Proven water distribution modeling
Design new water systems and manage existing water networks effectively to reduce disruption risks and energy use using reliable decision-support capabilities.
WHAT IS OPENFLOWS WATERCAD?
OpenFlows WaterCAD is an easy-to-use hydraulic and water quality modeling application for water distribution systems from fire flow and constituent concentration analyses, to energy cost management and pump modeling. You can design new water systems and manage existing water networks effectively to reduce disruption risks and energy use. Use OpenFlows WaterCAD from within MicroStation, AutoCAD, or you can choose to use OpenFlows WaterCAD as a stand-alone application, for additional flexibility.

User Quote
“WaterGEMS and WaterCAD helped us evaluate the improvement proposals for the Olinda supply system, which will benefit over 250,000 inhabitants, workers, and visitors in the region. This is just one example of how valuable this capability can be for basic sanitation companies, as it helps to improve human living conditions. Bentley is a key contributor to this process.”
