# SierraSoft Hydro

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/498867/SierraSoft-Hydro

> SierraSoft Hydro is a BIM software designed for hydraulic infrastructure projects. It supports the design of waterways, canals, ditches, pipes, pipe networks, and manholes. The software is intended for civil engineers, hydraulic designers, and infrastructure development professionals working on projects that use Building Information Modeling methodology. It enables the creation of detailed digital models with embedded project information.

The software includes parametric dynamic design features, allowing real-time modifications and automatic updates when parameters change. Its M3 Framework Database organizes project data to maintain consistency across designs, plans, profiles, and information models throughout the project lifecycle. Terrain modeling tools generate triangular slope models and contour lines from survey data. Hydrological analysis functions provide insights into water flow paths, slope vectors, valleys, ridges, and basin filling volumes.

SierraSoft Hydro supports collaboration using the BIM Collaboration Format standard and federated model management. It generates automatic cross-sections aligned with the information model, including quantity tables and annotations. The software offers non-linear 3D design capabilities for creating complex geometries and supports open formats such as IFC and LandXML for data exchange.
