Which TBC Edition/Module Do I Need To Model a Penstock?

    I have to model a 3.1m diameter Penstock that is basically encased in a concrete structure with an additional 2 conduits running beside it that are also encased in the same concrete structure. The Penstock has several bends along with the 4% grade.

    Would the Infrastructure Module do the trick?

    I have attached a cross section that better explains.

     

    Thanks,

    Marshall

    Utility Module would model this using the custom shape function if the geometry is constant. This has a pre-requisite of the Site Modeling Edition to facilitate the use / licensing of the Utility Module.

     

    In the Utility Module you can define a Utility Site Improvement using a Custom Shape that you draw in Plan View - That Shape can include multiple areas each with different materials and it can also include "Holes" ie the Pipes where there is no material defined. You can push the shape along a 3D line to create the volumes of material etc. and visualize the results..
