Bentley Systems SELECTseries 4 SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, CivilStorm and StormCAD wastewater design systems

Bentley Systems has announced its SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, CivilStorm and StormCAD V8i (SELECTseries 4) products for the analysis and design of wastewater and stormwater systems. The releases provide hydraulic and operational capabilities for an increased depth of information modelling that empowers users to evaluate and compare a wider range of network considerations.

Users are able to evaluate every aspect of existing systems and compare possible new designs. Simulations can predict everything from flooding to hydrogen sulfide formation, and then assess the effect of alternative designs to alleviate problems. Users can benefit from the products’ support of AutoCAD 2015, giving them the ability to model from within the latest AutoCAD version.

SewerGEMS users can leverage SCADA systems and data loggers through SCADAConnect, supporting calibration and operational efforts; and model hydrogen sulfide formation to decrease the risk of pipe damage, prevent odour complaints and improve safety.

SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, CivilStorm and StormCAD users can trace and display the surface water flow direction across any terrain, ensuring proper location of inlets and other drainage infrastructure; import MX drainage files easily and efficiently; automatically assign elevation data to manhole elements for faster model building and updating; and explicitly model headwalls and endwalls for culverts more efficiently.

SewerGEMS and CivilStorm users can design stormwater ponds more quickly and easily using PondMaker. SewerGEMS, SewerCAD and CivilStorm users can utilise ILSAX hydrologic calculations.
