Catalog excerpts

SewerCAD is an easy-to-use sanitary sewer modeling and design software that thousands of municipalities and engineering firms around the world trust to design, analyze, and plan wastewater collection systems.Engineers can model both pressurized force mains and gravity hydraulics with ease, using steady-state analysis with various standard peaking factors, and extended-period simulations. > Out of the box, SewerCAD users can work within stand-alone, with available AutoCAD integration. Regardless of the platform used, SewerCAD maintains a single set of modeling files for true interoperability across platforms.The stand-alone interface offers unparalleled versatility with easy-to-use model layout tools, background support, conversion utilities from CAD, GIS, and databases, and unlimited undo and redo layout.AutoCAD users can also add AutoCAD integration features to build and lay out models with engineering precision within an environment they are already comfortable with. Users that purchase the AutoCAD version also receive the stand-alone interface. > SewerCADs stand-alone andAutoCAD platforms fortotal freedom and versatility. Sanitary load data management from SewerCADҒs totally customizable unit load libraries. SewerCADs constraint-based design to automatically determine diameters and invert elevations. Engineers can analyze pressure or free surface flow conditions using robust gradually varied, standard-step algorithm in SewerCAD for solving for subcritical, critical, supercritical conditions, and complex composite profiles. The steady-state simulation analyzes the system under extreme flow conditions. Automated design features are available with a steady-state analysis type to find cost-effective sewer designs. The Extended Period Simulations (EPS) allow modelers to visualize how the system behaves over time. Results can be animated through time to locate hydraulic jumps and surcharging sections. > SewerCAD provides flexible sanitary loading features to help users accurately estimate dry and wet weather contributions to the collection system.Modelers can use totally customizable unit load libraries to estimate sanitary flows based on contributing population, service area, total dry weather discharge, or your own customized loading types. SewerCAD also includes numerous pre-defined extreme flow factor formulas and tables, including Babbit, Harmon, Ten State, and FederovҒs or lets user enter their own formulas and tables. SewerCAD determines infiltration in gravity pipes, based on pipe length, diameter, surface area, length-diameter, or user-defined data. SewerCAD can also use multiple flow patterns or flow hydrographs for Extended Period Simulations. > The constraint-based design features in SewerCAD allow modelers to automatically design gravity piping and structures. The design is flexible enough to allow users to specify the elements to be designed, from a single pipe size to the entire system, or anything in between, by simply entering their design restrictions: minimum and maximum velocities, covers and slopes; pipe and manhole matching offsets; allow (or not) drop structures. SewerCAD will automatically determine cost-effective pipe sizes and invert elevations avoiding unnecessary pipe trench excavation.The Capital Cost Manager in SewerCAD allows users to calculate a planning level estimate of the capital costs associated with an entire system or any portion of a system. This makes it easy to compare the costs associated with various scenarios, thus helping to ensure that the most cost-effective design is chosen. > SewerCAD Scenario Management Center gives engineers full control to configure, run, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of what-if scenarios within a single file. Engineers can easily make decisions by comparing unlimited scenarios, analyzing rehabilitation alternatives for multiple planning horizons, evaluating pump operation strategies, or overflow scenarios with varying future wastewater flows. > For more information visit www.bentley.com/SewerCAD or call 1-800-BENTLEY size="-1">
