Example model for darwing calibrator tool needed

Question

Hello all, 
 i'm currently working on a project and a reasearch and i want to show my colleagues that darwing calibrator is a reliable tool, to do so I need a model that can at least mimic real situations very well in which I can show them the values of the parameters as well as the leakage and try to explain financially why the tool is useful. For that matter I want to ask if anybody has any model that I can use as an example to apply darwin calibrator (dont need to be a real one, just as an example). Of course the more realistic the better. 
 Regards,

Hello Fernando, 
 We have a number of sample models that ship with WaterGEMS with different cases. These sample models can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\WaterGEMS\Samples. 
 Example5.wtg is an example of calibration based on three hydrant flow tests done at different times of the day. The hydrant flow, pressure, and corresponding pump and tank status are shown in the Demand Adjustments, Observed Target, and Boundary Overrides tabs within the calibration study, respectively. 
 Example4.wtg shows a system separated into DMAs, demonstrating the use of the Pump Station element. A Darwin Calibrator study is included, giving examples of calibration based on both static and residual hydrant flow tests. Optimized runs where both demand and roughness can be adjusted are included, along with examples of Manual runs where roughness and/or demands are adjusted manually. 
 Example8.wtg is an example of a leakage detection study using Darwin Calibrator. Observed hydraulic grades at several different locations in the system have been entered, for several different times of the day. The "Detect leakage node" option is used in each of the optimized runs, to detect leakage node candidates by using emitters. 
 The following link has additional information on Darwin Calibrator as well: Using Darwin Calibrator .
