connected, double click each one and do the following:
a. Double click the conveyance link going from CB #1 to CB #3, the dialog box should appear.b. Name your Link ID, CB #1 CB #3 (for quick referencing later)c. In the Shape area of the dialog box, select Direct. This will place all bypass flow from the upstream
Catch Basin to the Downstream Catch Basin.
d. Select CLOSE and repeat for each link you createdOnce we have all the conveyance links created we will need to make sure that all the catch basins have a
Roadway/gutter bypass link specified.
1. Double Click CB #1, the dialog box should appear.2. Under the Roadway/gutter bypass link, pulldown the menu and select your Bypass CB 1 CB 3 (Makes
sense huh!!)
3. Select CLOSE and repeat for each Catch Basin.4. See following images for reference.

Creating Profile Plots & Output Reports
Profile plots display the computed water depth along a specified path of the sewer network. Profile plotsare sometimes referred to as long sections or longitudinal sections. Once the profile plot has been created, itwill automatically update when a new time step is selected in the Output Animations dialog box.
Output AnimationThe Output Animation dialog box allows you to select the date and time (i.e., time step) for which the
simulation results will be displayed for both the Plan View and Profile Plot, as well as animate the results.
Excel Table ReportsThe software can display its simulation results directly within Microsoft Excel. This allows you maximum
flexibility in customizing the output reports.
Custom ReportsThe software allows you to create a custom formatted report containing both model input data as well as
analysis output results. This custom report can then be exported as either a PDF file or Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet.
Exercise on Profile Plotting:We now want to view certain pipes in profile view.
1. Select the Profile Plot tab on the left side of your screen.2. Select in the Starting node box and then select the SDMH #1 junction.3. Select in the Ending node box and then select the Storage Node we created in the pond. You will see a
thicker line that represents
what we are about to view in
the profile.4. Select Show Plot, reviewother options as well.
5. The profile and all its data willnow appear.
6. Select the Output pulldownand select output animation.
