I am therefore, very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of both platforms. All of these requests are applicable for the stand-alone OpenFlows products.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Controls. The operational alternatives and control sets need to be completely overhauled as the current system is too complicated, even for experienced modelers to use reliably. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;The control issues are serious enough that I would not recommend using WaterGEMS over the competition&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is the purpose of having both an operational alternative and a control set? An alternative can only hold 1 control set at a time, so why not just combine the two?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It sounds like a good idea to re-use conditions or actions in multiple controls, but in practice, it just makes it hard to understand what is going on. If I open a model and change a condition, how do I know what other controls, if any, are referencing that same condition? I may have inadvertently changed a lot of other controls. The solution seems to be to just create a new condition and action for each control. This is fine for simple controls, but when you start throwing in logical controls and composite conditions/actions, it gets messy really quickly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Window positioning. I spend time getting the windows positioned and pinned exactly where I like them to be most efficient for my workflow, but every time an update is installed, it resets all of them. This is incredibly annoying. Every other software developer has figured this out. Please fix this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Selection dialog. When I open a tool to select something on the screen (the Active Topology selection tool for example) the &amp;quot;Select&amp;quot; dialog goes to the middle of the screen. Usually, I have zoomed to the elements I want to select, and the dialog covers them up. Every time this happens I get annoyed. I can zoom or pan to bring the elements in view, but why not just put the selection dialog somewhere else on the screen? Maybe the upper right corner? This is an easy fix.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Measurement tool. The stand-alone software needs a measurement tool. I know you can draw in a pipe and view the length, but that is a good way to accidently mess up your model. I know you can use the GIS-integrated version and use the measure tools there, but many people prefer the stand-alone version and need a measurement tool. I suggested this feature 4 or 5 years ago and was told it was under consideration. This should be an easy feature to implement.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bing maps. If the Bing maps background layer is turned off when the model is opened, the position will be wrong. The only way to fix it is to open the Bing Map properties dialog, and then close it without making any changes. Please fix this bug. It would also be nice to be able to set the transparency or saturation of the Bing Maps layer because the imagery map often makes it difficult to see the model elements.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Results. This is a minor annoyance. When you run a model scenario, it generates several output files. If you run multiple scenarios, you can end up with a lot of output files in the folder you have saved your model, making it hard to navigate. To solve this, I use the &amp;quot;Specify custom results file path&amp;quot; option to put all the output files into a single &amp;quot;Output&amp;quot; folder. This should be the default behavior.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I come from the pumping industry in Australia and trialing the use of SewerCAD at the moment, we use steady-state modeling via excel sheets and also some of the other modeling tools available in the market.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have gone through the exercises available on Youtube and also from your learn server, where it doesn&amp;#39;t actually represent&amp;nbsp;a real-life problem, the pump curves are not just available for a project as you show, and in most cases, for a model it is the responsibility of the designer to choose the pump/s with the help of suppliers, for this, the designer is expected to provide a duty point ie. flow and required head.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;please see attached for a simplified real-life problem where we are required to work the pump duty point so we can select a pump. We can do this in various other ways as I have mentioned above and what I want to please know is how to tackle this from SewerCAD. How would you model a system to work out the pump&amp;#39;s duty point without placing the pump?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5925/CamScanner-04_2D00_17_2D00_2022-15.46.pdf"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../CamScanner-04_2D00_17_2D00_2022-15.46.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;explanation of the scenario:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we have a wet well and the pump sets are submersible centrifugal sewer pumps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the incoming gravity pipework is 225mm Ductile Iron pipework, ID is 240mm. The peak incoming flow is 12L/s, and our requirement is the match this flow via the pump selection. ie. the pump flow rate has to be min 12L/s. The levels are provided in the model and based on this flow rate we have selected the forced main as 125mm PE100 PN16 (ID is 102mm)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In some of the other modeling tools, we can place the pump as a fixed flow pump and when we run the model it would develop the required duty point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;while searching about this topic, I had come across this: &lt;a href="/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/16879/estimating-a-pump-curve-for-a-model"&gt;https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/16879/estimating-a-pump-curve-for-a-model&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not too sure if this works or not.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;your help in this regard is appreciated and believe this will help many.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;So if I understand the concept of Customer meter elements correctly you can use them in order to more accurately assign the customer demands to nearby nodes without having to incorporate the pipes that connect to the customer meters in to your model. But then the I find myself wondering the following:&lt;br /&gt; If my license allows me to model with a limit of 2000 pipes is that then really 2000 pipes or is that 2000 elements. So is it:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;all my pipes, nodes customer meter elements etc together can&amp;rsquo;t be more than 2000&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;or can I have 2000 pipes plus the nodes and elements attached to them and then also some customer meter elements for example.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="2"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The X and Y coordinates that are mentioned are those the same as latitude and longitude coordinates? So let&amp;rsquo;s say I have the longitude and longitude of my customer meters along with the demand at those meters will load builder and modelbuilder properly place the subsequent customer meter elements and demands based on the latitude and longitude? I do not understand how the x and Y coordinate system in WaterCAD works and how I check to see if ccordinates of junctions that I bring in for example with t-rex will come in with the right x-y ccordinates&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="3"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When using thiessen Polygon generation would you have to draw the outer surface polygon before or after running the generator?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol start="4"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I wanted to know if I understood the concept of the GIS ID correctly. So from my understanding an element (pipe for example) is given an ID in the GIS source and when you import the elements form the GIS source that pipe comes in to WaterCAD with that ID attached to it. The pipe in the WaterCAD model and the GIS database are then linked through the ID so that when a change is made in the waterCAD model (say for example the c-factor of the pipe ) it automatically updates the pipe in the GIS database. Unless the ID of the element has been lost through for example skeletonization of the WaterCAD model.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Shapefile problem</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum/226657/shapefile-problem</link><pubDate>Sun, 06 Mar 2022 04:17:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cb7a700f-8283-42d6-b89c-5dab3cb2833c</guid><dc:creator>Rahul Rao</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have asked my surveyor to provide me with shapefile of a network&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I put a model together that is giving me wildly large available fire flows from the hydrants in the system. The city we are providing services for have provided us with a spread sheet showing significantly lower flows from those hydrants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is an example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NW_115 in model is giving an available flow of 4,000 gpm (upper limit for the model is 4,000 gpm).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NW_115 in the field is giving an available flow of 2,255 gpm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All hydrants are discharging from 2 inch orifices&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there something in my model that is set incorrectly?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please help. How do I upload a file that is 9.5 MB?&lt;/p&gt;

The grinder pumps are a combination of a 32.5 and 70 gallon storage tanks and the grinder pumps only turn on when they have reached tank capacity. I&amp;nbsp;also have a master pump stations that serves as a re-pump to the force main.

I am fairly new to modelling. Therefore, having many question related to the model building as well as understanding proper ways to carry out modelling.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is what I have and what I did.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Customer meter with billing data, laterals, taps.&amp;nbsp; - All the data is imported into the model and the model is built.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Two inlets having a known flow values in&amp;nbsp; 5 meter interval, along with the pressure - These inlets are modelled as Reservoirs. The Pressure values are used to calculate the HGL and then Reservoir HGL Pattern is created and assigned to each of the inlet reservoirs respectively.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Pressure Loggers inside the DMAs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For creating the demand pattern, I used the inlet flow data and created a multiplier for each of the inlet. Have created the hydraulic pattern of the same in WaterGEMS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I assigned one of this multipliers to all the customer demand nodes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also note that, I have calculated the Losses&amp;nbsp; by [Water supplied - (Water Billed per month/30 days) ].&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Then I calculated the losses per customer meter and added that value to all the meters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Is the&amp;nbsp;method of calculation of the demand pattern correct? If not, please suggest a correct way to arrive on it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. In case of multiple inlets, how do I know which inlet is supplying to which part of the network, and thereby how do I know which hydraulic pattern to be assigned to which customer?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thanks for bearing me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve got a very small model (12 pipes, 2 pumps) I&amp;#39;m using to simulate a small force main system.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve set it up as an EPS run.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I export the model (File --&amp;gt; Export --&amp;gt; Excel) ALL EPS timesteps are exported, but I only want several timesteps exported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know I can select a timestep in &amp;quot;Times&amp;quot;, then open up Flextables for the various elements and export to CVS from there, but that&amp;#39;s a lot of work, and I&amp;#39;m lazy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to have Watercad export all element data for only 1 timestep using the File --&amp;gt; Export option?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TIA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Best Practice for fixing Negative Pressure at Pump</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/haestad-hydraulics-and-hydrology-forum/214811/best-practice-for-fixing-negative-pressure-at-pump</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jun 2021 20:58:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cb30cfc0-88c2-450b-9079-c8b53647dcbc</guid><dc:creator>Mark Medina</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;System:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WaterGems Connect Edition Update 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure how to check which version but I checked and all my applications are the most up to date.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alright so I set up an existing system for a city that I help with. I have everything as accurate as possible. I have this problem on other projects as well. I have a negative pressure because of the suction on&amp;nbsp; between the reservoir. The pipes are the right size and roughness. I even tried using check valves to correct the issue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I uploaded the model through a secure file upload if you want to take a look at it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried increasing the elevation of the reservoir but then I have to change the pump curve to match.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there another way?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
