Conveniently work on diverse water, wastewater, and stormwater projects
The OpenFlows WorkSuite bundles our two most advanced hydraulics and hydrology solutions - OpenFlows Water and OpenFlows Sewer - at a competitive price. With the OpenFlows WorkSuite, small and large utilities, as well as consultants can plan, design, and optimize water distribution, sanitary and combined sewer systems. The OpenFlows WorkSuite is offered in three sizes: 1,000, 5,000, and unlimited pipes.
Optimize model calibration, design, and operations
OpenFlows Water provides an easy-to-use environment for you to confidently analyze, design, and optimize your water distribution systems. With advanced interoperability, geospatial model building, optimization, and asset management capabilities, OpenFlows Water supports your engineering workflows from fire flow and water quality analysis to energy consumption and capital cost management.
Advanced tools for sanitary and combined sewer systems
With OpenFlows Sewer, you can analyze, design, and operate sanitary and combined sewer systems. Decrease your decision risks by ensuring that the model uses the best available data, built-in hydraulic and hydrology capabilities, and a variety of wet-weather calibration methods. You can create what-if scenarios to gain a better understanding of wastewater systems to make smarter decisions and improve your response times. SCADA integration provides you with reliable model results and ultimately enables you to comply with sewer regulations set by regulatory agencies.
OpenFlows Water Technical Capabilities
Scenario Management
Perform multiple hydraulic model scenarios using alternative data sets to simulate the system under a variety of what-if conditions. Analyze pipe and valve criticality to determine the weakest links in your water distribution system.
Transient Simulation and Analysis
Use water hammer and hydraulic analysis software to efficiently identify, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with transients.
Hydraulic Modeling
Build your hydraulic model quickly, synchronizing network data from standard formats that include GIS and CAD files, databases, and spreadsheets. Be compatible with various data formats and sources.
Model Calibration
Apply AI-powered automated calibration using Darwin® Calibrator and ensure your model is calibrated and accurate in any condition—including peak days, component failures, fire flows, and future demands—by eliminating discrepancies between the model and field data.
Design Optimization
Use Darwin Designer to automatically determine maximum pressure benefits, minimum cost designs, and rehabilitation strategies based on available budget, construction cost, and pressure and velocity constraints.
Energy Analysis and Optimization
Use Darwin Scheduler to identify the most energy-efficient pump scheduling strategies for fixed-speed and variable-speed pumps to minimize energy usage and energy costs. Compute energy costs and carbon emissions for specific scenarios.
OpenFlows Water includes the capabilities of OpenFlows Water, WaterCAD, and HAMMER. The software is licensed in four convenient tiers. See the Comparison Checklist to decide the tier that best suits your project and analysis needs.

OpenFlows Sewer Technical Capabilities
Design and Analyze Sanitary and Combined Sewer Systems
Analyze gravity flow, overflows, flow splits/diversions, pump stations, and force mains with various dry- and wet-weather calculation methods. Compare solutions with automated gravity system design and scenario management capabilities. Design and analyze stormwater systems by performing comprehensive analyses for inlet capture and bypass flows, gutters, detention facilities, open channels, and culverts.
Scenario Management
Configure, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of scenarios within a single file. Evaluate strategies for design, operations, sanitary loading, and network topology to improve decision-making.
Interoperable Hydrailic modeling
Model within several platforms while accessing a single, shared project data source so you can produce optimal urban sewer planning and overflow remediation analysis designs in an easy-to-use environment.
1D/2D Hydraulic Analysis
Understand surface flooding depth and velocity, flood hazard, and inundation times with user-friendly capabilities that connect 1D network elements with 2D surface flows.
Multiple 1D Hydraulic Solver Options
Perform dynamic 1D analysis using Saint-Venant equations. Use the GVF-Convex solver to analyze peak flows, automatically design storm sewers, or perform extended-period simulations.
Loading Allocation And Estimation
Accurately model flow changes over the course of a day. Load models with wet weather runoff flows from precipitation using built-in rainfall distributions or user-defined rainfall events.
OpenFlows Sewer includes the capabilities of OpenFlows SewerGEMS and SewerCAD. The software is licensed in four convenient tiers. See the Comparison Checklist to decide the tier that best suits your project and analysis needs.
