Straightforward storm sewer design
In challenging times, budgets for infrastructure projects are tight. OpenFlows StormCAD helps you be as effective as possible on storm sewer development projects.
What is OpenFlows StormCAD?
OpenFlows StormCAD provides roadway and site designers, stormwater master planners, and land developers like you with advanced tools to effectively deliver high quality design with minimized capital investments. It offers a complete approach to storm sewer design and analysis, from rainfall to outlet.

High-Quality Storm Sewer System Designs
Streamline Model Building and Management
Use the rational method to calculate peak flows, or leverage gradually varied flow hydraulics.
Effortless Storm Sewer Design
Design gravity piping and structures to automatically determine cost-effective pipe sizes. Invert elevations while minimizing pipe cover to avoid unnecessary pipe trench excavation.
Design Stormwater Systems
Minimize capital investments by simply entering your design restrictions: velocities, slopes, cover depths, and pipe and inlet matching offsets. Find out the most cost-effective pipe sizes and invert elevations.
- Improve Design Productivity
-
Intuitive Storm Sewer Design and Analysis
Allocate and Estimate Stormwater Loads
Load models with wet weather runoff flows derived from Hydro-35 or intensity-duration-frequency rainfall events. Runoff flows are computed using the Rational Method.
Analyze Inlet Capacities
Calculate stormwater runoff that will enter an inlet or be carried downstream into gutter or pond.
Design and Analyze Culverts
Select from a library of standard culvert shapes, materials, and entrance conditions. Then compute culvert headwater and tailwater elevations using calculation methodologies outlined in hydraulic design series.

Choose What is Right for You
One-year license with training
Virtuoso Subscription – A popular choice for small and medium-sized businesses
Get access to software that comes with training – fast! Bentley’s eStore, Virtuosity, offers a convenient way to lease a 12-month license of Bentley software for a low, upfront cost. Every online purchase through Virtuosity comes as a Virtuoso Subscription that includes training and auto-renewals.
With no contract required, it’s easy to get started quickly.
One-time purchase with support
Perpetual License with SELECT
A perpetual license of Bentley software is a one-time purchase, with a yearly maintenance subscription, called SELECT. This includes 24/7/365 technical support, learning resources, and the ability to exchange licenses for other software once a year. With SELECT, you will benefit from:
- License pooling, so you can access your software from multiple computers.
- Access additional Bentley software with Term Licenses, which allow you to pay for what you use without the upfront cost of purchasing a perpetual license.
Annual renewal quotes are delivered directly to your inbox, and our experienced Renewal Representatives are available to answer your questions and guide you through any changes you’d like to make.
