OpenFlows WaterCAD 2024 (24.00.00.26)

OpenFlows WaterCAD is an easy-to-use, reliable, resource-saving, decision support software for your water infrastructure. You can quickly analyze, design, and optimize your water distribution system from water flow and water quality analysis to energy cost management and pump modeling. Built-in water quality features help you perform composition analysis, water age, tank mixing, and source tracing to develop a comprehensive chlorination schedule that simulates emergency contamination events, intuitively localize the zones of influence for different water sources and improve turbidity, taste and odor by identifying water mixing problems in your water distribution system.

With WaterCAD, users can create accurate models of water distribution systems, including pipes, pumps, valves, tanks, and other network components. The software provides tools to determine the system's hydraulic characteristics, such as pipe material, diameter, elevation, and demand pattern.

WaterCAD provides advanced hydraulic analysis capabilities to simulate and evaluate water network performance. It can calculate flow rate, pressure, velocity and other key hydraulic parameters, helping engineers evaluate system reliability, identify potential problems and optimize design. network design.

The software supports a variety of analysis methods, including steady-state analysis, time-expansion simulation, fire flow analysis, and water quality analysis. It also incorporates built-in optimization tools to assist with pipe sizing and pump optimization.

WaterCAD provides visualization and reporting features to effectively present analysis results. Users can create maps, charts, and reports to communicate system behavior, identify critical areas, and support decision-making.

Furthermore, WaterCAD integrates with other Bentley software products, facilitating data exchange and collaboration between different departments or stakeholders involved in water infrastructure projects .

In summary, OpenFlows WaterCAD is a powerful software tool for analyzing and designing water distribution systems. It helps engineers optimize network performance, maintain water quality, and ensure reliable water supply to communities.
