COVADIS TOPO: All Versions
Your technical projects require usable representations and models. With COVADIS, structure your design work to make decisions clearer. Strengthen your independence in preparing documents and communicating with project stakeholders.
- Duration
- 5 days 35 hours
- Code
- CAO02FR Code
Presentation
With this COVADIS course, Géomédia–Autodesk, participants will use the software's 2D, 3D (surveying: earthworks, volumes, etc.), infrastructure (roads and drainage) and mapping modules.
They will refine their skills and compare AUTOCAD and COVADIS commands, discovering the limits of general-purpose AUTOCAD and the extensive capabilities of specialist COVADIS software.
Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will have acquired all the basics of public works project design.
They will master road project calculations, stormwater/wastewater network sizing, and smoothing existing-ground and design profiles, saving valuable time in preparing technical studies and executing them.
