Features of Bentley WaterGEMS CONNECT Edition 10.02.03.06:
Hydraulic & Water Quality Modeling: Perform comprehensive hydraulic simulations and water quality analyses (e.g., age, constituent, trace) for water distribution networks.
Pressure Management: Identify areas of high pressure and optimize pressure-reducing valve (PRV) placement.
Fire Flow Analysis: Evaluate fire flow capacity at various points in the network to ensure adequate water supply for emergencies.
Criticality Analysis: Identify critical pipes and valves to understand network vulnerability and improve reliability.
Energy Cost Analysis: Optimize pump operations and scheduling to minimize energy consumption and costs.
Leakage Detection: Tools to assist in identifying and managing water losses.
Automated Design & Calibration: Use design wizards and calibration tools to optimize network design and match model results to field data.
GIS Integration: Seamlessly integrate with Esri ArcGIS for geospatial data management and visualization.
CAD Integration: Work directly within AutoCAD and MicroStation environments, or as a standalone application.
Scenario Management: Create and manage multiple operating and design scenarios to compare alternatives.
Transient Analysis (HAMMER Integration): While WaterGEMS primarily focuses on steady-state and extended period simulation, it integrates with Bentley HAMMER for transient analysis (water hammer).
Reporting & Thematic Mapping: Generate detailed reports and create thematic maps to visualize results clearly.
Pipe Renewal Planner: Develop optimal pipe replacement and rehabilitation strategies.
