What is the difference between sewercad and sewergems? What is the practical difference? I am making a sewer model. Will they both do the same things? Will one do more than the other?
Also, I swear there used to be a separate version, sewercad and sewercad sanitary. One was instantaneous, and one was a simulation over time?
Thanks for any help with this.
Please have a look at this wiki technote about SewerGEMS vs. SewerGEMS Sanitary as it should answer most of your questions:
The part you want to read is the third entry on this general FAQ wiki page.
You might also want to read about the new unified schema update that was done with the storm sewer products for their most recent versions because this will expand upon the information in the previous link.

Yes, there were two separate versions, but not quite like you thought. SewerCAD was one product and SewerGEMS Sanitary was another, but they were essentially both SewerCAD because both used the same solver. The only real difference was that SewerGEMS Sanitary came packaged with SewerGEMS and had the ability to integrate with ArcGIS. This is all discussed in the wiki technote that I linked to above.
I hope that helps out.

Mark
