What is OpenFlows Storm?

  • Plan, Design, & Analyze
  • A laptop displaying a detailed software interface with charts, graphs, and various tools for data analysis and visualization.

    Plan, Design, and Analyze Stormwater Systems

    Analyze gravity flow, overflows, flow splits/diversions, pump stations, and force mains with various dry-weather and wet-weather calculation methods. Compare solutions with automated gravity system design and scenario management capabilities.

     
  • Scenario Management
  • A laptop screen displays a detailed software interface featuring geographical mapping and data analysis tools.

    Scenario Management

    Design and analyze stormwater systems by performing comprehensive analyses for inlet capture and bypass flows, gutters, detention facilities, open channels, and culverts.

     
  • Hydraulic Modeling
  • A laptop screen displays geographic mapping software with aerial imagery, various data layers, and a line graph in the lower panel.

    Interoperable Hydraulic Modeling

    Configure, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of scenarios within a single file. Evaluate strategies for design, operations, sanitary loading, and network topology to improve decision-making.

     
  • Calculation Options
  • A laptop screen displaying a software interface with calculation options for numerical solvers. The interface includes a selection list and various configuration settings.

    Multiple 1D Hydraulic Solver Options

    Model within several platforms while accessing a single, shared project data source so you can produce optimal urban sewer planning and overflow remediation analysis designs in an easy-to-use environment.

     
  • 1D/2D Hydraulic Analysis
  • A laptop screen displaying GIS software with a map, data tables, and various analytical tools visible.

    1D/2D Hydraulic Analysis

    Understand surface flooding depth and velocity, flood hazard, and inundation times with user- friendly tools that connect 1D network elements with 2D surface flows.
