StormCAD

StormCAD is a software application developed by Bentley Systems for designing and analyzing stormwater drainage systems. It is widely used by civil engineers to create efficient drainage solutions for both urban and rural environments.

Key Features:

• Design Stormwater Networks:
  Pipe Networks: Design complex pipe networks, including storm sewers and culverts.
  Inlets and Outlets: Model various types of inlets and outlets to manage stormwater flow.
• Hydraulic Analysis:
  Flow Analysis: Calculate flow rates, velocities, and hydraulic grades within the drainage system.
  Pressure Analysis: Evaluate pressure conditions to ensure the system operates within safe limits.
• Inlet and Gutter Design:
  Surface Runoff Management: Design inlets and gutters to effectively capture and convey surface runoff.
  Capacity Analysis: Analyze the capacity of inlets and gutters to handle stormwater during different rainfall events.
• Scenario Management:
  Design Alternatives: Create and compare multiple design scenarios to determine the most effective solution.
  What-If Analysis: Perform what-if analyses to assess the impact of different design choices and environmental conditions.
• Integration:
  Bentley Product Suite: Seamlessly integrate with other Bentley products like SewerGEMS, WaterCAD, and OpenRoads for comprehensive project workflows.
  GIS Integration: Import and export data to and from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for enhanced spatial analysis and mapping.
• Reporting:
  Detailed Reports: Generate detailed engineering reports, including hydraulic calculations, design summaries, and system performance metrics.
  Documentation: Create documentation for project approval, regulatory compliance, and construction.
