Typical workflows
- Model setup: import network geometry from CAD/GIS or build manually; define node elevations, pipe sizes, slopes, and boundary conditions.
- Demand and rainfall definition: assign dry-weather flows, population-based unit rates, diurnal curves, and time-varying rainfall inputs.
- Simulation: run steady-state or extended-period simulations; analyze peak and time-series results.
- Results review: inspect node hydrographs, pipe flow/time profiles, surcharge locations, pump performance, and energy usage.
- Scenario testing: compare design alternatives, upsizing, adding storage, or pump upgrades; evaluate resilience to I/I and climate-driven storm intensities.
- Reporting: generate deliverables—summary tables, exportable data, and plan/profile outputs for design documentation.
Terrain Modeling: Leverage the software's ability to "read" digital terrain models (DTMs) to automatically assign ground elevations to manholes. Model setup: import network geometry from CAD/GIS or
