AutoCAD Civil

Bradford Training Institute for Engineers (BTIE) offers a comprehensive AutoCAD Civil training course designed to equip mechanical engineers with the skills and knowledge necessary to utilize this versatile software effectively for civil engineering applications. The course covers a wide range of topics, including:

AutoCAD Civil Fundamentals: This module introduces the basic concepts of AutoCAD Civil, including its user interface, drawing tools, and annotation features. Students will gain an understanding of the software’s capabilities and how to navigate its environment.

Civil Engineering Project Setup: This module covers the principles of setting up civil engineering projects in AutoCAD Civil. Students will learn how to create project files, establish site coordinates, and manage drawing scales and units.

2D Civil Drafting: This module focuses on the creation of 2D civil drawings using AutoCAD Civil. Students will learn how to draw lines, circles, arcs, polylines, and other basic shapes, as well as how to apply various civil-specific drafting techniques.

Topography and Contours: This module explores the creation and manipulation of topography and contour maps using AutoCAD Civil. Students will learn how to import survey data, generate contour lines, and interpret terrain features.

Alignment and Grading Design: This module covers the design of alignments and grading for roads, railways, and other linear infrastructure projects. Students will learn how to create alignments, apply grading criteria, and generate profile and cross-section drawings.

Site Planning and Utilities Design: This module focuses on the design of site plans and utilities for civil engineering projects. Students will learn how to layout buildings, roads, and utilities, as well as how to design drainage and stormwater management systems.

AutoCAD Civil Advanced Features: This module explores the advanced features of AutoCAD Civil, such as surface modeling, network analysis, and quantity takeoff. Students will learn how to utilize these features to enhance their civil engineering design projects.

Hands-on AutoCAD Civil Projects: The course includes hands-on practical sessions where students gain experience in applying AutoCAD Civil to real-world civil engineering projects. They will work on individual and group projects to develop their skills and apply their theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.
