This article documents platform (AutoCAD, MicroStation and ArcGIS) and operating system compatibility for each OpenFlows product version.
A Note on Hardware / System Requirements
For hardware requirements (RAM, CPU, Video card), refer to the Readme.PDF file included in the installation folder of your Bentley OpenFlows product. In general, hardware requirements are highly dependent on the size and complexity of the model. The more elements and more complexity in the model and the longer the simulation duration, the more memory it will take up and the more a faster CPU will impact overall performance. Since modeling is done in 2D, OpenFlows products are not graphics intensive. For more information, see How to increase model performance / reduce run time.
To download the latest versions of the products, please see the following link: Downloading OpenFlows / Hydraulics and Hydrology Software.

Each version of OpenRoads Designer, OpenSite Designer, and OpenRail Designer uses a different version of the OpenFlows technology (SewerGEMS/StormCAD). For model compatibility, see the table near the bottom of the following article: Understanding OpenFlows Hydraulics and Hydrology Functionality in Civil Products
NOTE: If you have SELECT OpenAccess licensing, you will have all the features above available for use.
Bentley's OpenFlows products only integrate with full versions of AutoCAD and will not integrate with AutoCAD LT (Lite).
As of December 2020, the latest available versions of the OpenFlows products do not yet integrate with MicroStation CONNECT Edition. Please see: CAD Functionality in Standalone as an Alternative to AutoCAD or MicroStation Integration For example you can import MicroStation CAD files into the Standalone version using ModelBuilder and export the model plan view from Standalone to DXF format and insert that into your MicroStation design file.
See: ProjectWise CONNECT Edition Compatibility
ArcGIS Pro integration started with WaterGEMS version 10.03.02.75
