#BENTLY WATER CAD SOFTWARE#
WaterCAD is an evolution of a software product released in the early 90's by Haestad Methods, called CyberNet. This company was acquired by Bentley Systems in mid-2004, after which the product began to be known commercially as Bentley WaterCAD. WaterCAD was originally developed by the Haestad Methods, Inc. The software, in addition to having an autonomous graphical interface (Windows Stand Alone), can work in an integrated way CAD environments such as AutoCAD and Bentley MicroStation. The software also offers various options for viewing results such as tabular reports, profiles, time variation graphs, annotations and color coding, etc. This program, in addition to conventional tools for the analysis and modeling of pressure networks, has productivity tools in data management processes, construction of models from external files, extraction of elevations, assignment of demands based on techniques of spatial analysis, preparation and management of scenarios, complementary hydraulic calculations, operational management and preparation of reports and plans. WaterCAD also allows its capabilities to be extended to long-term supply systems management issues including: vulnerability analysis, fire protection analysis, energy cost estimation, hydraulic calibration, optimization, etc. based on the physical characteristics of the system and previously established demand conditions. The software whose calculation algorithm is based on the Hydraulic Gradient method, allows the hydraulic analysis of water networks (although it can be used for any Newtonian fluid ) determining the pressures at various points in the system, as well as the flows, speeds, losses in the lines that make up the hydraulic network as well as many other operational parameters derived from the elements present in the system such as: Pumps, Control Valves, Tanks, etc. 3 Types of Calculation and Complementary Modules.
