Improve Graph Default Interval Increments

Sometimes WaterGEMS seems to have the most peculiar default intervals on graphs on the y-axis. I regularly see intervals of 0.63, 1.25,12.5, and 62.50. All of these tend to obscure the values I actually care about. I would much rather see interval...

Engineering Profile for WaterGEMS

Current profiles in WaterGEMS are too flat for clear visualization of network issues. Engineering-style profiles would provide a detailed view, showing pipe sizes, fittings, and key hydraulic data. This would help engineers better understand press...

turbine load acceptance followed by load rejection

sir the above case is so important in case of surge protection of tail race tunnel and head race tunnel. Also, now a days most of the hydropower plants, the surge tank has been replaced with SURGE GALLERY (IT IS JUST LIKE LONG PIPE OF HAVING DIFFR...

Graph of mass (real) air flow through an air valve

It would be better if the detailed airflow graph would show the "mass air flow rate" and thus the user can confirm whether real air volume was expelled from the air valve to the atmosphere or not. The current situation in which we watch "momentary...

When a surge relief valve dumps to a reservoir, can an external pressure input option be added to the software?

When a surge relief valve dumps to a reservoir, can an external pressure input option be added to the software? Other softwares for transient analysis have this input.

Fix FCV calculation routine and/or add calculation option

Background info (including Jesse Dringoli's response) can be found here. The Flow Control Valve (FCV) calculations in WaterGEMS currently allows the calculated Cv value to exceed the fully open Cv value. The link to the Forum post above includes m...

Extended node data (Report period) for check valves

A check valve is a fundamental device used in water systems. Having a detailed graph of its closing status, upstream vs. downstream pressure and other parameters will be super useful!. Thank you Tal

Report Period graphs for SAV + SRV

Hi Having a dedicated Report Period of discharge flow + volume and valve's opening degree graphs, will be very beneficial as I'm using SAVs quite often as a solution, and it's very popular in many territories. Thank you Tal

Max Velocity constraint variable according to pipe diameter

In Portugal, as in several countries for where we work, maximum flow velocity in each pipe depends on its diameter. So that, as happens in SewerGEMS, velocity design constraint should be defined for each diameter, and should be a property of each ...

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....
