Bentley’s hydraulics and hydrology software provides users with a common software interface whether they are developing water, sewer, or stormwater networks. This means that once modelers learn one product, they can use any product from the hydraulic and hydrology portfolio, without the need for significant additional software training.
Water distribution systems
With WaterGEMS and WaterCAD, you will analyze and design water distribution systems using fire flow and water quality simulations, criticality and energy cost analyses, and flushing and water loss analyses. Modules included in WaterGEMS help you to optimize calibration (Darwin Calibrator) and help you to design new water systems and rehabilitate existing ones (Darwin Designer).
With HAMMER, you will determine appropriate surge control strategies and reduce transients.
Sanitary and combined sewers
From urban sewer planning, to overflow remediation analysis, SewerCAD and SewerGEMS are designed to give you more time for engineering.
With SewerCAD, you will analyze sanitary sewer networks under peak flow conditions with convex routing hydraulics. For design and rehabilitation work, you will use constraints-based automatic design and flexible profiling features for optimized sanitary sewer designs. SewerCAD can also help you optimize lift station and flow control operations by implementing real-time control strategies with variable-speed pumps, and rules-based controls.
SewerGEMS is a dynamic wave model for simulating wastewater collection systems. You will analyze sanitary or combined conveyance sewer systems using built-in hydraulic and hydrology tools and a variety of wet-weather calibration methods. SewerGEMS can also help you reduce overflow occurrences, locate storage opportunities within the conveyance system, and design detention structures.
Stormwater drainage
From site development to municipal studies, Bentley’s stormwater products offer solutions for every aspect of stormwater management, including rainfall runoff modeling of urban and rural watersheds, detention facility and appurtenance sizing. You will also be able to design controls to minimize flooding and overflows, and complete stormwater system master plans. The stormwater products include:
- CivilStorm : Comprehensive and fully-dynamic stormwater analysis - StormCAD : Stormwater system analysis and automated design - PondPack : Detention pond analysis and design - CulvertMaster : Culvert design and analysis - FlowMaster : Hydraulic calculator |
