OPENFLOWS WATERCAD SAVES WATER DURING DROUGHT

Focused on sanitation, environment, and urban infrastructure, the father/son
team at TSA – Tecnologia em Saneamento Ambiental used OpenFlows WaterCAD to find
leaks and optimize infrastructure saved precious water during a record-breaking
drought.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is WaterCAD?

WaterCAD is an easy-to-use hydraulic and water quality modeling application for
water distribution systems. WaterCAD is a reliable, resource-saving,
decision-support application for your water infrastructure. From fire flow and
water quality analysis, to energy cost management and pump modeling, WaterCAD
helps you analyze, design, and optimize water distribution systems.

How much does WaterCAD cost?

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

What is the difference between WaterCAD and WaterGEMS?

WaterGEMS is a superset of WaterCAD. WaterGEMS includes a standalone version
plus the integration with three platforms MicroStation, AutoCAD, and ArcGIS.
Additionally, WaterGEMS comes with six modules for optimal operation planning
and automatized model calibration that are not included in WaterCAD: 1) Pipe
Renewal Planner 2) Darwin Designer 3) Darwin Calibrator 4) Darwin Scheduler 5)
Skelebrator 6) SCADAConnect. Learn more about OpenFlows WaterGEMS.

Does WaterCAD integrate with AutoCAD?

Integration with AutoCAD is not included with a WaterCAD Virtuoso Subscription.
However, integration with AutoCAD is available with a WaterCAD for AutoCAD
perpetual license. For more information or to purchase a perpetual license,
please contact our sales team.

How do I perform fire flow analysis?

Using the Fire Flow Navigator, you can quickly and accurately establish the
ability of their network to provide protection against fires. WaterCAD
simultaneously models multiple fire flow events evaluating flows and pressures
across the entire system.

How do perform flushing simulations?

The Flushing Simulation tool helps you plan, analyze, and optimize flushing
programs to control and improve water quality in their water distribution
systems. You can perform both conventional and unidirectional flushing (UDF)
simulations, as well as multiple flushing runs across multiple areas.

What is the Criticality Analysis Center?

To perform criticality analysis and operations modeling, use the Criticality
Analysis Center. It is a comprehensive utility to identify critical assets in
water distribution infrastructure and evaluate the risk associated with their
failure. Also, by using rule-based operational controls, variable-speed pumping
(VSP), and pressure-dependent demands (PDD), you can find operational
bottlenecks, minimize energy consumption, and model real-time operations to
improve system performance.

How do I perform comprehensive scenario management?

Use the WaterCAD Scenario Management Center to get full control to configure,
run, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of what-if scenarios
within a single file. You can easily make decisions by comparing unlimited
scenarios, analyzing rehabilitation alternatives for multiple planning horizons,
evaluating pump operation strategies, or flushing alternatives for emergency
contamination events.

What are the LoadBuilder and TRex geospatial modules?

The LoadBuilder and TRex geospatial modules are included with WaterCAD at no
additional cost, and they help you allocate water demands and node elevations
based on geospatial data found in shapefiles, DEMs, and even CAD drawings,
avoiding potential manual-input mistakes and speeding up the model-building
process.

You can streamline model building when you use CAD drawings to directly create
hydraulically connected models; import topology and data from GIS; and create
persistent, bidirectional connections between shapefiles, databases,
spreadsheets, and the WaterCAD model.

What are the System Requirements?

Refer to the ‘Installation Requirements’ section of the WaterCAD ReadMe file.

Platform pre-requirements
WaterCAD runs without platform restrictions as a stand-alone application. It can
also run from within MicroStation. AutoCAD integration is not supported with a
Virtuoso Subscription of WaterCAD. The requirements are also available in
WaterCAD’s ReadMe file.
