EFFICIENTLY IDENTIFY, MANAGE, AND MITIGATE TRANSIENT RISKS

Every time a pump or valve is operated, potentially dangerous transients are
introduced in your water distribution or wastewater system. Unchecked,
transients can have catastrophic consequences on your pipes and equipment,
operators, and customers. Quickly identify critical points in the system that
need protection and facilitate sound system design.




WHAT IS OPENFLOWS HAMMER?

OpenFlows HAMMER helps you perform transient analysis and modeling in water or
sewer systems to locate trouble spots and determine appropriate serge control
strategies. OpenFlows HAMMER’s computationally rigorous engine and easy-to-use
interface to efficiently identify, manage, and mitigate the risks associated
with transients. 

Data Sheet
 * Protect Critical Points


 * ONE SOLUTION FOR ALL STORMWATER MODELING
   
   RIGOROUS ENGINE AND EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE
   
   Use the rigorous Method of Characteristics to solve complex transient
   analysis.
   
   QUICKLY PREDICT AND DIAGNOSE PROBLEMS
   
   Model the impact of pump, turbine, and valve operations to determine the most
   critical points in a system and simulate a wide range of surge protection
   devices.
   
   STREAMLINE MODEL BUILDING
   
   Jumpstart model building process by leveraging and importing many well-known
   external data formats.

 * Perform Transient Analysis and Modeling


 * QUICKLY LOCATE TROUBLE SPOTS
   
   PROVEN TRANSIENT ANALYSIS ALGORITHM
   
   MOC (Method of Characteristics), the benchmark standard for hydraulic
   transient flow analysis, computes results at intermediate points, accurately
   capturing critical outcomes.
   
   PRECISE SIMULATION OF THE IMPACT OF SURGE PROTECTION DEVICES
   
   Select from more than 20 devices and perform an unlimited number of operating
   scenarios to develop the most appropriate strategy for surge mitigation.
   
   FULL CONTROL OF WHAT-IF SCENARIOS
   
   Configure, run, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of
   scenarios within a single file.
   
   CAPTURE FAST-MOVING TRANSIENT PHENOMENA
   
   Determine their impact on the system and select the most appropriate surge
   protection equipment using analysis and data visualization features.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is HAMMER?

A transient analysis and water hammer software, HAMMER is the most
cost-effective way to control transients. Used successfully on high-profile
projects around the world, HAMMER can identify critical points in the system
that need protection and facilitate sound system design.

What is the price of OpenFlows HAMMER?

The price of OpenFlows HAMMER varies per region. While there are various types
of licensing available, a common choice is the 12-month practitioner license
offered through Bentley’s eStore. When you purchase through the eStore, you get
a Virtuoso Subscription. This means you get the software and “Keys” (tokens) to
redeem for customizable training, mentoring, and consulting services.

Does HAMMER require the use of OpenFlows WaterCAD or OpenFlows WaterGEMS?

No. You do not need other programs to use HAMMER. HAMMER can directly read
WaterCAD or WaterGEMS files, and you can import EPANET files.

What is the difference between HAMMER and WaterGEMS?

HAMMER is a transient solution. WaterGEMS is a steady state solution. Even when
running extended period simulation, WaterGEMS uses a series of steady state
calculations.

Can HAMMER work with gravity flow systems or fluids other than water?

Yes, HAMMER can work with gravity flow systems and fluids other than water.

What are the System Requirements?

Processor
As per minimum operating system requirements

Operating System
Windows 7, SP1(32 bit/64 bit), Windows 8, 8.1(32 bit/64 bit), Windows 10(32
bit/64 bit)

Memory
As per minimum operating system requirements

Display
As per minimum operating system requirements

Hard Disk
The software itself requires approximately 1.8 Gigabytes (GB) of disk space for
installation. Additional space is also required for user model and data files
