Bentley WaterGEMS V8i 08.11.06.58 Water Distribution Modeling and Management Easy and Customizable WaterGEMS is a comprehensive and easy to use water distribution modeling application. WaterGEMS can run from within ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and MicroStation, or as a stand-alone application, fulfilling the interoperability dream. From fire flow and water quality simulations, to criticality and energy cost analysis, WaterGEMS comes equipped with everything you need in a flexible multi-platform environment. Included Modules WaterGEMS includes state-of-the-art genetic algorithm optimization and model building modules: Model calibration - Darwin Calibrator evaluates millions of possible solutions to let users quickly find a calibration hypothesis that best matches measured flows, pressures, and on/off status. Darwin Calibrator also enables engineers to leverage flow and pressure data to find locations for detailed sonic leak detection. Optimized design - Darwin Designer evaluates thousands of alternatives that meet users' hydraulic requirements, recommending those that minimize capital investment. Pump scheduling - Darwin Scheduler enables the optimization of pump operations to meet hydraulic constraints for pressure, velocity, number of pump starts, and tank levels. Pipe assessment - Pipe Renewal Planner helps modelers optimize the replacement and rehabilitation of water mains by ranking the worst-performing pipes. SCADA integration - SCADAConnect lets users automatically acquire supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data in their WaterGEMS model. Network simplification - Skelebrator automates network simplification while maintaining connectivity and hydraulic equivalence, reallocating assigned demands to your specification.
