ORIS x Autodesk Civil 3D Plugin

A french expressway project, optimized by integrating ORIS into Autodesk's Civil 3D

 

Project Overview

In collaboration with Autodesk, ORIS was used by an engineering firm to optimize the pavement design for a 30-km standard expressway project in France.

By integrating ORIS directly into Autodesk’s Civil 3D software, the project team was able to:

 

  • Generate and compare multiple pavement structures
  • Evaluate costs and carbon footprint within minutes
  • Ensure compliance with French pavement standards

  • Support public decision-making with data-driven insights

Approach & key solutions

________________

 

  • Seamless Integration with Autodesk Civil 3D

    ORIS was embedded into Autodesk’s Civil 3D, allowing the team to rapidly generate and assess different pavement design options.

  • Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Design Selection


    Although all pavement options met the required mechanical performance and regulatory standards, ORIS enabled the identification of a solution with superior cost and environmental performance.

  • Robust Decision-Making for Public Clients

    Through ORIS’s combinatorial calculations, various viable design structures were analyzed, ensuring:

    - Cost efficiency & budget optimization
    - Lower carbon footprint & enhanced sustainability
    - Circular economy integration

    This data-driven approach allowed the engineering firm’s public client to make informed choices between cost, carbon impact, and material circularity.

Impact & key results
