[Copy] Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

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....

SewerGEMS: Adding minimum and average flow rates through a conduit

SewerGEMS software allows you to display the results of calculating the flow rate through a conduit (instantaneous and maximum). However, it is not possible to display the minimum and average values Suggestion: Add "Flow (Average)" and "Flow (Mini...

REST API Connection

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...

Add direct access single click tool for selecting all upstream and all downstream pipes.

I suggest adding separate single click direct access tool or button (Water CAD/Water GEM) to selecting upstream and downstream pipes. It has the potential to save time and improve modeller's efficiency. This selection can be done through Navigator...

Option to account for surcharge for enclosed storage

For enclosed storages that are undersized and are required to analyze the effects of surcharge, it would be usedful to have a field when created a pond, where you can seleect if the "pond" is enclosed and if you would like to account for surcharge...

[Copy] It would be beneficial to allow drainage designers to use graphical elements in combination with terrains to define time of concentration components

Currently, in order to determine one of the components of the Time of Concentration (Tc), ORD DU users have to jump completely out of the 'Catchment Properties' interface to determine the length and slope of the Tc element (since once you are in t...

[Copy] ORD Drainage - Show actual Tc versus Tc Minimum

Many times a calculated Time of Concentration is less than the minimum used for Intensity. When this occurs in a system of drainage areas (catchments), it helps a designer AND a reviewer to see what the actual Time of Concentration is at a given p...

[Copy] Openroads Drainage - HGL versus Headwater Analysis for Headwalls Inletting into a Storm Sewer System

Many times, a stream needs to be drained into a storm sewer system via a headwall. When this occurs, two analysis should be considered: The headwater at the headwall (the mechanics of the water getting into the pipe at the headwall). Generally K...
