Bentley StormCAD

Product catalog summary

Overview: Bentley StormCAD is a comprehensive software for designing and analyzing storm sewer systems. It offers an intuitive interface for modeling from gutter to outlet, providing calculations for catchment runoff, inlet capacity, and pipe network flow.

Platform Integration: StormCAD can be used as a stand-alone application or integrated with MicroStation and AutoCAD platforms, ensuring interoperability across different environments. The stand-alone interface includes model layout tools, background support, and conversion utilities.

Hydraulics and Inlet Design: The software calculates intercepted flow at network inlets and routes bypass flow using the FHWA HEC-22 methodology. It supports various inlet types and methods for computing headloss, including HEC-22 Energy and AASHTO methods. StormCAD handles subcritical, critical, and supercritical conditions using a standard-step algorithm.

Hydrology and Load Allocation: StormCAD employs the Rational Method for peak flow calculations and allows direct input of known flows. Users can specify Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) data and manage sub-watershed areas and C coefficients for each inlet watershed.

Automatic Design: The software features constraint-based design for gravity piping and structures, allowing users to specify design conditions such as velocities, covers, slopes, and pipe elevation offsets. It automatically determines cost-effective pipe sizes and invert elevations.

Scenario Management: StormCAD's Scenario Management Center enables engineers to configure, run, evaluate, and compare multiple scenarios within a single file, facilitating decision-making by comparing design approaches and evaluating system capacity.

Technical Requirements: The software requires a Pentium III processor at 1 GHz, Windows 2000 or XP, 256 MB of memory, and 250 MB of free storage space. It supports various interfaces and graphical editing features, including unlimited undo/redo, element morphing, and dynamic zooming.

Interoperability and Data Connections: StormCAD supports single model files for three interfaces, synchronized database connections, and polyline-to-pipe connections from DXF and DWG files. It offers comprehensive model management with unlimited scenarios, active topology, and customizable engineering libraries.

Hydraulics and Hydrology Features: The software includes steady-state simulations, various headloss and friction loss methods, and supports open channel and closed conduit hydraulics. It also provides multiple methods for time of concentration and external load assignment.

Results Presentation: StormCAD offers thematic mapping, dynamic graphing, advanced profiling, and tabular reporting with FlexTables. It supports property-based color coding, annotation, and contouring with Shapefile and DXF export.
