: Modeling complex industrial platforms, basins, and landfills with automated slope projections. Road Design (COVADIS VRD)
to deliver a highly optimized 100% BIM software environment tailored for surveying, infrastructure engineering, and VRD (Voirie et Réseaux Divers) design . Built by Sogelink , COVADIS eliminates data translation errors by executing calculation routines natively within Autodesk's industry-standard DWG graphic engine. This comprehensive guide provides verified deployment workflows, system requirements, and core functional breakdowns for civil engineering teams transitioning to this integrated ecosystem. 🛠️ System Requirements & Infrastructure
To run Covadis 17 smoothly alongside AutoCAD 2020, your system should meet these recommended specifications:
. It is widely used for civil engineering projects, including road design, sanitation, and urban planning. Compatibility & Integration Verified Host: COVADIS v17 is specifically designed to run on the AutoCAD 2020 engine (including Civil 3D and Map 3D 2020 versions). Engine Requirements: It requires a covadis 17 autocad 2020 verified
: Importing data from total stations, performing topographic calculations, and generating point clouds.
| Covadis Version | Compatible AutoCAD Versions | Key AutoCAD Release(s) Covered | Source | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | AutoCAD 2013 to 2020 | AutoCAD 2019, AutoCAD 2020 | | | Covadis 17.1g | AutoCAD 2018 to 2022 | AutoCAD 2020, 2021, 2022 | |
Achieving a verified, error-free integration requires a precise installation sequence. Follow these steps to set up your environment correctly. 1. System Requirements Verification Compatibility & Integration Verified Host: COVADIS v17 is
Frequently use both native AutoCAD PURGE / AUDIT routines alongside Covadis cleanup utilities to eliminate cached geometric data and reduce overall file sizes.
: COVADIS 17 is primarily verified for compatibility with AutoCAD 2013 through 2019 .
Utilizing AutoCAD 2020’s optimized 3D graphics pipeline, COVADIS 17 calculates Delaunay triangulations at ultra-high speeds. Users can filter points, define breaklines (lignes de rupture), and generate interactive contour lines. The software also provides instant visual auditing tools to catch coding anomalies or height errors. Linear Projects (Road Design) users can make informed decisions
: Use the correct Product Key (001L1) for a standard installation to avoid licensing conflicts with Covadis.
: Automatic creation of full 3D road corridors, including layers for pavement, sub-base, and curbs. Hydrology and Utility Networks
By understanding these precise compatibility details, users can make informed decisions, ensuring their technical environment is not only verified but also optimized for productivity and stability.
