WaterGEMS 2024 es un software de análisis, diseño y modelado hidráulico de sistemas de distribución de agua. Este software ayuda a mejorar el conocimiento de como la infraestructura se comporta en un sistema, como reacciona a las estrategias operativas, y como debe crecer a medida que aumentan las exigencias de la población.

WaterGEMS  incluye por defecto a WaterCAD, por lo tanto, un modelo creado en WaterGEMS puede ser leído sin ningún problema en WaterCAD y viceversa.

Capacidades de WaterGEMS 

•  Encontrar los puntos débiles de los sistemas de distribución de agua y evaluar la adecuación de las válvulas de aislamiento.
• Usar un modelo hidráulico de distribución de agua para acceder e identificar donde la protección contra incendios es insuficiente.
• Construir y gestionar modelos hidráulicos
• Utilizar los resultados del modelo hidráulico para ayudar a optimizar el diseño de redes de distribución de agua
• Identificar las fugas de agua
• Administrar el uso de energía
• Identificar las tuberías que deben ser consideradas para su renovación o reparación.
• Simular las redes en tiempo real

Algunas novedades en WaterGEMS 2024

• Topología activa basada en consultas: Ahora puede configurar la topología activa para un sistema basándose en una consulta. Para facilitar esto, se ha incluido una nueva propiedad Year Retired para tuberías y diferentes nodos, como tanques y bombas.
• Grupos de conjuntos de selección: Ahora puede agrupar conjuntos de selección usando la opción Folder. Esto ayudará con la organización y el uso de conjuntos de selección. En el administrador de Selection Sets, haga clic en el botón New y elija Folders.
• Se agregó una nueva consulta a Network Navigator para ayudar a identificar tuberías a las que hacen referencia las válvulas de aislamiento en un modelo.
• Función de sugerencias de gráficos: Cuando pasa el cursor sobre una serie de gráficos, ahora podrá ver qué propiedades están incluidas en el gráfico.
• Se han agregado varias mejoras de usabilidad a WaterGEMS cuando se utiliza la integración de ArcGIS Pro
• Compatibilidad de ModelBuilder con funciones de ArcGIS Online: Las funciones de ArcGIS Online ahora son compatibles con ModelBuilder cuando se trabaja en WaterGEMS para ArcGIS Pro.

Bentley WaterGEMS is a hydraulic modeling application for planning, designing, and operating water distribution systems. It supports steady-state and extended period simulations, pressure-dependent demands, and water quality analyses (age, constituent, and source tracing). Built-in tools help you build and maintain models, calibrate and optimize networks, and evaluate reliability—including ModelBuilder and LoadBuilder for data loading, Skelebrator for network skeletonization, Darwin Calibrator/Designer for calibration and design, Fire Flow and Criticality for resilience assessment, and SCADAConnect for SCADA data integration. You can compare what-if scenarios, analyze energy use and pump operations, and prioritize capital improvements. WaterGEMS runs standalone or inside ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and MicroStation, streamlining GIS/CAD workflows. Typical applications include master planning, fire protection analysis, outage and contamination impact studies, and day-to-day operational decision support.

Bentley WaterGEMS is developed by Bentley Systems, Inc. and is used by 9 users of Software Informer. The most popular version of this product among our users is 10.0. The name of the program executable file is WaterGEMS.exe.

WaterGEMS is a hydraulic modeling software developed by Bentley Systems, designed for the analysis, design, and optimization of water distribution systems. It helps engineers and water professionals to simulate and analyze the behavior of water distribution networks.

 

Here are some of the key features of WaterGEMS: Hydraulic Analysis: WaterGEMS enables users to perform complex hydraulic analyses of water distribution networks. It models the flow of water, pressure variations, and other hydraulic characteristics throughout the system. Network Modeling: Users can create and manage detailed models of water distribution networks, including pipes, pumps, valves, tanks, reservoirs, and other components.

Demand and Consumption Modeling: The software allows for the simulation of various water demand scenarios, helping to understand how changes in demand patterns impact the network’s performance.

Leak Detection and Management: WaterGEMS can assist in identifying and managing leaks within the distribution system by simulating pressure and flow data and comparing it to actual measurements.

Water Quality Analysis: The software offers tools to model water quality aspects within the distribution network, including chlorine decay, contamination propagation, and disinfection processes.

Scenario Analysis: Users can evaluate different scenarios and strategies for network improvement, expansion, or maintenance to make informed decisions about system upgrades or changes. Pressure Zone Management: WaterGEMS supports the creation and analysis of pressure zones within the distribution network, helping to optimize pressure levels and reduce energy consumption.

Pump Scheduling and Control: The software can optimize pump operation schedules and controls to minimize energy consumption and maintain desired pressure levels. Integration with GIS: WaterGEMS can integrate with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, allowing users to import and utilize real-world geographical information for more accurate modeling.

Graphical User Interface: The software provides an intuitive graphical interface that allows users to easily create, modify, and visualize their water distribution network models. Reporting and Visualization: WaterGEMS offers tools for generating detailed reports, charts, and graphs to communicate analysis results and findings effectively. Data Exchange: The software supports data exchange with other modeling and analysis tools, facilitating collaboration and integration into larger workflows. Optimization: Users can use WaterGEMS to optimize various aspects of the water distribution network, such as pipe sizing, pump placement, and valve settings to improve overall system efficiency and performance. Model Calibration:

The software supports calibration of the model with real-world data to improve the accuracy of simulation results and better reflect the behavior of the actual distribution network. Scenario Comparison: WaterGEMS allows users to compare the results of different scenarios side by side, aiding in the evaluation of different strategies and alternatives. Overall, WaterGEMS is a powerful tool that helps water engineers and professionals manage, analyze, and optimize water distribution systems to ensure efficient and reliable delivery of clean water to communities.
