Increase velocity in mains to flush out solids and stale water, with the primary indicator of the success of flushing being the maximum velocity achieved in any pipe during the flushing operation. Optimize flushing programs with multiple conventional and unidirectional flushing events in a single run. Alternatively, WaterGEMS users can optimize the design for you using the built-in Darwin Designer network optimization tool. Use hydraulic model results to help optimize the design of complex water distribution systems and utilize built-in scenario management features to keep track of design alternatives. Leverage and import virtually any external data format, which maximizes ROI on geospatial and engineering data, and automate terrain extraction and node allocation. Jumpstart the model-building process and manage your model effectively, so that you can focus on making the best engineering decisions. OpenFlows WaterCAD/WaterGEMS automatically generates network segments once the isolation valve data is supplied. Evaluate the ability to isolate portions of the system and serve customers using different valve locations. Design improvements such as the sizing and location of pipes, pumps, and tanks in order to meet fire-flow and protection requirements.įind the weak links in water distribution systems and assess the adequacy of isolation valves. Footprint, Energy Consumption, Air Acidification, and Water Eutrophication etc.
Use a water distribution hydraulic model to access and identify where fire protection is inadequate. 3.0 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) Modeling Software for Mechanical. Use OpenFlows WaterGEMS to also run your model from within ArcGIS and for optimization modules (calibration, design, pump scheduling, pipe assessment, SCADA integration, and network simplification). OpenFlows WaterCAD is a subset of OpenFlows WaterGEMS. You can also choose to use OpenFlows WaterCAD as a stand-alone application, for additional flexibility. CAD interoperability: Model in a familiar platform, leveraging CAD tools and shortcuts when using OpenFlows WaterCAD from within MicroStation or AutoCAD.Organized assessment of alternatives: Assess and compare an unlimited number of physical, design, water demand, network topology, and operational scenarios.Streamlined model building: Leverage and import virtually any external data format to jumpstart the model accurately, easily allocate water demands, and automate terrain extraction and node allocation.
WaterCAD helps you improve design productivity, with: Deliver high quality designs cost effectively.
