ALBERT for Civil 3D — in development
Plan shoreline protection, evaluate wave exposure, and develop native layouts and grading. ALBERT connects coastal analysis with your Civil 3D design workflow.
Civil 3D plugin in development. Free browser tool available now.
Planned Civil 3D workflow
Eight stages for coastal engineers. Each step identifies the analysis or drawing output. Animations are schematic placeholders for future app recordings.
Step 01 / 08
Planned in Civil 3D
Define the project shoreline and locate breakwater endpoints. Develop candidate stable embayment locations and geometry for review in the Civil 3D drawing.
Output: Editable shoreline and breakwater polylines
Test embayment geometry in the free tool →Step 02 / 08
Premium browser analysis; Civil 3D integration planned
Evaluate the open-water distance from the site to surrounding shorelines by direction. Identify the sectors that expose the project to wind-generated waves.
Output: Fetch distances by direction
Step 03 / 08
Premium browser analysis; Civil 3D integration planned
Combine directional fetch with wind conditions to estimate wind-generated waves. Review dominant approach directions, wave heights and periods for the shoreline layout.
Output: Wind-wave height, period and direction
Step 04 / 08
Premium browser analysis; Civil 3D integration planned
Evaluate vessel-wake exposure and preliminary structure sizing. Review water levels and sea-level-rise inputs alongside the selected wave conditions.
Output: Wake estimates and preliminary structure dimensions
Step 05 / 08
Planned in Civil 3D
Refine breakwater positions and embayment geometry using the analysis results. Review the editable polylines and accept the layout before developing grading.
Output: Accepted layout revision
Step 06 / 08
Planned in Civil 3D
Enter and confirm project elevations for the accepted layout. Derive native feature lines from the confirmed grading inputs.
Output: Confirmed elevations and native feature lines
Step 07 / 08
Planned in Civil 3D
Build a proposed triangulated irregular network (TIN) surface from confirmed grading. Inspect surface geometry and contours in the Civil 3D drawing.
Output: Proposed TIN surface and contours
Step 08 / 08
Premium browser reports available; native handoff planned
Document coastal inputs, calculations and method references. The planned Civil 3D handoff will connect the report with the accepted layout and grading.
Output: Analysis results, assumptions and references
Review methods & references →Available now / free browser tool
Place two headlands on the map and explore the embayment geometry. Use the free tool for a brief test of the planimetric shoreline methods behind ALBERT.
No Civil 3D installation required. Additional wave analyses and reports require premium browser access.
Product recording
The animations are placeholders for recordings of the completed app. Actual feature captures will be added as development is completed.
Recording placeholder · actual Civil 3D feature capture coming after development.
Define shoreline, breakwater and embayment locations; evaluate fetch and wave conditions; refine native polylines; accept the layout; confirm grading and inspect feature lines, proposed TIN and contours; then review quantities, report and save.
