OpenFlows is a comprehensive suite of software solutions tailored to meet the critical business needs of water infrastructure engineering teams. From fire flow and water quality simulations to criticality and energy cost analysis, we have everything you need to streamline your modeling process so that you have more time for solving water, wastewater, and stormwater engineering problems.
Interoperability
OpenFlows supports standalone use or integration with industry-standard platforms, facilitating seamless data sharing across design engineering and operations teams as well as consultants. The result is a significant reduction in project time and costs, improved productivity, and minimized risk.
Scenario and Model Management
OpenFlows enables engineering teams to conduct multiple hydraulic model scenarios using alternative data sets, resulting in more robust system analyses, enhanced productivity, and proactive problem-solving.
Digital Twin Readiness
The OpenFlows Water and Sewer applications provide model information that can be directly accessed by Bentley’s digital twin platforms to create a digital twin, providing organizational visibility to critical system data including asset performance and risk information.
Comprehensive decision-support software for you to design, plan, and operate your water distribution systems.
Efficient sanitary sewer modeling and design software used to design, analyze, and plan wastewater collection systems.
Comprehensive stormwater modeling and analysis software to analyze, design, and operate your stormwater systems.
Flood modeling software for flood risk assessment and efficient design of flood risk mitigation measures.
Productive hydraulic toolbox to design and analyze a wide variety of hydraulic elements.
Digital twin solution unifying disparate data sources to provide you with a smarter, more resilient, and sustainable water system.
With the OpenFlows WorkSuite, small and large utilities, as well as consultants, can plan, design, and optimize water distribution, sanitary, and combined sewer systems.
