SewerGEMS clash detection

Ref: https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/f/5925/t/135174

Is there any tips and example? as I understood from many engineers and modelers that they do not have a good reference and steps how to use this function.

I guess in sewergems and because the program has all platforms this function should be included there as well not only in Geopack, MX Road and inRoads, at least just to cross check between seweage and storm system. In Microdrainage you can also bring other utilities; so we hope bentley can cover this soon.

  • Hello Mohamad, can you clarify what "function" you're referring to? Are you referring to the original topic of this thread (automated design), or clash detection?

  • Hi Jesse,

    I am talking about the Clash Detection between Sewerage and Storm pipes, the function is added on other Bentley programs, and I do understand being their which also could be in sewergems as well since the sewerage and storm has the same platform now. on other hand being their as said before it is still ambiguous and hope that can be covered in your presentation or some guides on Youtube as you are doing frequently, this is very good tool which needed but we still need more to know how to be utilized. I already talked with many engineers and been told that they are not aware of that but fully aware of the Microdrainage function about the clash detection. I hope some tips and video could cover the wonderful usage of this function.
  • Hi Mohamad,

    As you mentioned, other Bentley products provide subsurface utility clash detection tools. Our solution to this was to combine the Haestad and Civil products - check out OpenRoads Designer. This allows you to take advantage of the strengths of the native Bentley Civil clash detection tools along with the strengths of the Haestad hydraulic modeling tools and calculations together. If you have a SewerGEMS license, you can utilize it within OpenRoads Designer to use the same capabilities that you have in SewerGEMS (as opposed to the included 100 inlet StormCAD license included by default).
