When exporting to EPANET, zero-length pipes and extra junctions are created at pumps and valves. EPANET treats pumps and valves as links and WaterCAD treats them as points, so this makes some sense as it will ensure the results are exactly identic...
HAMMER: Transient Results Viewer\Extended Node Data\Hydropneumatic Tank: the pressure or head engineering units indicated as absolute values on the Y axis. Without such mention a gauge value is assumed.
A new user looking for the first time at a pressure or head graph might be fooled by the fact that the Y axis does not mention that the units being graphed are in an absolute value. He or she might think hey I'm ok, minimum gauge value is 10 meter...
Sometimes you need to look at the controls for several facilities at once (e.g., two different pump stations that serve the same zone), and don't want to open the full controls table. It would be convenient to have an option to "open on selection"...
incorporate the FHWA hydraulic toolbox into the product for quick calcs, channel lining, culvert outlet protection, etc... Could be an add on that can pull the data out of the model.
Add New Features through ModelBuilder to All Topologies
I know you can configure your [Active] topology data sets to cascade, but sometimes we inherit models that are not set up like this. When you do a bulk import, you have to then go and activate every feature set for every [Active] topology. Add a c...
Currently there is only one post calculation. It's a pain to keep reconfiguring the calculator. This could be a data store like most other things in GEMS where you can make a new one, edit them, pick which ones are active or which to run after a s...
Add a toggle to disable moving elements in stand-alone applications.
It is far too easy to move elements in stand-alone WaterGEMS, such that I frequently move things by accident (thank you for easy undo). It would be nice to have the option to disable moving elements since we're 1:1 integrated with GIS and I rarely...
I have a problem when I export the model from watercad (in CMH) to Epanet the numbers are changed to L/S, even if i choose CMH in the epanet. For example: in watercad it is 1440 CMH while in the epanet it is still stays 400 even if the units are s...
Use a contour file to automatically set the elevation of new elements when I add them instead of having to use TRex repeatedly
I'm using WaterCAD and WaterGEMS for modeling and every time I add a new feature that is not on an already existing pipe, I need to set the elevation manually. For this I use TRex to set the elevation based on an ESRI contours shapefile from USGS....
A REST API connector in WaterCad would be very useful.
Bringing field data and attaching it to the hydraulic model is one of the projects that our company has been working on.
Currently, there are many IOT platforms and field data can be collec...
