What Is OpenFlows Water?
- Scenario Management
-
Scenario Management
Perform multiple hydraulic model scenarios using alternative data sets to simulate the system under a variety of what-if conditions. Analyze pipe and valve criticality to determine the weakest links in your water distribution system. - Transient Simulation
-
Transient Simulation and Analysis
Use water hammer and hydraulic analysis software to efficiently identify, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with transients. - Hydraulic Modeling
-
Hydraulic Modeling
Build your hydraulic model quickly, synchronizing network data from standard formats that include GIS and CAD files, databases, and spreadsheets. Be compatible with various data formats and sources.
- Model Calibration
-
Model Calibration
Apply AI-powered automated calibration using Darwin® Calibrator and ensure your model is calibrated and accurate in any condition—including peak days, component failures, fire flows, and future demands—by eliminating discrepancies between the model and field data.
- Design Optimization
-
Design Optimization
Use Darwin Designer to automatically determine maximum pressure benefits, minimum cost designs, and rehabilitation strategies based on available budget, construction cost, and pressure and velocity constraints.
