CivilStorm accurately models every aspect of your stormwater system including rainfall, runoff, inlet capture and bypass, gravity and pressure piping, detention ponds, outlet structures, open channels, culverts, and more.
Engineers can analyze pressure and free-surface flow conditions for networks of channels and closed conduits; model complex pond outlets for a variety of tailwater conditions; and use weirs, orifices, culverts, risers, and inlet boxes in their design, all within a single product.
CivilStorm performs a full range of analysis necessary for verification of hydraulic capacity and demonstrating stormwater compliance in complex storm water handling systems. Its dynamic calculation engine handles capacity analysis, detention, looped systems and diversions.
Key new features in CivilStorm V8i (SELECTseries 3):
INTEROPERABILITY
- Common file format with other Bentley’s sewer and stormwater products With CivilStorm, StormCAD, SewerGEMS, and SewerCAD’s new unified file format, the .stws file replaces the .csd, .stc, .swg, and .swc files. This common file format makes modeling teams’ workflows more efficient, since a model created in any one of these products can now be seamlessly opened and edited in another. - Updated support for MicroStation You can run CivilStorm from within MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3). A MicroStation license is required – if you don’t have a MicroStation license, you can choose to run CivilStorm in its stand-alone mode. - Updated support for AutoCAD You can run CivilStorm from within AutoCAD 2013 (32- and 64-bit). An AutoCAD license is required – if you don’t have an AutoCAD license, you can choose to run CivilStorm in its stand-alone mode. - i-models publishing CivilStorm can now publish i-models (containers for the open exchange of infrastructure information) in 2D or 3D.
HYDRAULICS
- Multiple solvers The StormCAD solver (gradually varied flow rational) is now included in CivilStorm, making CivilStorm a superset of StormCAD. - Automated design CivilStorm now offers automated constraint-based design capabilities for storm sewers. - LID elements Low-impact development (LID) controls can now be analyzed in CivilStorm. - HEC-22 inlet calculations HEC-22 inlet capture efficiency calculations can be performed when using the SWMM solver in CivilStorm. - New gutter shapes Support for v-shaped and parabolic gutters is now available in CivilStorm. - Node headloss Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in CivilStorm.
DATA MANAGEMENT
- Automated field filters The input and results fields are automatically filtered according to the solver used. |
