Hi,
I am working on SewerGems. Trying to understand how Aecosim and sewerGems are connected. How to rvatiwork collabratively between sewerGems and Aecosim. Looking for integration between both the softwares.
You can always publish your SewerGems model as an I-model and open it in any Bentley product to share or interchange information between softwares.https://www.bentley.com/en/i-models

Integration between SewerGEMS and Aecosim would be by way of data exchange. As Robert said, you could publish to i-model and reference that in Aecosim. Here is an article on the Haestad Community Wiki on this subject: What is an i-model and why does it show as a prerequisite? How do I publish an i-model?
SewerGEMS has the ability to publish to many other formats as well, such as Shapefile and Excel.

Can I find any example or tutorial on using sewerGems Model/Data in BIM Environment. can I find any procedure or execution methodology.
while importing in to BIM can we have the locations, elevations and BOQ which can be read and Generate a 3D Model automatically.
Hi Krishna,
What are you looking for, in an AECOsim context, outside of using the sewerGems model for coordination purposes? You mention location/elevation and BOQ in regards to "generating a 3D model automatically", but it's not clear the type of workflow you have in mind nor the end result.
Krishna,
Are you looking to produce drawings of water treatment plants, for example?
So, the piping etc elements designed in SewerGems, is enclosed by or connects to concrete structures modeled in Aecosim?
If so, I think that you will be disappointed in the short term. Aecosim currently uses something called Family and Parts for defining drawing symbology and Datagroup System for BIM / business data.
SewerGems apparently uses Element Symbology Manager. It should be possible to map the settings into F+P if you are generating the drawings in Aecosim.... with some help from Bentley.
