Bentley WaterGEMS

WaterGEMS is the application for modeling of water supply systems.

WaterGEMS can work in environments ArcGIS, AutoCAD and MicroStation or as the autonomous application. Possibilities of the WaterGEMS application — from modeling of a consumption of water at fire extinguishing, water qualities, the analysis of criticality and energy costs and before advanced optimization using the genetic algorithm, all this provides you to all necessary in the flexible multiplatform environment.

Specific Features

• mapping and data management – a wide choice of geospatial technologies for creation, updating, service and the publication of corporate data GIS
• joint use by information and cooperation – provides safe storage, access and technical data management and processes within the distributed organizations
• hydraulic modeling and the analysis – are provided in a product line of Haestad Methods of Bentley company,
• design documentation – functional and physical processing of the three-dimensional project of installation, the plan and a profile of the pipeline, the construction detailing and development of building of section
• the organization of operation and supervision – from diagrams of section of pipelines to executive drawings and mapping and inspection on the basis of GPS
• operation and service – supports the automated processes of transactions of service, support of operational solutions in real time and sharing of information on a basis the Internet

Advantages

• Interaction without loss of functionality - capability to work in four platforms - ArcGIS, AutoCAD, MicroStation and is autonomous - WaterGEMS offers true compatibility without need to sacrifice functionality.
• Preserving of skills - WaterGEMS allows a command of modeling to cooperate smoothly from individual skills, saving data modeling without restrictions of the platform.
• Comprehensive functionality - right after the WaterGEMS installation it is ready to provide calculations of hydraulics, a pressure, water quality, criticality, energy and capital costs, the analysis of the opportunities available in WaterCAD, optimization and capacity of modules
• Integration with ArcGIS - users of ArcGIS users can use all advantages of the created architectural base of geodata of ESRI to support a uniform data set for modeling and GIS
• The built-in functions save time, helping to simplify data entry and leaving more time for design and decision making.
• Use of the existing data - if there are drawings of a CAD, GIS files, or external databases for a water supply system, then several clicks the mouse also will create model of network using WaterGEMS. Geospatial modules will help you to observe requirements and levels automatically while they simple in use of a setup wizard will help to take data and topology from geospatial data, SCADA and external databases.
• Joint work with all - WaterGEMS offers more careers of cooperation of a command, clients and colleagues
• The organization of scenarios - for the best decision making is used a special tool of WaterGEMS - Scenario Control Center for unlimited number of scenarios of network topology in terms of arrangement, a consumption of water, operation. They can be created "on the fly", allowing to compare results for decision support.

2014: New version of WaterGEMS

On September 16, 2014 the Bentley Systems company announced start of software of WaterGEMS for information modeling, design and the analysis of water supply systems.

The release of the version of WaterGEMS gives the chance of viewing data of SCADA, both in real time, and in last period, and allows to compare data of SCADA with data of results of modeling, including demonstration of alarm signals directly in hydraulic model. Hi-tech visualization tools allow creators of hydraulic models to monitor changes of signals of SCADA in response to events in real time similar to the screen of the human-machine interface (HMI) that allows them to control directly a situation and to optimize decision making process.

The version provides:

• preparation of analyses of water quality on several components.
• the publication of hydraulic models (including results) in the container i-model for use in Bentley Map Mobile, the application which works on tablets Android, iPad and iPad mini;
• create models in the latests version of MicroStation, AutoCAD (including AutoCAD 2015) and ArcGIS (including ArcGIS 10.2).
