What is OpenFlows Sewer?
- Design & Analyze
-
Design and Analyze Sanitary and Combined Sewer 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. OpenFlows Sewer also provides an easy-to-use environment for designing and analyzing stormwater systems, including inlet capture and bypass flows, gutters, detention facilities, open channels, and culverts.
- Scenario Management
-
Scenario Management
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.
- Hydraulic Modeling
-
Interoperable Hydraulic Modeling
Model within several platforms while accessing a single, shared project data source so you can optimize urban sewer planning and overflow remediation analysis designs in a user-friendly environment.
- 1D/2D Analysis
-
1D/2D Hydraulic Analysis
Understand surface flooding depth and velocity, flood hazard, and inundation times with user- friendly capabilities that connect 1D network elements with 2D surface flows.
- Calculation Options
-
Multiple 1D Hydraulic Solver Options
Perform dynamic 1D analysis using the Saint-Venant equations. Use the GVF-Convex solver to analyze peak flows, automatically design storm sewers, and perform extended-period simulations.
- Loading & Estimation
-
Loading Allocation and Estimation
Accurately model flow changes over the course of a day. Load models with wet-weather runoff flows from precipitation using built-in rainfall distributions or user-defined rainfall events
