Perform computations using hydrograph peak flows

Allow for hydraulic computations to use the peak flow from hydrographs and instead of the dynamic flows generated from the hydrographs. The software StormShed (which is an allowed software for design use by WSDOT) calculates the peak flow from the...

Customer Meter Associated Element - Physical Alternative as Default, not Demand Alternative

Currently it is extremely tedious to change the Associated Element of a Customer Meter Model Element. An unfortunate design choice during Customer Meter implementation into WaterCAD was that within the WaterCAD Schema this Attribute was assigned t...

[Copy] External Flow Utility Properties for Manholes

Catch basins have the following flow types that can be added: additional subsurface flow (cfs), known flow (cfs), additional carryover flow (cfs), external CA (acres), and external Tc (min). Manholes only have the option of known flow. Known flows...

Manhole Spacing Based on Pipe Diameter

Problem: The spacing between manholes isn’t automatically related to pipe diameter. Suggestion: Allow the program to adjust spacing between manholes based on the pipe diameter.

Link Population Density from GIS to Network Design

Problem: Current population data from GIS is not automatically used for calculating wastewater flow. Suggestion: Integrate GIS-based population density data with hydraulic calculations, including projections for future urban expansion.

Generate Network Routing Scenarios Based on Road Slopes

Problem: Network routing is based solely on the drawn layout, without considering road slopes or the optimal path. Suggestion: Introduce a feature that suggests multiple routing scenarios based on road slopes and shortest paths to the lift station.

Display Natural Ground Elevations with Color Gradients

Problem: It’s difficult to visually identify high and low ground areas during planning. Suggestion: Display natural ground elevations using color gradients to highlight high areas as potential starting points for gravity lines, and low areas as po...

Automated Extraction and Layout of Profiles

Problem: Extracting profiles and placing them on sheets with proper labeling is a time-intensive manual process. Suggestion: Provide an option to automatically extract profiles, arrange them on sheets, and assign appropriate numbers within the sof...

Globally edit pipe material and associated properties

When globally editing pipe material in WaterCAD (using flextables -->pipe), the current option allows you to type in the name of the material, but the associated pipe properties are not updated. It would be convenient if you could globally edit...
