Bentley OpenFlows WaterCAD 2024

Utilities, municipalities,and engineering firms trust WaterCAD as a reliable, resource-saving, decision-support application for their water infrastructure.

From fire flow and constituent concentration analyses, to energy cost management and pump modeling, WaterCAD helps engineers and utilities analyze, design, and optimize water distribution systems.WaterCAD takes advantage of Bentley CONNECT services by associating a hydraulic model with a CONNECT project.

Utilities and engineering firms around the world trust WaterCAD as a reliable decision-support tool for their infrastructure. Design new water systems and manage existing water networks effectively to reduce disruption risks and energy use. WaterCAD’s ease-of-use helps you successfully plan, design, and operate water distribution systems.

​Use a water distribution hydraulic model to access and identify where fire protection is inadequate. Design improvements such as the sizing and location of pipes, pumps, and tanks in order to meet fire-flow and protection requirements.

Use hydraulic model results to help optimize the design of complex water distribution systems and utilize built-in scenario management features to keep track of design alternatives. Alternatively, WaterGEMS users can optimize the design for you using the built-in Darwin Designer network optimization tool.​
