Water and sewer modeling software is used by engineers to build models of pipe networks. Water modeling software, like the capabilities in OpenFlows Water, simulates pressurized drinking water systems to help design pipes, ensure adequate pressure, and analyze water quality. Sewer modeling software, like the capabilities in OpenFlows Sewer, simulates wastewater and stormwater collection systems to design pipes, prevent overflows, and ensure environmental compliance. 

Hydraulic modeling software is used by engineers to simulate the flow and pressure of water in a pipe network and perform a wide range of critical tasks, including: Planning and designing new infrastructure. Analyzing the capacity of existing systems to identify bottlenecks. Simulating "what-if" scenarios like pipe breaks or major storms. Optimizing system operations to reduce energy costs. Ensuring public safety and regulatory compliance by analyzing fire flow and sewer overflow risk. 

OpenFlows WorkSuite is a software bundle that combines OpenFlows Water and OpenFlows Sewer. It provides a complete solution for modeling, analyzing, designing, and operating water, sanitary, and combined sewer systems. 

The WorkSuite bundles our two most advanced solutions, OpenFlows Water and OpenFlows Sewer, providing capabilities for both water and wastewater projects in a single offering. This allows for convenient workflows and is offered in tiered packages based on network size.

The WorkSuite is designed for utilities and engineering consultants who work on a variety of water and wastewater projects and need to plan, design, and analyze both water distribution and sewer collection systems.

Through the capabilities of OpenFlows Water and OpenFlows Sewer, you can perform a wide range of analyses, including hydraulic simulations, water quality analysis, transient/water hammer analysis, fire flow assessment, sewer overflow and capacity analysis, and 1D/2D surface flooding simulation.

Yes. OpenFlows WorkSuite offers powerful integration. You can run the software as a standalone application or, for a more streamlined workflow, run it directly within the following platforms: Bentley MicroStation, Bentley Civil design applications (OpenRoads, OpenSite, OpenRail Designer), Esri ArcGIS Pro, and AutoCAD. This allows you to leverage your existing data and tools without the need for cumbersome data import/export processes, saving you time and reducing error.
