What Is OpenFlows Water?

  • Scenario Management
  • A laptop screen displaying GIS software with a detailed map and various analytical tools and data layers panel.

    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
  • Laptop displaying geographic information system software with various data visualizations, maps, and charts.

    Transient Simulation and Analysis

    Use water hammer and hydraulic analysis software to efficiently identify, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with transients.
  • Hydraulic Modeling
  • A laptop screen displaying complex software interface with maps, charts, and various data analysis tools. The background features a detailed map with colorful lines and nodes.

    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
  • Laptop screen displaying a scientific software interface with data tables, a line graph, and a map.

    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
  • A laptop screen displaying network analysis software with charts, graphs, and data tables.

    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.
